Rob_Mitchell Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Well he dropped his car down this morning for the bonnet, front bumper and both wings to be painted. And left here with front bumper,bonnet, under bonnet,wings,mirrors,doors,door handles, rear quartres and rear bumper,rear spats,and splitter to be done. I am not one to critisise any car as its there pride and joy but i think adam will back me up when i say how shocking the bodywork is, thats why we are doing more work. Ill post some pics soon and i want to do a write up for him on progress made. Plus if he ever decides to sell the car it has a bit of history to go with it. Top bloke too which is always good nice to meet you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackso11 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 note the blue bonnet- yummy. Yeah people always go for a bright coloured car with a black or corbon bonnet, I thought I would be different and go black car with a blue bonnet. Or I might have just bought a blue UK spec bonnet. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 hammered (sledge) then satin over the top. no its going lovely black, couldnt twist his arm for colour change but black does take aot of beating imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 yup. Toyota Astral 202. How all cars should look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Black is the dogs, just not practical for me. I'm just impressed with the time people spend polishing here. Silver may be dull but it always looks clean Good luck, not that you need it obviously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 yup. Toyota Astral 202. How all cars should look black or orange you meant. but yeah lovely 202 is still one of my favourites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 yeah, orange of course Your photo in your avatar on here doesn't do your car justice. It is much more orange/yellow in the flesh, like a chameleon paint. I really liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
