£500 for the whole thing to be resprayed?

d4ve86 · Apr 23, 2005

what.......... its not a full respray, my car was that color from the factory! just got the mouldings, spoiler, bumper fixed and sprayed, all fitted.

stusV6 · Apr 23, 2005

d4ve86 · Apr 23, 2005

lol joker! no need to ware them, was only quickly taking pics!

Jonaldinho · Apr 23, 2005

Looks mint matey, shame about the skirts being fitted wrongly.

Dan Page · Apr 24, 2005

looks mint, really like it. cant see it being a problem, if the body shop f**ked up they should sort it.

d4ve86 · Apr 24, 2005

just noticed today the body shop sprayed the whole of the 172 bumper, including the black strip bit, cant wait for that to start flaking off!

Has · Apr 24, 2005

the skirts can be fitted both ways tbh

It does say on the fittign isntructions you have a choice,

I wouldnt bother having them taken on off and put back on, it will simply weaken them and possibly be a pain to take off.

The do get out of shape quite easily so by disturbing them you may make the laible to bend easily in the future nomatter of bonding to car

BRUN · Apr 24, 2005

what colour is that ?

never seen one that colour before........is it your camera or is it a very dark green colour ?

d4ve86 · Apr 24, 2005

Has i no what you mean, they look ok with the upswept bet goes well into the rear arch but at the front they are not fitted to well. there not level they slop downwards. ill see what they say tomorrow.

Its nordic green, dark green in dark light and when wet changed in the sun light!!

Type_Mo · Apr 24, 2005

Thats sweet m8! A very nice example of a mk2!

d4ve86 · Apr 28, 2005
