NZ New paint job; porsche viola

Hey guys I've posted this in my regional forum a few weeks ago but I thought I'd throw it on here too.
let me know what you think =)

I was forced to fix my car up when some idiots attempted to steal my car failed then in frustration did some damage to it. I prepared and painted it my self in my garage/workshop =)


Time line of the car
two years ago:
installed exeedy button clutch & heavy duty pressure plate.
year and a half ago:
Veilside front and sides, all new spark leads plugs and coils and painted two toned the car with a Mercedes black roof.
3 weeks ago:
The full paint job with the porshe paint viola and then finally lowered.

You really can't tell, unless the sun directly hits it. Anyway, looks nice. Plus, you need a spoiler to finish it up.

nope no spoiler, I just dont really dig them on the 8 too much.

Looks like a pretty good job, now get an aggressive stance

I like that the color isn't too "in your face" this paint job cost me 500 nzd which is like 300 American, my cousin owns a paint shop so i get paint for cost. I will be getting mags when I can afford them which wont be anytime soon and I will never be getting a spoiler lol.
yeah brettus I'll flick you a text.

looks good, it's a nice color without being too loud.
The front bumper is aggressive in styling so I hope there are plans for some wheels in the near future to complete the look.

congrats on doing something original. (though it kind of reminds me of the Black Cherry Mica color. sort of.)

That's why I don't want to come for a drive. I can't afford to want a turbo!

Color looks really good. I've never seen a purple 8 before. I can't say I'm so keen on the fitment of that front bumper, though.

*Not being a hater* Maybe it's just the angle?

Looks great. If you don't get new wheels soon, maybe you could just go with some rear spacers.
