Bee*R – Call of Duty

My friends from MDS called me bit over month a go to help out. They had a car show coming up in Easter and they didn’t have cars for the stand. So I stepped up the cry – 5 mins after closing the phone I realised I couldn’t take “the same car” in the show 2 years in a row. It needed a new look, something different. Right – the game was on.

New wheels, sourced as second hand. Bargain deal, but they still needed some new twist to stand out. I wanted semi-vip style and rat-look at the same time. Let’s call it Rat-Vip ;)





The new "pots" are 9,5x19 and 10x19 Work Euroline DH’s. Front ET is 0, rear ET -6. The rims were quite new, made in last year. Still wanted to give them a something, so a new paint to match the cars exterior and new ruff styled rim screws or spikes if you will. Now they look mean but classy.


Front lip is 3,5” and Rear lip 4,75” – Nice dish. Team Falken helped out with FK452 tires in 265/30/19 all around.


The new setup needed graphics as well, so I had few late nighters behind the Mac again. I wanted the car to be mean and brutal looking, so I ended up in a urban war theme – Full Metal Jacket.


Attack of the Killer Bee*R


RB26DETT – the weapon of choice


B324R = Urban Assault Weapon, the greatest street terror machine of all time :D


I had 8 other project cars to finish to the show, so my car was the last of them. HC Graphics aka Henri (me) & Casper did it again – totally different look. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but do I really give a shit? Nope.

Hifi update!
Alpine sorted me out with the latsest IVA-D106R media player/head unit, cheers to the new even better tunes!

Ooh, and peep out some pics from the show by Juhis: American Car Show / Tuning Car Show 2009

Thanks for the help again boys!

Bee*R gets full Zaino treatment

After removing the vinyl graphics from last seasons theme, it was time to give the exterior it’s shine back.

First I removed the graphics… 5 hours later it was ready for good wash with strong car shampoo to remove all that sticky dirt. Zaino Clay Bar (Z-18) is excellent for the asphalt tar stains.



After that we started with Zaino (Z-PC) Fusion Dual Action Paint Cleaner & Swirl Remover. This stage was done by machine.



Masked for machine polishing.

Next stage was done by hand, the Zaino (Z-AIO) ALL-IN-ONE cleaner polisher. It’s really easy to apply and remove.
Then we started the polishing stage. The Zaino (Z-2) PRO Show Car Polish for Clear Coated Car Finish was chosen. Three coats of Z-2 with ZFX Flash Cure Accelerator Additive witch accelerate the drying process.




We alsso sealed each layer of the Z-2 to build as strong and deep shine as possible. The Zaino (Z-6) Ultra Clear Gloss Enhancer Spray and Zaino (Z-8) Grand Finale Spray Seal were used.
To top of the cake the Zaino (Z-CS) Clear Seal was applied, it’s easy to use. Just spray a thin mist on the surface, no wipe. It drys of leaving beautiful shine.



The 11 stage Zaino polishing session was done. It took a bit of time but it was well worht it.

Thanks to Pade, Santtu & Teme for the help.
