Ah, the old SPOT. First off how would one go about recreating this look? Its cool. Its like marble in plastic. Its the stress marks in a Mk3 Orion bumper. But I love the look. E28 on serious rimz chap on a Vespa Teledials one a 924? Whateer next? S-Coupe? Potential? Its clean enough huh? Previously spotted but better photos this time of the Prowler Leg-End, sadly not a coupe Somehow it made me smile to see these two parked together at B&Q cruiser bike thing Mk1 Passat is the nads. See this around a fair bit. I think I have put a really shonky spot of it up before, these are still shonky but far better. Type 2 and caravan, both been spotted before but not together Not just a Mk2 Astra but a Mk2 Astra "Starmist". That special edition was named after Vauxhall's first "Magic Mirror" Acrylic paint in the 1960s called Sebring Starmist. IE Silver. Very tidy black E30 Mk4 Cab Mazdas cannot be killed by abuse. V4 or 2 stroke? I'm no Saab expert. Ran well though. Mk2 Orion with red nose still on it form not sure which year Low shot of not low vehicle "BELL BOOOOOOOOOOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

That Passat is well nice! Is that an Aphex Twin sticker on your windscreen?

orion bumper - I'm guessing he just poured paint on it straight from the tin (ie no mixing). when ive undone tins of paint that have 'been there a while', the top level of paint looks a bit like thAT. WHERE THese in notts then?

The marks in the Orion bumper are just the swirls in the pigment from when the plastic was injected during the manufacturing process. A bit of back to black temporarily banishes them. Buy a Ford with coloured bumpers - they all go like that pre-1995 or so ;D

Cool spots! Certainly looks like an Aphex Twin sticker to me (well, AFX if we're going to be pedantic! )

WHERE THese in notts then? The porker and the micra look like B&Q Sutton (although they all look fairly generic....), and the first BMW is just up the road from Sainsburys in Maansfield, just by the speed camera.

Yup, at humourously name Boneham & Turner precision Engineers (shortly to become another huge Aldi FFS) is the site of the e28 spot.
The B&Q is the Dunkirk one if that matters - they are all the same.
The sticker is apparently Aphex Twin, I did ask on here what it was when I bought the car.
The Gold prowler is apparently a last-year-they-made-them-only colour althought the pimpin' gold mudlfaps will be an owner addition.
The effect on the orion bumper is ace, Dave it in the plastic, they aren;t painted.
