mplavery Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) Hi all I thought i would do another thread for my car as i wanted fresh start due to all the problems i had with the other body shop, To cut a long story short for the people that don't know, the body shop mucked me around loads and had my car for a year and only fitted and blended the trail rear bumper and that was it!.

What im having done to the car DO-LUCK Front bumper TRAIL Rear bumper smoothed BLITZ Side Skirts smoothed TRD Spoiler with Carbon blade GANADOR Door Mirrors New FMIC Custom Bonnet Vents Tininted Windows Aerial removed and smoothed Internal aerial fitted to windscreen Rear wiper and jet removed and smoothed Arhces rolled Wheels spaced out Dash sprayed APR Carbon fibre radiator cooling plate Carbon Fuse box cover and other engine bling Paint Liquid Yellow I have LOADS of photos but i will trim them down and do them in order Enjoy Before the body shop New Intercooler on New Vents in the bonnet Side Skirts going on Front bumper modded for intercooler pipes Edited October 2, 2016 by mplavery Car has been painted now (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Looking good. Did you pay that garage for any work done? How come you left them with it for a year?? As above though, the seats look like they will take a lot of work to get looking good. You should have taken them out really before doing such extensive prep work.

L18msy Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Being a yellow will it need to have quite a few coats of basecoat as yellow is pretty transparent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Loving the bodywork, the wheels are spot on and the colour is perfect Looking forward to the end result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Croydon, not too far from me. Will be interested in this thread as I may have to have them take up my car when the time comes. If you wouldn't mind, can you PM me with the total price for the entire job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mplavery Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 Being a yellow will it need to have quite a few coats of basecoat as yellow is pretty transparent? Liquid Yellow is double the labour then a normal standerd paint...These guys really know what there talking about. Xquisite are not some accident repair shop, they only really do custom work..And beleive me, im paying the price for this work !!! The cars in there work shop was like a car show but i was not allowed to take photos for you guys due to a few of them were going to be featured in magazines Check them out http://www.xquisiteautomotive.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mplavery Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) looks like a nice body kit,........ but i am not so sure on the colour will have to see what it looks like when its done i guess Cheers mate I love the kit too The colour was so so hard to choose,I went round loads of dealers looking at there new colours and then one day this Renault went past me in the Gorgeous Liquid pearl yellow and that was it. It seems that no matter what light this colour is in it just looks gorgoeus. I was going to do a blue or orange but then i thought, not many yellows so lets go for that lol Im still not 100% sure if this colour will work, It works in my head but we will see lol Edited August 9, 2010 by mplavery (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
