drift_bear Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 the car needs a blow over and some attention to a few places, generally a good tidy up as its sat for 18months while I singled it during my times onshore. My only concern is that the lastime i had a blow over done the paint started flaking off the sills and front bumper 6months later as they hadn't prepared the car properly before giving it paint. Ive never had/seen any problems with my body shop or Marc's, I can pm you the details If you want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbloodyturbo Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 that would be sound mate, will give them a shout after it gets mapped and let them see it and hopefully they'll know what it needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drift_bear Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 Would a full carbon bonnet be to much to go with the current silver and subtle carbon on the rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Would a full carbon bonnet be to much to go with the current silver and subtle carbon on the rear? I think it will ruin it mate, the way you have it with the little bits will look great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift_bear Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 I think it will ruin it mate, the way you have it with the little bits will look great That's what I'm thinking, but the bonnet if see was the same as my last bonnet, the abflug vented one, I could always paint it and leave the vents in it carbon so it's subtle...

drift_bear Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Managed to get my mate to take some pics of the car in the body shop today while he was up making sure the skirts and spats i sold to SPG-26 were ready to be shipped and i must say the car is starting to look awesome!! The quality of the photo's are rubbish due to his "amazing" camera phone skills Because i'm offshore just now i told the guy at the body shop to take his time and aslong as its ready for pick up on the 5th, Which it will be!
