depends on a few things mate will you remove them and drop of or will i have to remove , refit and paint . do you want them so they are flatted and smothed ? or just painted as they are ? Matt
130 ish is about right for a bumper respray with slight damage . if any of you want anything doin ill do it alot cheaper tho and i dont do 2nd grade work .
yeh mate not got a job at the min so ive been doin paintwork for money etc . used to work in a bodyshop so know what am doin with it all . i did dave88's car have a look in the project thread it isnt too far from the top i dont think .
post em to meeee :D best bet is trying google and search for local places . its tnot always the cheapest job thats the best so have a look at there previous work or other cars that are in there yard .
i want diff alloys for it somethin smaller like turini's or pro race 1.2 but at the min i have no money comin in . so if any one wants any 17's ive got 2 sets at the min .
thats what am wantin to do to mine would be one of a kind and very light , shame that it costs more for me to insure the van tpft than it does a propper 172 fully comp .
. i was going to buy an engine from some one on here from willenhall but have lost contact details , so if you see this...
same as what cliosporthethsaid but give the paint a little polish afterwords or it will be scratchy then apply new badge . you can take them of with a blade which is what we used to do in bodyshop then use a caramel wheel to take the sticky backing of , but its easy to slip with the blade...
easy mate undo check strap and unplug wires from door kinds plugs into 1 pillar and then unbolt the hinges and lift of . and yeh it would mate there the same car just diff rear lights and wings bumpers thats all .
ive got one in the van it made a difference on roundabouts seemed to be a bitmore rigid when really pushed . but it could of been psycological with us expecting it to work and makinig us think it did .
if its the wrong colour then its the wrong colour, no amount of polishing will help you with that it could help it blend a bit better . only real way your gonna get it close is by having it sprayed again and even still you will be very very lucky if the match is bang on .
the nozzle sizes let more fluid flow out of the tip at once and use as nathan says . what kind of work you thinking of doin as that will effect what gun you will need . best to have a few really . have one for primer with a larger tip . approx a 1.3 for waterbased although most are fine . and...
could be and all depends on how capable you are . if you take the engine cover of and then look at the back of the engine just above the turbo there is like a largish pipe bolted to engine (egr valve )with a plug goin into the back of it unplug that and take it for a drive see if its still...
put maskin tape over the front of your light and turn your main beam on then remove the plug thats at the bag of the headlight were you change the bulb . dont disconnect the bulb tho . the maskin tape traps the heat from the bulbs and makes it evaporate out of the back of the light unit .
thats is the epansion tank . it has a bar or 2 or pressurised near boiling water in there . you can get severe burns from taking one of on a hot car . you would be ok on the oil cap but do not touch expansion tank untill at has cooled down alot
yeh they can make you a tin of cellulose based paint that you will have to use through a gun . or they can mix you a aerosol can of any colour you want .
