PMCBEAVER81 Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) Bought this car about a year ago as a run about until I got my skyline fixed and absolutely love it!Mechanically sound but bodywork was in bad shape so I carbon wrapped the bonnet and got the car plastidipped in satin black with a gold flake through it. I know it's not to everybody's taste but I wasn't for spending a fortune on it and I think it turned out ok Edited May 12, 2015 by PMCBEAVER81 Quote
bdohohh Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 It's different, I like it! I'm sure I've seen this somewhere but no idea where... I'm sure there's not many like it so it must have been you! Looking forward to updates Beth Quote
PMCBEAVER81 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Posted May 12, 2015 I'm near sure I passed you one day last year going into Belfast? Can't be many like yours about Northern Ireland. Nice note of yours if I mind right?cheers for the comment! Quote
bdohohh Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) it must have been, I worked at the royal last summer and I'm a uni in Queens so I'm there every day pretty much. Last year I would have had the HKS on it which sounded sweet and was mental loud :L I've deffo got a glimpse of yours before somewhere so it must have been there! Edited May 12, 2015 by bdohohh Quote
adzy Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 I like it! Looks mean! Will have to keep an eye out for you round belfast Quote
PMCBEAVER81 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Posted May 12, 2015 Hopefully that's a good thing GlanzaJim? lol Quote
PMCBEAVER81 Posted May 13, 2015 Author Posted May 13, 2015 Cheers Rich-k!Have ordered a tint for the headlights so hopefully it'll be here this week. Keep it nice and dark! Lol Quote
MARC MOSS Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 So what's the deal with painting a while car? Is the plastidip quite tough? Quote
PMCBEAVER81 Posted May 14, 2015 Author Posted May 14, 2015 Yeah it's definitely tough enough. You can powerwash it!Doesn't matter what colour your car is mate. You pick whatever colour you want. Pick if you want it matt, satin or glossy and away you go. Quote
PMCBEAVER81 Posted May 23, 2015 Author Posted May 23, 2015 Ok guys, has anyone tinted their lights before? I got stuff off eBay and tried it but it was far to shiny looking against the satin finish of the car so was wondering if there is a dull spray that I could use? Cheers. Quote
GlanzaJim Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Hopefully that's a good thing GlanzaJim? lolYeah it is mate. Its lovely! Quote
PMCBEAVER81 Posted June 21, 2015 Author Posted June 21, 2015 Wee update - bought a thing off eBay that replaces the cigarette lighter with 2 usb ports. Handy for charging the phone. Also got a red tow hook and put on my UKSO sticker to brighten up the back end a bit. Quote
PMCBEAVER81 Posted July 17, 2015 Author Posted July 17, 2015 Cheers Rich-k. Only thing that bothers me is the exhaust sits in a bit too far behind the bumper. It's in the pipeline to get sorted but just don't know the handiest way to go about it yet! Quote
PMCBEAVER81 Posted August 16, 2015 Author Posted August 16, 2015 Car just went through MOT yesterday! Another years driving for the big sum of £105! ( 2 rear shocks, gearbox mount and a tyre ) But in other news........some plank drove into my quarter panel and drove off. It's bent in and out like a dogs back leg!Have to get it back to the boy that plastidipped it to see if he can sort it. Quote
