loguey Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 £120 per wheel!!! Id like to think theyll put real gold flake in the paint for that price! Going rate is 50-60 quid per wheel, im doing some on the side for 35 per wheel! Nice SR tho bud, i wanted a black one originally but a silver once come up right time at the right price.

Flynn Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 It was never gonna be more than a cheap run round until i could get a reasonable quote on a Glanza but joining the forum sort of changed that! The paint is a real let down and it's got some surface rust but that will be addressed at some point! Thanks for the comments....been spending all my free time working on it for Japfest, girlfriends not talking to me and ill be honest I'm a little sick of the sight of it lol ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flynn Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 Ok so i've been super slack with updating this so i'm gonna smash a bit out now......After working on the car into the small hours and rain the nite before Japfest i desided the best plan considering we were booked on the 4 am ferry was to not bother sleeping but set 2 alarms just incase....anyways i must have "rested my eyes" at some point because i woke to the sound of my mobile ringing, sitting on the sofa holding an alarm clock in each hand, both turned off! It was 4.02 am Next ferry wasn't until 6 so i picked my mate up and we made the trip up in pretty good time, gutted that i missed the convoy but there were still plenty of cool cars heading up and didn't que for long on the way in!Bit of a weird day because of the mental start so i didn't really end up taking many pictures or get to talk to many forum members plus the dude i travelled up with had his leg in plaster, all credit to him but we had limited mobility to say the least!Starlet photos....http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/Joeflynns/media/DSCF2831_zpsacf6473b.jpg.html'>http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/Joeflynns/media/DSCF2832_zps5178af68.jpg.html'>http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/Joeflynns/media/DSCF2833_zps8117e930.jpg.html'>http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/Joeflynns/media/DSCF2837_zps0141af0a.jpg.html'>http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/Joeflynns/media/DSCF2839_zpsada4f870.jpg.html'>http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/Joeflynns/media/DSCF2840_zpsb412e93a.jpg.html'>http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/Joeflynns/media/DSCF2842_zps212d3e01.jpg.html'>http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/Joeflynns/media/DSCF2876_zps311f81a8.jpg.html'>I fell in love with this thing.....if i hadn't already invested so much in ep91's i'd be on the hunt for one of these!http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/Joeflynns/media/DSCF2843_zps9758ca96.jpg.html'>http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/Joeflynns/media/DSCF2844_zpscae2387d.jpg.html'>http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/Joeflynns/media/DSCF2845_zps4ce001c5.jpg.html'> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
