Lol how about White with Black wheels Am tempted with storm blue with black wheels. For a respray it would have to be either black, MSB or RSB. Black would be my choice as its stealthy but RSB would be a good one as well as its so rare. LOVE monkey shit brown after the car with the massive turbo but a colour change is FAR too much agro and VERY difficult to get it spot on, so a no go imafraid.

supra steveo Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 looks good, how much is all that costing ? really want a full respray on my motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 looks good, how much is all that costing ? really want a full respray on my motor So far i have bought new bumpers and bumper impact bar and new rear lights. Still need to buy new clips, indicators and dildo's. so about £500 there. Paint will be about £400 i think including quality lacquer. Repairs to the vehicle are £200 Stripping and fitting done by me and a mate. £0 Thats so far, so all in im sure i will manage sub £2K. Generally my bodyshop charges £4.5K for a full spray (same colour) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 dont know if you want to consider it mate but as well as the arial, rear wiper and washwipe i also ditched the high level brake light aswell, i thought theres enough brake lights as it is , i like the look and think it really cleans up the back end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 That looks proper mean. Jon, you have to put OEM skirts and spats on!! Does look great. Certainly something i MAY consider once its done. the only problem is to me it looks like its got a kind of bodykit on it and i shy away from that.

Pig Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 i think the rear brake light adds to the design so i agree Did you know that the UK spec one doesnt work? It has the plug but no wire from the actual light. Strange boring fact for you there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange boring fact for you there. really?! why would they do that? its not like its any effort to "keep" it connected over the transition from JSPEC to UKSPEC?! very odd yeah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben-san Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 really?! why would they do that? its not like its any effort to "keep" it connected over the transition from JSPEC to UKSPEC?! very odd yeah Because LEDs were not classed legal for road use in the UK back then. Can't wait to see the results Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for putting the pic up though. no worrys mate, how about losing the front wash wipes you can just see them above the wiper in the black plastic, or changing the ford cortina side indicators for something a little more contemperary, i did enjoy changing colours as it gives you the opportunity to do things different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
