I've had my current P38 for about 6 years, and the paint has always needed some attention. Peeling lacquer on the bonnet and roof, corrosion etc. In that time, the car has had one or two other 'minor' modifications under the bonnet and inside :) So I thought it was time the outside had a freshen up...

Before:

After...

I'm just missing the iron on the bonnet...

Paint is thinned Upol raptor in LR AA yellow. Side steps and light guards are neat black raptor. Doors, tailgate and rear bonded windows all came out to paint anywhere you would see silver day to day.

The Monaco seat went in primarily because my drivers seat, like most at this point, was heavily worn and the cushion was flat on the door side. I'd recently sat in one of these Monaco's in a friends Defender and actually - they're really comfy. Great for offroading too - loads of support as you'd expect.

It's on the original electric memory seat base - so I have power forwards/back and height adjustment. And memories!

Monaco seat. Bright yellow with black trim. I assume it now has an LS3 under the ‘hood’ as well?

Afraid not, but it does have a BMW M57 3 litre common rail diesel instead :)

Sloth, just wondering whether you had to do the front and rear bumpers, and if so did you use the neat Black Raptor paint on them as well ?
