Fearless Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Finally getting my car sorted, it's been off the road since November see this thread: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=170141 after some one drove into the back of it while stationary at red lights. The work is being carried out at http://www.hiltonaccidentrepair.co.uk A well know member on here who works there is going to be sending me photo's of the work in progress. As almost half the car is going to need re-spraying as a result of the accident I thought I would take the opportunity to get the rest of the body work tided up and pay for the remaining half to be sprayed at the same time.

AdzC Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Good luck with it. Nice car you have there. Are you keeping the TRD spoiler? I think i prefer it to the Chargespeed one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hadyn Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Looking forward to this one getting sorted. I hate bodykits, but I've got a softspot for the chargespeed jobby (without the huuuuge spoiler) as its just mental Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fearless Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Good luck with it. Nice car you have there. Are you keeping the TRD spoiler? I think i prefer it to the Chargespeed one. Thank you It's actually a RMM spoiler (very similar to the TRD) but yes I hated the huge chargespeed spoiler and will be keeping the RMM one and the JDL front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Why not keep the chargespeed front Fearless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fearless Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Why not keep the chargespeed front Fearless? For one thing it stuck out about 9 inches further and made it a bugger to park (kerbs) and a PIA over speed bumps but I would have lived with it except that I tore most of it off on a grass verge on a track day last year when I strayed off the track a little way.

JamieP Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Nice car, goes well, had fun playing with you at Llandow, good luck with the rebuild Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Sorry about the rubbish pictures, I will try to email you lots though. So far so good, all the glass is now out and panels off (except doors and tailgate, they will be done later.) Must say im very impressed with the amount of sound deadening in the car, certainly no corners cut there. We keep Steve updated so he can update this thread as he see's fit.

dibbleyuk Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I cant understand why you brought it really its was a crazy looking car now its looks abit mismatch imo, the spoiler is to small for the massive body stying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fearless Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 Latest installment of pics, many thanks Jon (pig) for keeping me informed and sending pics of progress. I am toying with the idea of changing the colour, possible lime green, what do you reckon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Coming together nicely:) I would stick with the orange personally over lime green anyway. An electric blue would be nice:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesC Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I am toying with the idea of changing the colour, possible lime green, what do you reckon? I reckon Lamborghini Grey would be lovely, either one: http://www.autoblog.com/media/2006/03/lambo00007.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 OMG, i have just looked at my pic quality. Im very sorry. I will try harder tomorrow I think its time for the photochop help. Grey, dark green, lime green, midnight purple! They could all look amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fearless Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 Coming on nicely now (picture quality getting better too ) Still looking for some inspiration on the colour, it is very "too fast to furious" in that orange and I am looking for something not quite so garish any one on here good with photoshop ?

ellis Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 A deep grey would look so very 'stealth'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 A deep grey would look so very 'stealth'! He got crashed into when it was bright orange, I doubt Steve wants stealth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Im getting really excited, feel like its my car while its with me and am checking on it at least twice a day at the moment as its been worked on constantly for the last few days. Don't tell the owners of the other cars waiting to be put back together. Lets hope all goes well tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow thanks, I really am open to ideas but did originally want it lime green (colour of the Porche in the opening sequence of top gear) but not so sure now I have gone off the orange because all the buses round here are that shade of orange along with the TNT lorrys and RAC vans .......... Would be nice to see what it looks like in yellow, red, grey, electric blue ............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
