Three weeks ago i dropped off my beloved supra with 5 color shades of super red at the bodyshop along with my full bomex bodykit to be fitted and full car re-spray to one color, super red 4.

 

Three weeks later i picked her today and i have to say its like having a brand new car, just awsome to see her finished.:D:d:d:d

 

 

Bonnet super red 2, side wing super red 4, rear bumper super red 3 etc.[sAD][/sAD]

Well done, does look very nice!

 

Can i ask...if you get your whole car resprayed but the same colour, does that mean it is a cheaper job and doesnt have to be done as well since its the same colour...? Or is that the stupidest thing asked ever and ofcourse its just as expensive and has to be done just as professionally?? [OOPS][/OOPS]

my supra before it went into the bodyshop had 5 different shades of super red all over the car red and super red 1,2,3,4

 

so the car was not done the same color just re-sprayed to 1 color which is super red 4.

 

done the job for £1200 and he is highly recomended from allot of people, who gave me his number so i could get her finished properly.

That does sound quite cheap, my paintwork is not in that bad condition, was just wondering if it was an easier job just doing a sort of spray over with the same colour to get it looking new again to cover up imperfections and stone chips...wishful thinking i suppose.

At least you got to see all the options before you chose the final colour! :D

 

Seriously - it looks much better now - you must be very happy. :)

Can't say I like it mate, sorry and no offence meant :( The bonnet doesn't fit too well (massive panel gaps) and the whole thing looks too fussy.

 

It needed a repaint there's no doubt about that, but could have been better spent getting the lights and other stuff sorted out, instead of sticking fibreglass to it.

its ok its not to everyone taste, but at the moment everyone seems to love the look of the car, its one hell of a serious head turner and the women love it, so i am happy, i always loved the look of the orange fast and furious car from the first time i watched it an it stuck in my head since.

looks really nice, I bet the plod don't like the number plate location though :D

 

Mitsubishi FTO GPX

look at the plate i had once on the FTO, but the police never stopped me, my mates a cop, told me the plate is border line on legal/illegal, even tho its flat, its at an angel and it can still be seen clearly so its ok.

 

i have had police drive past me so many times and vice versa, nothing, no doubt they look, but i look at the road.
