New OA Update-AA Murc Barchetta

Heres a Murc with a few mods (I know its a stretch calling this a custom). The front and back now have yellow grill inserts to match the paint. Also I switched the entire chassis with a coupe model to get those wheels. Click the sig and go to the gallery to see the other 6 pics.

Not much but sometimes that will do it. Nice job.

Did the windows come like that or did you tint them?

Check out the tutorial: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul....php?do=bbcode The explanation is just over halfway down.

The windows and windshield came this way stock Hobbes. They're way darker than the Coupes.

Re: New OA Update-AA Murc Barchetta

Is it hard to just swap the wheels or you just wanted to get it done quick? which either way is fine by me just wanted to know.

The Coupe does have the Barchetta rims on it and also the pieces of grille that are missing from the Barchetta. I'll be getting pics of that (and alot more) once I get my new camera correctly adjusted to the photo backdrop.

I assume the swapping the wheels (as opposed to just the chassis) is more difficult but I've never actually switch wheels on AA cars.
