  • Vic's R56 Conversion

    I've had this R56 since November 2007. It started out as a lightly optioned Chili Red w/ a black roof. I've since used it as a guinea pig for learning to work with vinyl. I've also replaced quite a few accent pieces with the simpler, cleaner base model pieces to help clean up the look of the car.

    Here's where it stands today, then I'll start at the beginning and work my way through the project. It's still a work in progress.


    More shots can be found here, but I'll eventually host them as I have more time to add to the thread

    Here it was the day I brought it home. (please excuse the photography for the first few pics, I only really got into photography in the last year)

        Painted the headlights black and had the chrome accents wrapped in gloss black vinyl.

                Thanks!

                This is where I stopped before deciding to try out a little more involved vinyl work. It looked like this for probably about a year.

                  Then I dabbled with anthracite accents
