Hi AJ,

Surprised you havnt got your own thread up mate !?

Be nice to see your jimny and the stuff youve done, and going to do. This wrap idea sounds intriguing to say the least! I seen a piccy somewhere of someone who did this bonnet wrap, I will hav a look 4 it now.

But yeah..... sounds a great idea.

Been a bit busy so not had time to sort a thread out yet. Maybe start one next week.

We'll it looks like all systems are go on the retro design! I'll have to get it booked in to get done.

Do you mean like the attached picture? I had a similar idea for the grello when I though that was the colour I was getting. Didn't think about the black bonnet though. That would look ace!

On the theme of desert camo, I have had several friends say that its an ideal colour wrapping in a proper camo..... Not a fan myself.

I have designed a retro 70's style livery that I have had a quote of £200 for the work. Just though Id run it past the forum to see if it's a "wow that looks cool and retro" or "What are you doing you complete plonker". Either way It would be nice to get your opinions.

Love it!
The sand colour is really suited to retro liveries.
I particularly like these one >


I've this in mind for my green beastie:

Yes. That's what I am looking at doing. I love the blue/white classic combo but think it really only works on the Japanese home market cars without the arches. I have a few things I want to get done first, undersealing for one.... but will then look at more cosmetic treats!!!

This is the retro look that I really like, shame this colour is not available in UK

Mod of the day, matte screen protector for the infotainment system. The main reason for this was the dreadful finger prints and I have had a few glints from sun. While not a massive deal, just a minor annoyance. Very easy to fit. Anyone who would like one my advice is to fit from the bottom edge and work it up to the top edge. It has a handy slot in the top to allow the removal of the SD car required for the sat nav. After having it on for a day it has got no finger prints and no noticeable screen sensitivity difference. 9 out of 10. Would recommend.

You get 2 per pack which is worth noting!

Thats brilliant!

A simple, yet essential small mod.

Well spotted and thanks for sharing. Had no idea these were available.

No problem. I was surprised myself, I was going to make my own but it turns out they do make them after a quick Google! You can also get a toaster that burns a Suzuki logo into the bread. Is there anything you can't buy these days.
