rsgntx 0 Posted May 13, 2011 Paint shop has had a couple of delays but the car gets first base coat tomorrow! took a few pics with my phone but only one turned out to be in focus! Hate seeing my wheels all covered in dust :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4eyes2wheels 0 Posted May 13, 2011 I wish I had the cash to get mine completely resprayed but it would then be heart breaking when the first scratch, scuff, dent, bird crap appeared. Can't wait for the high res pics of the finished article. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rsgntx 0 Posted May 14, 2011 Car being masked up first thing this morning!! Wetting the panels shows off how clean Alan's got it looking! B) Rolled arches look good and will be a big help! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted May 14, 2011 Looks very good mate. I'll be interested to know how you get on and, if you don't mind me asking, get some ideas on prices. My VR needs some TLC on the paint and whilst I've no doubting his abilities, getting paint done at Greg Howell's was reeeeallly expensive... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSV 0 Posted May 14, 2011 Rob as well as rolling them try to get them pulled a few mm too whilst keeping the factory line, they are inboard of vertical as standard so you can pull beyound the vertical for a mild flare. Very OE looking but better scope for wheel clearance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My VR needs some TLC on the paint and whilst I've no doubting his abilities, getting paint done at Greg Howell's was reeeeallly expensive... Jim when its finished we can meet up and you can take a close look... Rob as well as rolling them try to get them pulled a few mm too whilst keeping the factory line, they are inboard of vertical as standard so you can pull beyound the vertical for a mild flare. Very OE looking but better scope for wheel clearance. Gareth think we moved them slightly but hard to tell.. paints going on now so they are where they are! mind i am running 9.5" on the back and was only having issues with the lip. Now the lip is pressed back the edge that your talking about could be my next problem. I have been playing with the idea of moving to 17's and had my eye on some very nice BBS RC's 17x8 but will see what happens! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Abdul 0 Posted May 17, 2011 Oh yes, looking nice fella! Should've gotten rid of the side markers imo while you were at it but whatever lol. It does look awesome I must say, finish seems good too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great idea.. except that will result in an MOT failure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Abdul 0 Posted May 17, 2011 Great idea.. except that will result in an MOT failure. Oh please, anyone who mods their car knows a friendly mot tester. If not, stick some on for the day. That's what all of my mates do. If you really want to be technical the indicator's built into the headlight lenses are probably a fail too as i doubt you'd see them *clearly* at night when the headlights are on.

Sssshhhh! Keep that one quiet! The reason i left them is simple! not everyone likes the car modified and from a value point of view (not that i want to sell this car) i can take this car back to standard! Even have the original bumper and lights mind will need a respray! Thanks for the comments! Really pleased looking forward to seeing it all back together with final polishing done! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
