EJ Taylor 22 Posted October 23, 2014 So, as title, cage and mounts are now fully painted, must add my very good friend has done an amazing job on the paint, its like glass!!! Doing the front brace crinkle red to inkeep with the red and black theme then its just a case of sourcing and painting the one piece scuttle panel to cover the wiper mechanism, any recommendation on where to get one would be most appreciated!

I do love this car Proper smart Corrado, gets me back on track when I lose faith! thanks for the kind words, with the current to-do list longer than life itself i often feel like giving up but its the appreciation from yourselves that keeps me going! Hahaha very funny :lol: Cage looks fantastic! Personally wouldn't bother with the SWG item, I'm not impressed with mine. I remember you sayin this? what was it you were not happy with? as if its the colour i intend to paint mine, if its the fit and quality then i may reconsider!

Jamie 1 Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) I remember you sayin this? what was it you were not happy with? as if its the colour i intend to paint mine, if its the fit and quality then i may reconsider! Just the fit, finish and general quality isn't great. Don't get me wrong there's loads of people perfectly happy with theirs, I'm just really picky and even though I "only" paid £70 for mine, I just wasn't happy with what I got for my money (that's not a snipe at the seller btw). My advice would be try and have a look at one before you fork out - you might be perfectly happy with it and think I'm being a nob :lol: Edited October 27, 2014 by Jamie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie 1 Posted October 28, 2014 No that's the thing - there's not a lot of other options as far as I'm aware. Spoonfed do one but it's horrendous money and I've not seen one so can't comment on the quality, although his stuff is apparently top notch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poll250 0 Posted October 28, 2014 Nice- I work in Hanborough and have driven past it a few times last week on the way to my parents house (where the VRT is 'stored'). Have you used them for paintwork before? They've also got a real nice CSL style M3 in at the moment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EJ Taylor 22 Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) Ooo nice to know where you had your paint done EJ - & looking at maps its not a million miles away from me i think i may now know where i would like to trust to send my VR in due course ive been stung by body shops twice & dont want to be again :( Yer man its such a fustrating thing, about 2/3 years ago before i really knew rhys and his capabilities (the painter) i got the rado painted at a "Well respected" paint shop near me, and quite frankly by my standards its ****, it cost me 2k and they rushed it (AN ENTIRE RESPRAY) did it in 2 days, i kick myself every day as i did get a price from rhys but as he was 400 more and i had no word of his workmanship i went to this other place. seriously winds me up daily, not only is the paint **** its the wrong shade of black pearl, and the filler blistering he was suppose to sort it still there. also overspray in places and just generally loads of little bits only an owner would notice. but we live and learn hey, and one day in the future im hoping to have enough money to give my car to rhys and just say, make it perfect/ Edited October 30, 2014 by EJ Taylor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've hadn't really thought about using them for paintwork, but I've seen some really nice cars outside over the last couple of years, so maybe I should! It sure is local too... I thought about going to the local meets like DCO etc but since I got a 2nd car a couple of years ago the VRT has pretty much sat on my parents driveway looking pretty. It needs a bit of work doing to take the old alarm out as it causes random issues, but electrics are not my strong point! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
