If the body shop has a scheme like the one where i work it should not be to much trouble, and only thing that can go wrong is that some car companys produce several different shades of the same colour and to the untrained eye may look the same.

I can answer the paint side of things but dont know a great deal about newer clios.The body shop will have no extra trouble sourcing the correct paint colour as every colour you could think of are all stored on computers with the formulation to that colour.

I have tried to explain the affects of so much power in a fwd car but to no avail, its like trying to explain the off side rule.

Nice work looks good, i wish my williams looked this good under the bonnet.

I hate vauxhalls theyre poo, my missus works there and all i ever hear is how good the vxr's are and i should test drive a vxr astra. I would rather stick a fork in my eye.

What sort of power are these cars producing and how wide is the power band?

I would rather stick a fork in my eye than hand over my hard earned cash to those monkeys.I had a super quick 5 and payed them a lot of money to build me an engine which went bang big time.I told the guys that there was a problem with it pinking they assured me it was not and one month later a...

How could you use a plastic welder on carbon fibre? I think resin and mat work a little better.

It is better to have a scheme in your body shop as you dont have to phone up for tinters all the time and you rarley get the shade wrong as you mix it your self.There maybe one code for the colour but most of the time there will be a few shades of that code some times up to seven or more

I would not get out of bed for less £900. H.s high solids its better for the enviorment but poo to paint and polish and also does not give a great shine. M.S Medium solids, great to paint flows out real nice and polishs up to a glass finish.

Are you doing the shuts?

If i were about to pay someone for a re paint i would like to know what products they use .As some of the stuff (palinal,max mayer etc) is poo.I would always use a decent clear as that is the most important part shine wise, if you look in the clear you have at work i bet its yellow as you like...

A lot of monkeys i have seen in the trade have done stuff like that usally with satin black, looks pony.

Why does it matter how bad the damage is, if the repair is finished properley it does not matter what primer you use.I have not used celly for years because its s**t,as for clear have you ever seen a car a year later that has been painted with s**t clear?

Unless you paint the engine bay and the shuts a colour change looks pony.

I would not ask what dry products you use because they dont matter, primer,base clear.

Sounds cheap, ask what products he uses.

How can you afford to paint a car for two hundred quid, is that including paint?

Never really done a great deal of insurance work as its all about bouns and no one can be bothered to pump out a decent product.If you had a decent reputation you would never think of wrecking it if you painted some ones car and gave it back with a dent in it they would not be happy even if they...

I have a Williams and the previous owner put a poo cone filter on, i need an original air box with the view to mod it myself.

This mask and paint thing sounds weird, I have been painting all my life and have never heard of such a thing.How could you expect a non pro to do some decent prep, i would never paint something that had not been preped by myself or another pro.

Re: Power gain from these mods. I cant see these mods doing alot apart from make a lot of noise.The most important part of the exhaust is the first twenty inches or so, so with out changing this gains will with be minimal.Its all to do with the flow out of the mainfold being turbulent.

I dont know if any of you have looked under the bonnet of a touring car or WRC car but none of them use "induction kits" for the simple reason they are poo, that nice warm air being sucked in to your inlet tract is never good.The way forward is a ram air box with a decent heat sheild.

Hello just joined this forum,I own a williams and am interested in this meeting you have arranged in london.
