Thanks guys. It should look good I think. And the gold pearl was my wife's suggestion. Which means if it doesn't it's not my fault As far as repair when anything needs a respray we will see. It's standard 202 white base with a standard off she shelf gold pearl. So the only bit that is custom is the ammount. And I'll get the details of the mix when it's done so shouldn't be too bad I hope

Its taken a while to get my car to this point after i got it with no interior, flat tyres, a deafening exhaust and various mechanical problems including it needing a head rebuild, oil leaks, various electrical problems etc... Now its been in a nice drive able state for a year or more now. Its been mechanically sound. Even after some rough treatment. But its always been a bit cosmetically tatty. The paint on the roof is the age of the car and has lost all its shine. The sides of the car are covered in tiny parking dings. Although because the paint is so matt you don't see it most of the time. And there are various other dents to fix and holes in my rear hatch to fill from a wiper delete. The engine bay is... functional. Has some nice looking bits but in other areas its tatty as hell with cables and hoses all over the shop. So the middle of last year i decided its time to have it painted. And after ages aganising over the colour. About 3-4 trips to the bodyshop getting paint samples. iv decided. The bodyshop are just waiting for me to give them a call to tell them when i can drop the car off. However its got a flat battery at the mo Its staying white essentially. But i wanted something a bit different. So its having a nice strong pearl gold ontop. I had the bodyshop spray up 3 testers of different gold's for me. one i didnt like the other 2 were very close. One seemed to have bigger flakes of reflectiveness in it so thats the one i went for. But i asked them to do me another couple of samples. One with twice as much pearl. Which is too much. It makes the while appear a bit grey in normal light. And then i asked for a bit of metallic in another sample. But that just looked bad. So im going to go somewhere between the two that i liked. Here are some pictures for anyone thats interested that i took that tried to capture the pearl colour. Although its difficult. Photo in bright sunlight. Right is the colour i chose (with the hole). these are the 2 colours i liked. one is a bit more orange the other is more yellow. I prefer the slightly more orange one on the left. however because of the next photo i chose the slightly more yellow one. This photo exaggerates it a bit. in real life they are very very similar. This one at night. The left one also has a larger flake size as you can see here. Which i prefer. It catches the light more. This is the yellow colour. but with more pearl mixed in. Daytime Night (reversed from the above photo) Ill post some more pictures as i take them

My facelift na 5 speed had a cubby hole whith a carpet exactly like that.

Cool

If you don't take them I will. Had them in my first supra and loved them

None. I'm working 12h day shift next weekend. Then the weekend after 12h night shift. Then I'm in Florida untill April 1st lol

If you want me to come arround and look at it I can do. But keep in mind. That is LITERALLY all I'll be any good at doing . Hope you get it sorted mate

Oh no. I can't make 10th. I'm I'm Florida from the 7th. It's a shame as is like to know what power she is running. The only printout I have is from some time before I got the car

Well up for Northampton motorsport. Went there a few years ago. Nice place. Full of old Ferraris last time

Add me to the list if you can mate. I don't get on the forum as much as I used to and this would be great. My bumper is all off at one side because nothing supports it.

i looked at classic insurance. there were a few places that didnt mind mods. however the other restrictions put me off.

i did yeah. but im scared evil mods might take it away from me

i noticed it arround 7:15 and was like.... is this... can i... erm... so i just booked it anyway. i didnt want to knacker anything up. Please let me know if i have a ticket. everything seems to have gone through paypal ok. Oh and as a friendly reminder to anyone going over the dartford crossing. easier to set it up now so you pay in advance or link your card up to your reg number so it does it automaticly.

ahh, sorry i forgot the reason its only in the members section - removed the link. but you quoted it... so... lol anyway - me right now - https://gifsound.com/?gif=https://media.giphy.com/media/pa37AAGzKXoek/giphy.gif&v=49AiqH-DuR0

oops

well im just going to assume iv got one and not buy two as there as been no word from the mods. lol!

same as last year. i was a bit peaved when i just missed it last year. lol. you will get a ticket. i missed all 3 lots of tickets last year but picked one up of someone who couldnt come. chill

dunno tbh. iv got an email to say iv got a ticket. but not convinced its genuine. lol

yeah they were saying sold out at arround 7ish. then i refreshed about 7:15 and i could select them. So... they ether sold out already. or its testing and we didn't actually get any lol

im not saying check the shop now... but... unless i somehow ninja'd in after a random page refresh while they are testing something... as the option isnt there any more :S

i have learned from last year. im not on my laptop with crap touchpad. im on my main overclocked gaming rig with plenty of ram and ssd's. With high tech mouse and keybord for ultimate response time. i have all my details ready to go...

Checking in ahead of time . Anyone got a link to the club shop I can never find it and get in a panic

hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng So... Tempting... But I'm not sure I can give up the supra for it.

if you remove or change all or even some of those points... its not a starwars film any more. "i love fast and furious films. but i dont like the cars, and vin diesel sucks, and there are too many stunts. so they should remove them for the next film."

out of all my friends. work, facebook, everywhere i know. you lot are the only bunch of people who dont seem to like it. miserable bastards. Im no huge starwars nerd. i enjoy the films. the new 3 were not great, but ok, spoiilt by not that great of a story and too much cgi. the origonal 3 were good films but over rated and looked upon with rose tinted specs. but this one was great. It carried on and borrowed from the older films very well.
