My EK CXi

Yeh I thought considering these are replicas it's not really worth it. I'll do it when I save up for OEMs

Thanks Ryan. Nothing compared to your build!

I've got some OEM EK9 tail lights coming so I'm excited too. Still haven't told me how much you paid for the Euro-R wheel?

Cheers. Well they're meant to be coded NH-592P from Autobarn's paint mixer but I believe they have chosen a wrong variation of that. Apparently there's over 50 types of NH-592P on their system and they just took a shot at one of it according to the car model and year.

Then I had to do it in the cold weather so it wasn't exactly in a primed condition LOL.

Oh well still better than what it was originally

autobarn did a good job for my making some cypress green touch up paint, but for stuff to paint panels I always go back to my panel guy for the euro paints

shouldnt of buy the reps then.. u could of saved 1 week more and got genuines..

MikeyG if I were to buy genuine then I'd wouldn't paint it myself and would cost another... $500+/- to get them done professionally?

That being said, I'm still spending a fair bit on some other OEM stuff so who knows. I might rip it off and get some real deals.

fair enough all i was trying to say was instead of buying rep waste of money I believe casue i have reps and i shouldnt of bought them should of saved for genuines but its you car and your choice and it does look nice
