Guest Recian Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I came up with an idea and managed to win a reatta promo on ebay last week. An unopened display model of corse not a mint unopened one. I painted the car to match what i want mine to look like. Here's how it turned outBefore:After: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Recian Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 yeah i did mine by hand so the trim moldings and rubber (painted semi gloss black) arent perfectly straight as you can see in one of the pics but the dark grey on blue looks really good. The blue was a perfect match and the grey is a little darker but still looks good. I found out you have to cut the plastic to get the glass out. I broke my winshield finding that out. I may buy another one down the road and redo the body with a good winshield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mc_Reatta Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Just like in the real world, the cost for a windshield is the same as the price of the whole car! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
