Front looks off, no wet sanding polish or wax has be done.

[unloadedak]

did you use a primer or something to change the fact that the quarters are white and the fenders are black?


idk much about paint. just a thought.

Are you running EBC? Looking at your WG there.

Did you removed the primer from your bmw fenders? If not you really should have bmw just sprays a shitty Eco primer on them so they don't rust to get a good finish you gotta sand that shit off to bare metal take the metal to 180 grit then prime it. Wet sand then lay your color.

I sanded them down with 200 then filler primer which was sanded again, cleaned and began the actual paint.

No ebc, just a mbc. Hallman boost controller I think.

I run a 245/40/17 continental on stock fenders.... I wonder how much wider the rs3 actually runs. You think closer to a 265 section???

Damn you made those rattle cans skeet. Good shit bro. How much time into the paint?

Id say somewhere between 15-25 hours.

Id imagine alot wider, the 255s in the rear I believe are over 10 inches.

Not much progress, however I need to warn some people about the rx7 remanufactured calipers. Some of them were retapped with bigger threads, my passenger side caliper had this done, everything threaded fine but when I bleed the system and pushed the brake pedal a few times the line shot off. This was with thread sealant and tighten as correctly as wrong threads could. Just spreading the word, already have a new one on the way. If this was not caught, it could have ended badly.

Messing with an intake manifold in my spare time.

I approve of this
