Liam_D Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Awesome news about it going in the bodyshop dude, bet you cant wait to get it back. Just a idea mate about the roof, but have you considered getting it vinyl wrapped? in either carbon or black? Then you could just wrap over the holes and they wouldnt be noticeable. You may have considered it but i thought it was worth mentioning. Mint could do this for you if you was interested as they do vinyl wrapping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 yeh i suppose, or do them green lol,when you gettin your car back then dude?I'm coming round to the idea of a black roof more now actually..!*Fingers crossed* Friday Awesome news about it going in the bodyshop dude, bet you cant wait to get it back. Just a idea mate about the roof, but have you considered getting it vinyl wrapped? in either carbon or black? Then you could just wrap over the holes and they wouldnt be noticeable. You may have considered it but i thought it was worth mentioning. Mint could do this for you if you was interested as they do vinyl wrapping.Yeah can't wait x10 more like lolOoh thanks for the heads up, I'll ask them about it! I think by filling the holes myself, then smoothing it over Vinyl should still stick right? ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 *Update*- Got some grommets so the spoiler mounts will be gone soon!- Super bright LEDs from China and wiring for the Brake lights/Rear sidelights (and spoiler I guess) which will soon be lighting up JDM style - Custom green UK Starlet Club stickers & a load of other JDM decals Roll on Friday ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 wey hey get them stupid lil thing out the roof now then lmao,any news on that dent place?EDIT: what are you actually having done in the body shop then dude? just the bumper? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 About time eh, I've had them like that for nearly a year so kinda got used to them ;)No, no reply yet I'll probably ring them tomorrow and see what they say. I'll ask about a group discount as well..Nope, I wouldn't be getting that excited just over the bumper lol! There's also a Glanza Tailgate getting sprayed, it's on page 3 of this thread I think Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 ahhh rite, you gunna do the front end aswell or just back end?EDIT: just hada look and you havin the front bumper done aswell? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 I doubt it! The guy didn't know how much it was worth so I picked it up for the sake of it being so cheap! I've considered it but it depends on how much I could get a Bonnet & the Front bumper sprayed for before I go out and buy a bonnet and lightsNext I think the plans might just be a few things things to help me get a respectable figure on the rolling road Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 hmmm sounds like a good plan dude, i got my bonnet for 60 quids and when i get it repaired because the corners are bent and the scoop is broke i gta pay 260 for the bonnet and both wings to be done, so if you can get 1 in a tidy condition with no damage it'd be a fraction of that becuase they only have to prep it, or you could do that before you send it there and its cheaper again, and idrees is just breaking a glanza so you cud ask him for the headlights Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 Don't put these evil thoughts in my head, I'm low on cash! I'll see what happens..if I do decide to do it, it'll probably be next year sometime because I've gotta buy a Laptop and loads of other shizzle for Uni over the next few months ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 ahhh rite tidy, wa uni you off to?haha you know it makes sense. its not gunna get much more power than what its got now so it mite aswell look the part, not saying that your na doesnt but the glanza kit is a bit more of a head turning look lmao Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 Southampton, reading Medicine ;)LOL yeah I know what you're saying man the front would look a lot prettier as a V, we'll see, we'll see In terms of power, I'm not chasing massive figures like, just wanna get close to 100bhp. I've had some really good advice from a few members so it's got me motivated to see what my little N/A can do Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Fairplay mate its come along How much was the spraying if you dont mind me asking? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 Thanks It would've been £150, but turned out to be £180 because there was a bit of extra work required. I dunno if I'd recommend the guy though, he had quite a moan when he realised the state the panels were in lol..There's also two imperfections that I need to chase him up on! ryan_lang found a guy who sounds quite good, £260 for wings and a bonnet that requires quite a bit of work, so maybe it's worth checking that out?

Galliano Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Japanese cereal box Homer is awesome!Like the look of the LED's too! I'm running up quite a list of wants from your sodding build blog! Now, get out and get pics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
