Look what I've done!

[Dave..]

Finally, I've removed all of the body kit!!! Burnt both thumbs in the process, but it's done, and it looks so much better for it

starting to come off...

First time I've seen my cars bumper:approve:

Custom plates supplied by Addz

So pleased, now all i have to do is get it sprayed

 

[Fletcher]

Much, much better :approve:

 

[Aluco]

It actually looks 10000% better even with adhesive and no paint on it !

Will look great when its sprayed.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Even with all the adhesive still on it, it looks so much better!

 

[Jamie _Swales]

how much has this project cost you in total?

I quite liked the kit though

 

[Ian]

Yeah looks immeasurably better.. good work!

 

[Addz]

starting to get there at last shame because i liked the kit but will look good as a standard car too cos i love the baked bean colour!

glad your happy with the plates too, i havnt been pulled for my tiny one yet!

 

[Ash87]

i thought the front add on looked alright, sides look much better tho.

 

[Dave..]

Thanks for the comments, as for the cost of all this, I've lost count... I think it's somewhere around £8,500.

 

[Addz]

As i say with my car does money really matter if you enjoy the car?

oh yeah and get some WD40 on the sticky bits... should help fetch the crap off!

 

[maz172cup]

standard is better - but the kit wasnt bad like it needed coming off & i hate kits

Thanks mate, took it for a spin on my private road afterwards, just to remind myself why I'm going through all this... massive smile on my face.

 

[Addz]

Cheers, could use a hand cleaning all the adhesive up, not sure whether to wet sand it or not. Saves the body shop having to remove it. I'll give you a call when i start to atempt it

 

[YorkshireDaz]

Looks much better! :approve:

 

[Pettsi]

Much better!

 

[Hoppy]

as said it looks a lot better.
remove the adhesive and add a splitter and itll look awesome.

Looking forward to FINALLY seeing the beanster at a meet!

[Addz]

[matty J]

[Dave..]

[Brasseye]

better better better

 

[VeinAST]

Smashing!! Will look good for deffo once it's been resprayed!

 

[Pep]

If you want to travel a bit for a bodyshop mate, Advanced Autobody, Sandown Road (off Ascot Drive) in Derby.

Really, really good place, do loads of stars cars like all of Paul Daniels Astons etc, very proffesional too.
Plus in the week they work 24hrs, so won;t take too long.

Looks miles better too, good work.

 

[Dave..]

thanks for that, I'll have to ask for a quote. You coming to the uttoxeter meet on sunday?

 

[Pep]

Yeah if I remember mate I'll come for a drive.

They aren't cheap, but at the same time they aren't rip-off prices, and the quality of work is second to none in my opinion.

 

[Marky_]

:approve:

Yay for Dave!

 

[wiley]

can the glue be cleaned up??? or does it need to be repaired??
wiley

 

[The Boosh!]

bout time matey!!!

This car has turned out to be quiet a nightmare Eh? lol

 

[Dave..]

the car is a nightmare, but puts a smile on my face. so worth it in the end. funds are the only thing annoying about it really, I'm quite happy to put the work in if i get the car i want at the end of it

 

[Dave..]

can the glue be cleaned up??? or does it need to be repaired??
wiley

the glue can be cleaned up, but it will need spraying anyway, as the paint underneath isn't in a good state

 

[The Boosh!]

new avatar picture is in order dude

 

[Tigger]

Much neater for you colour
The kit isn't bad but looks best on a darker colour as its a bit more "subtle" that way IMO

 

[martandem]

Definite improvement! Shame its hurt the bodywork so much?!... Will look awesome when sprayed... number plate is pretty cool too!

 

[C.J]

Defo an improvement!
