Galliano Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Can't see there being a difference - you will have to have it adjusted to fit the hole in the bumper but you can have that done easily!Great progress so far Phil, inspiration right there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 if she needs adjusted i can run her to Powerflow in Ballymena againthanks Sam dude, much appreciated.been priming and sanding, priming and sanding for a day or two on 3 of my speedies (the 4th leaks air which i'm PRAYING is just the seal, so i'm gettin that checked over first before i paint it!). they'll get another sand here this evening and then maybe a coat of grey primer before the anthracite goes on! yeehaaaaaaaa!Phil.

Sparky Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Souds good mate My Speedy's are going under a colour change as we speak also Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 nice one dude!not gettin too obsessive over them, i.e. i'm not filling them with isopon or anything. they were lightly kerbed when i bought them. this filler primer has delt with most of the minor blemishes, but its not a professional refurb like the Rays got with metal welding etc. at the end of the day they are winter wheels. not really sure how well the paint will hold up with winter, they may need powder coated next summer to be fair. but time will tell.for now, 3 wheels have had 3 coats of filler primer and sanding, and they got grey primer thanks to mark tonight. tomorrow whilst im at work mark'll check how the grey has taken and touch up where/if necessary and then tomorrow night when i get home they'll get their first coat of plastikote metallic anthracite. really enjoying doing them up as a wee project, its good craic.Phil.

RobSR Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 hah! shows how much i know! i thought i was gettin a blitz item off chris. i'm such a loooooooooooooooooooooser lol!!!!here's a question for you all.......with it being off a Glanza, will she hang straight onto my UK n/a, or will we encounter hanger placement issues??Phil.the front hangers on the n/a are on the standard rear gearbox mount on a GT/Glanza they are on the chassis a but further back towards the rear, so you'll probs need that modifying... Backbox should fit fine though glad to see it progressing mate ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
