JDM Y0 - My new project **** PG36 - Breaking ****

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - Land Rover 1 - JDM 0, PG6!!!!

On the quote, are the doing a skin or a full door??

If its a skin, it WILL rust within 12 months so make sure you get a complete door.

Great minds mate. Very rare to get a good panel beater doing them right these days.

Also the colour is a nightmare but you know what to look for once the n/s is painted.

O/s will be fine as all the panels will be painted.

Do me a favour Ben and have a look at the front and back bumper to the adjacent metal panels, Hondas and a lot of other manufacturers have a major problem with plastic and metals being different shades so you may think it's a bodyshop problem but best to check before hand.

What a shitter :dapprove: At least it will be sorted and it's not a write off!

Get that rear bumper fog sorted out whilst it's in

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

Rotten luck on the fender bender.

Aren't JDM's meant to have CF dash inserts? (Where the silver is.)

And +1 on removing that fog light !

 

[172Ben]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - Land Rover 1 - JDM 0, PG6!!!!

Will do gally

Rear fog is staying

He said "I'd rather thrown myself off a bridge than try and fix that door" LOL

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - Land Rover 1 - JDM 0, PG6!!!!

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - Land Rover 1 - JDM 0, PG6!!!!

I really fancy one of these, shame insurance is so ridiculous in comparison to its UK relatives/rivals.

What's going on with the spoiler Ben? Never noticed the black bit before.

 

[172Ben]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - Land Rover 1 - JDM 0, PG6!!!!

Its getting removed when i get it back, or ill ask the guy to do it while its in there. Just havent got round to doing it yet.

 

[Mr Burns]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - Land Rover 1 - JDM 0, PG6!!!!

Was talking to one of my mates today and he knows that bodyshop well. Infact, my mate is buying a DC2 from one of the guys there in the next couple of weeks.

 

[172Ben]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - Land Rover 1 - JDM 0, PG6!!!!

Could be the DC2 in the pic maybe?

 

[Mr Burns]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - Land Rover 1 - JDM 0, PG6!!!!

Yeah probably matey.

 

[172Ben]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - Land Rover 1 - JDM 0, PG6!!!!

Has he used the bodyshop itself before?

If it is that DC2 its nice!!

No mate, but him and many others around Stafford are big into their JDM stuff. It's getting popular to have something CW at the moment lol.
