Nimbus Grey Pearl

Color of choice was Nimbus Grey Pearl off of a Audi TT, car used to be Tarmac Black roof was kept black but change to gloss black instead of TB. Everything was painted except for the engine bay, have some thoughts of getting carbon fiber air ducts and carbon fiber trunk. That will pretty much sum up the exterior don't want to add too much and take away the "CLEAN" look lol.

Things that got done to the car prior to paint

nose chop
filled all the holes on the front bumper including the license plate bracket
all dings and dents removed
jdm replica rear looks just like the real deal (no one had them in stock when I was looking for one, but hey I love it!)
jdm replica taillights
ebay muse replica trunk lip
re-cleared the spoiler & headlights
re-did the brake calipers same color as the car

Things that need to get installed

cross drilled & slotted rotors
oz ultraleggera wheels (black) 18"
windor visors


Here are the pics

In the process











Now





















Thanks for looking

Love the color. Looks like its time to retint it though. Purple tint looks bad and the longer you leave it on the harder it is to get off. Being that its purple I wouldn't mess with it and just have tint shop do it for you!
