My car is just about done

shift330 · 10-03-2008, 02:13 AM

Well after 4 months of BS and the shop moving at a snails pace it looks like I'll finally have my car back this weekend. It's been in the shop waiting for new paint. (Lamborghini Monterey Blue with a black roof.) You cant see in the pics but the CF hood will have painted sides and the top of the CF trunk lid will be black along with the roof due to some damage from shipping. I'll update as soon as it's done. Sorry for the sh**y quality of the pics. The paint looks much better in person.

Oh, and the wheels at the bottom are what will be going on as soon as the lips are painted to match.

PS: The car was Titanium Silver to start with. And do you guys think I should paint my brake calipers yellow or leave them alone? Already painted my swoop scoops yellow.

EDIT: pic after paint http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=183315 (new wheels are still not on yet.)

+1. No other alternatives? Just wondering...

The color looks ill, great choice.

MyE92 · 10-03-2008, 09:28 AM

Great color, not feelin' the wheels tho...

shift330 · 10-03-2008, 09:32 AM

Lol, the wheels are better than the ones that are on it now, I think at least. They'll probably last another 6 months like the current set has. They were cheap too

I've been socking away alot of extra money since my wife's due with our first kid in December. Running out of modding budget. Maybe next summer I'll get some black CSL reps.

VMRWheels · 10-03-2008, 01:14 PM

The color looks great. Is it a custom mix, or is there a color code for it?

BTW, let us know when you're in the market and we can help you out at that time. :-)

If you're looking for BLACK CSL reps, we're the only supplier of Velocity Motoring that sells the great looking black CSL style wheels. Take a look at some of photos of the black wheels, as well as if you have any questions feel free to contact me directly

It's not a custom mixed color, however, the PPG dealer had a tough time finding the code and the formula to mix it.

The color is straight off the paint chart for an '04 Lamborghini. If anyone wants the code, I can find out just lmk.

Cant wait to see the end result! I think it may look really good when completed.

+100000 what PJ just said.

The first set was more expensive then a set of CSL reps. Maybe if I can find a good deal or sell off a set or two of old wheels to a tire shop I'll get some CSL's or OEM type 193's and powder coat them black. I'm open to sugestions since everyone thinks my taste in wheels is so awful.
