Louvred up

After not having much success with the bead roller I went to go see http://www.coollouvres.com/ today, here are the results, I'm really happy with these:

They are very nice!

Is it an optical illision or are they pressed down rather than up?

Nice Louvres

They look really good Patrick, I would like to get some added to my Cabrio at some stage so good to know somewhere that can do it.

Do you mind me asking what they charged you. Did they do it while you waited and any reason for pressing them down rather than up as per the engine side panels supplied by Marlin.

cheers

They cost 180 to have done, I had a while you wait appointment but as I was only 25mins drive away I came back to carry on prepping the panels for paint. It took him 2.5hrs to do. Price is something like 5 for the the first 10 then 2 each from them on. Price are on the website coollouvre site.

Down instead of up was purely for cosmetic reasons, I don't like the sticky up ones as much as I think it takes away from the lines of the car. Plus it's a bit different to the norm :)
