point is why metal in the first place when you have a lighter option.

getting aftermarket suspension(?) would do the trick, not a Metal kit.

matt finish surely will rock till the issues with the cleaning arise. on the other hand did somebody mention the black matt plastic films that stick over the paint??? please pardon me for not knowing the exact name of it.

i mean u cud cover ur beauty with that. since its plastic no issues with cleaning (it cud be more roughly used while cleaning & even if there are ny scratches you can simply peel off that area's sticker & put a new one.

but if you do that...it wont look whole...as in you get roles of matt black stickering and 1 sheet is not wide enough for the whole car...so u will probably have to have like 2 lines of a diff stickering running along...

naveendhyani · 9th October 2006, 20:37

i wont know that but i have seen the top of the car covered in a single sheet, also the bonnet covered by a single sheet.

For heavens sake leave it the colour you bought it in. Matt black looks horrible. IMHO.

Metal in place of the lighter option... ..........since its 60 thousand cheaper for me......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Getting the body kit done for 10K..!! The fibre one from RIO cost 70K...!

Dude when i said i dont like it ... light... it wasnt the literal meaning..!

saw the car today looks good in the sample black for sure. also liked the normal black too. i think overall it should come out very nice with the matte black for sure. front bumper in metal is close to 5kgs only.
