glanza777 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 sorry for question but i cant remember that you took glanza front bumper?because i think glanza head lights dont fit to the n/a starlets hood and front bumper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 I have Glanza headlights and bonnet mate, I had the 98 Spec Glanza bumper too but sold it.. Watch this space on the new bumper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 I gave it her a coat of lacquer and look what happened, yes thats runs you can see on the pics!!I used 2K lacquer and its not hot enough in the garage so it didn't stick to the car Rubbed it all down now though, so its flat ready for a Yellow coat. Not gonna lacquer it - not needed because I'm using 2K Solid Gloss paint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 Look what I bought from a stand at JAE A little illegal I think! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 Another little update.A TGTT member delivered this to me, how nice Somebody advised me fit the body panels on the car because the colour won't match properly when complete, seen as though its Yellow. So I fitted and edged the doors, and got the wings edged ready for fitting. So when they're on, I can give the wing/door a coat of paint and then a final coat along with the rest of the car :cool:Doors on and half prepped:Repaired a bastard of a dent in the wing:Hung the wings on the wall to make life easier :angry:Then a nice lick of paint in the necessary areasI'm now happy with the car again Ps Petrol cap on too and painted on the inside :cool: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 Got the wings on so now the doors and wings are almost ready for the first coat of paint. Passenger side wants the delocking finished and a few little dents gone first though...I've just sprayed the inside and edges of the tailgate too, ready to fit...BeforeAfterI've nearly got all the runs out the paint and its almost flat again which is good! My arms are dead though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 I also gave the top outer side of the tailgate and inner sides of the spoiler one coat of paint. Gonna fit the spoiler on the tailgate and bang it on the car so I can spray it together. There will be a 101% colour match in every panel - just how it should be!Next day...Update..Got the spoiler fitted to the tailgate..And the tailgate to the car..Trial fitted the Glanza bumper:Heres the problem:Exhaust needs adjusting down. I've done it now but its only a temporary job the way I've done it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 Edged the rear bumper and partly fitted it..Exhaust adjusted.. Notice I've polished it too and it now has no burnt tip which I HATED!!New look bum almost there now!!And my new super lightweight transparent bonnet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 WOW :angry: :angry: That really is coming along and is looking amazing mateLoving it...cant wait to see it done!!! :angry:Hope the spraying comes out OK for you :angry: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 Cheers matey, appreciated Noticed my back bumper has a crease on the passenger side too and its gonna be a pain to fix! It will get done today though hopefully Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 Cheers Front bumper? I was trying to keep it a little secret but here goes..I'm saving for a Varis :angry:Should look cool in Yellow with Black mesh and some DIY smoked foglights :angry:Its expensive though so I need to scrape all my pennies together!BUT I'm trying not to get my hopes too high because I could change my mind and go for something cheaper.. I hope not though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
