thing is i dun wana touch the logo.. i wan to use glossy black/red sticker for the chrome grille and boot chrome part..

For all those interested can contact JP Works:

As for the bubbles, the shots was taken right after application. As for me, I don't really mind coz the look is all I am aiming for. Nice guy, very recommended.

cool was thinking if they can spray the handles to same colour as the car instead of de-chrome...

if u spray, after some time of usage of the handle, the paint will start to chip off bit by bit

thanks for the tip

did ask my SE about the option of not having chrome handles before i got it but seems like i just have to live with it.

painting over it?

FYI, i tried doing the carbon fibre sticker (DIY) yesterday.. spend 5 hrs on it.. now my pillars, rubber frame along the windows plus the rear triangle windows r covered with CF.. not too difficult but workmanship not as pro lor.. the bubbles happen if air is trap in the sticker.. i onli have one small area got this.. later will try to remove the bubble =) im thinking of doing interior now.. but will change the CF to the glossy kind for interior.. cheers! =)

scorpey: you going to MU later? Would like to see your work

I also did a bit of CF here and there on my ride

ctoh

where n wat time is it? mine is opc lor

my work so so onli lah.. but i am quite satisfied as this is my first time doing this im not done yet.. still going to do side mirrors areas (this area challenging) and rear bumper area.. CF sticker running low too..
i never really been to MU but met some bros from collection of posions b4 =P

For the MU, pls see:
http://www.ceratoforte.forumotion.com/meetup-planning-polling-discussion-f24/10th-meet-up-29-jan-2010-t3107-300.htm#126244

It's today. About 8-9pm, Kallang MacDonald, then the whole gang convoying to Marina... it'll be fun

I also doing CF for the first time, never did anything on my previous ride, kana poison by this forum

I didn't do the side mirror, but I think you need a hair dryer to stretch the CF to make it stick nicely bec the surface is very curved

Let me know if you guys need some advise on DIY-ing, I can help give some suggestions

My 1K servicing is up. Any tips on a new owner to how to send for ur servicing?

if u can come early... no need to register but if u will be late... better register...

send in the car then leave ... no need to wait 3 hrs there... they will call u when ready...

note all ur scratches, take a pic as proof (whether u have or not)... just in case ur car have new designs when u collect.....

and go LK. PG service is becoming notorious.

I bought my CF in a little sticker shop in Changi Village - not cheap and only one design to choose

Scorpey's lobang is better: shop name is ISS, at Ubi Ave 3, Blk 3004, ground floor. CF comes in standard width: 120cm. This shop sells 1m length @ $50+ and according to Scorpey: they have quite a few designs to choose BUT they don't do installation

When u said LK is it the LK CnC service centre? Not the KIA showroom area one right? Now my meter reads 929KM. Tmrw I off day so not sure can send it now or wait till 1000KM.

Just changed my stock rims to Racing Hart 17" Matte Black. Will post some pics soon. Current damage is 680 with trade in. Did it at POH HENG today. Damn hot weather man...

My new set of 17" Racing Hart Matte Black.

looks like kenna scratch???

agreed with colin....

Actually the pic was taken right after installation. The 'SCRATCH' is the effect of the residue they put to place the rims in the wheels. I have checked and it looks fine. Also to note, any matte black surface will have that appearance on first inspection.

Oh... ya, it's like a lubricant thing to squeeze the tyre around the rims... NICE!

woohoo.. nice rims.. the project coming together one piece at a time... all the way bro!!

Here is the first step to my dream of a fully matt black car.



Will update again soon. Currently my 'mechanic' , JP WORKS, is busy.

bro you live in simei ?

No why u say so? Anyways I live at Yew Tee. Those who have seen my ride at simei mscp probably coz i park there and head off to work at Changi Airport. Well now that my parking at airport is approved, I will be parking there onwards.
