Wheels or paint???

    @1d382c81f5=Marco:

    Arches are one piece of metal into the rear 1/4 panel. You would have to cut out, get new metal welded in, grind down, sand, smooth etc. Ask James, his look amazing.

    KLZEs have been known to eat less petrol than the 1.8 k8 if you're not lead footed.

    Springs £90 up I think.

    Don't cut springs! It's just not worth the danger.

    thanks marco,
    i really want to give the klze a go,this things doing my head in,like 10 quid every time i go the shop,picked babby up from momes 5 mile,dropped him school and back,close on quarter a tank lol,un real,i use to put 5notes in 2.0 turbos and get more for my petty.

    @6e15e9fb0a=Rod:

    I am getting some paintwork done too - got to get rid of the pink bits.
    Both bumpers, spoiler, both door mirrors and tidy up a few chip marks on the front all for £120 including all paint.
    After that the only blemish will be a small trolley ding on the o/s rear panel but to be honest you have to really search for it to see it.
    Will be getting rear window slightly tinted and that will be it for the outside - don't believe in modding too much like to stay original.
    Will do pics when done (next Mon/Tues) and I have had chance to do a bit of detailing work.

    Oh yes! And I will put the uk-mx3 stickers on!!

    mate,
    is that mates rates?not being funny but all your car will need to get it red again is mopping,if its not mates rates they may be just mopping it up for you.

    if they are painting,why they not offered to just fill the ding in?if they paint it,it will be a waste as they will charge you to paint it again to do the ding,i take it its not a mate as he would of offered to sort the ding with out a doubt as its pointless painting and not removing them.

    think you should ask him to remove the ding,specialy if his painting where the ding is or his going to charge you next time.

    ^^^

    is that a joke?

    if not I'm sorry for the above, mopping is the polishing/buffing process that brings the paint to its finest, using a 'polishing mop' which looks like a 9" grinder, and various grades of cutting pastes G1-G10. makes cloudy pink paint turn into deep shiny red

    I dont think he was asking what mopping was, just what was going to be mopped.

    No mopping.
    Rear bumper scraped on n/s corner.
    Front bumper some paint flaking due to chips.
    Spoiler has at some time been over T-cut and undercoat showing through.
    All got to be sprayed I think…..

    rod mate,
    save a few more quid up and get a paint job and all the stuff done.
    my car also has the scrapes on the bumpers,to deep to mop out so they have to be painted.

    some one tryed robbing my car the weekend,i will be putting post up in a min for security stuff.

    so i got quoted off my mate and we have agreed,its a bit more then i expected but he is doing more work then last car,remember his also prepping which is the hardest.

    250 i get inside both doors painted,both bumpers.both sides of car.
    how many coats of laquor you recon i should ask for lads?
    thanks
