kosmic Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 (edited) After selling my Red GZ back in October last year, i seriously regretted it and had serious withdrawal symptoms. So earlier this year in February i bought another GZ in silver which needed a little tlc but would be a great little project for me. There was a lot of inital work to be done on the car, such as removing the awful chav ICE install and the awful tints. Amongst other things the paintwork was really bad with rust on the edges of the doors. A couple of months ago i decided to reparay the whole car together with fitting oem skirts and a do-luck front. I really wanted a nice black but something different to the Supra black, so searching through just about every black colour available a friend at work suggested BMW Carbon Black. Its a beautiful metallic black which has a gorgeous bluey/purple tinge in sunlight which looks stunning for those who have seen it on recent Bmw's. Here are the results below, not 100% perfect but gettting there..... originally when i bought her: http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/7774/09rf3.jpg http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/09rf3.jpg/1/w640.png Work in progress pics...all on my cam phone so quality is poor... http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/4294/10ec8.jpg http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/10ec8.jpg/1/w640.png http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/6601/11jb5.jpg http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/11jb5.jpg/1/w640.png http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/313/12ma1.jpg http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/12ma1.jpg/1/w640.png http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/1739/14cp8.jpg http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/14cp8.jpg/1/w640.png http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/8416/15xe9.jpg http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/15xe9.jpg/1/w480.png http://img114.imageshack.us/img114/6354/16qi4.jpg http://img114.imageshack.us/img114/16qi4.jpg/1/w640.png http://img114.imageshack.us/img114/3918/17li4.jpg http://img114.imageshack.us/img114/17li4.jpg/1/w640.png http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/8624/18ip9.jpg http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/18ip9.jpg/1/w640.png http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/7411/19nc3.jpg http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/19nc3.jpg/1/w640.png Edited September 11, 2008 by kosmic (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Hey Sandeep, so thats where you've been hiding Love the styling, a little bit here and there, but nothing over the top. Not sure on the colour, it's a bit hard to tell from the pics, guess I'll just have to wait to see it IRL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kosmic Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 Thanks for all the nice comments guys, much appreciated, to be fair the pics dont do the car justice, it does look stunning that is a brilliant transformation. sandy - can you provide me the details of who did the work including the "kharcha" or "rokhera" I had it done at a local bodyshop to me, run by a long time family friend. Hey Sandeep, so thats where you've been hiding Love the styling, a little bit here and there, but nothing over the top. Not sure on the colour, it's a bit hard to tell from the pics, guess I'll just have to wait to see it IRL Yes its hard to fully appreciate the colour and depth from the pics but it is amazing in the flesh, ive never been a fan of black cars but this has changed my opnion....
