first photos after the respray

[Ross_C]

So i had my RB 182 resprayed, kept the original color just wanted it looking new again. I also had the wheels done and the front grills top and bottom as well as the badges. I did also have the front smooth, i no this wont be to everybody's taste
Please ignore the exhaust it was having a little work done to it.
also sorry about a couple of poor photos not had time to get any proper pics yet.

 

[pupster92]

i like the smoothed front looks really good

 

[TonkaTruck]

Looks nice and fresh

...but the wonky RS badge would drive me nuts.

Also make sure you get some front bumper, black inserts to finish it off.

 

[welshname]

Looks like a decent job. Please get silver diamonds on the wheels though. Nothing annoys me more than when people don't bother removing the diamonds to paint wheels.

 

[ekaJ]

Wowsers, looks crazy clean!

 

[Stefan.]

i cant help but look at your car and think shame its let down by your choice in mods

 

[Bluebeard]

Very nice!!

If it was mine, i'd fit some 10mm spacers all round, black bumper stickers, do what you're doing to the exhaust straighten up that RS badge and they you sir would have a bloody lovely car!

Fresh paint is the best thing ever. Its just heart breaking every time you clean it though and notice swirls/chips etc.

which black inserts are you on about pal?
and i no i fucked the badge up haa need to give it another go

 

[Coops Mk1]

very tidy, makes me want to hit mine with a pretty hammer

 

[Barnett]

Should've sprayed the boot release button while you were there in my opinion. Looks great though! If you refurbed the headlights it'd look brand new!

also just got my carbon bullets so i can get rid of the s**t silver and yellow ones

 

[Bluebeard]

Bumper stickers go here (Matt black textured standard ones, not these horrible things)

which mods do you think let it down?

if it was mine bud, i would do the following

*remove the 'nose ring'
*needs chrome diamonds by that i mean front diamond on front bumper and on all 4 wheels
*the exhaust needs sorting/changing tbf you have pointed this out
*fresh clean plates i,e no borders or pressed plates
*having the front reg in the windscreen is naff, wouldn't of smoothed the front bumper. no need imo
*bullets in rb with white/anthracite decal the yellow ties in with nothing

by no means am i trying to rip into you just what i would do

 

[VIICarCare]

looks good but the headlights/spots look hazed to feck. Get them polished up!

no no its fine, i put this up to see what people would think.
well the exhaust is now sorted, the bullets have gone and i now have carbon ones in there place. the diamonds on the wheels got done when he did my wheels unfortunately i didnt think to tell him to not do them but i guess i can pick up some nice and easy to change them out.
i work out of the country on oil rigs and these photos was took about 1 month ago but iv only just got home to put them on ha
but cheers its nice to no what people think and it helps me look at it in a diff way. but IMO i think ill keep the smoothed bumper i think it looks cleaner than the standard one, everything else i kinda agree with and see what your saying

All of this plus a splitter and a headlight refurb. I'd sort the number plate sharpish too i got a £60 fine once for having mine in the window like that.

headlights have just been done after seeing a "3M headlight kits" thread on here last week

 

[Adam.]

Put it in a carcoon and leave it. <3

 

[CrippsCorner]

Looks fantastic... do you know the only thing that annoys me I'm a real weirdo about this, but the fact that your numberplate has the old RS logo and the badge is the new one! Font madness.

I think he is just letting the paint set before he re-attaches his splitter

 

[jesus]

[3i_gaz]

Car looks cracking mate. Bit low at the rear but yeah it looks lovely mate!!

To be honest I think he has got it spot on.
Perfect height combined with gloss black grilles and stealth appearance. Congrats!
