Westy Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 They are cheap though! May pick a new set at the end of the month after I get my Xmas overtime money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDukesy Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Have the car a well deserved clean today! Dirt built up from daily driving over the past 2 months! With it looking sparkling again I decided it deserved a few treats so I've ordered 2 x Rear Tyres and Full Chrome Dash Ring Set from TheTuningShop on eBay Before fitting these the dash will be removed and sprayed 1A1 to tidy it up a bit. 1 Problem with this post....no pictures!

Westy Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 1 Problem with this post....no pictures! Lol! Dash rings arrived this morning. The dash will be getting sprayed 1A1 but I sat them in place for a look and took some pics to keep you happy! Before: After: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 I think once it's painted the chrome will add to the look tbh. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Any plans for the handbrake handle mate? All looking ace - looking forward to meeting some. Of the Scottish members at events this year. Some awesome cars between you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 It def needs replaced! It's so tatty! Quick question for anyone that knows/can confirm!? When switching from prefacelift to facelift rear lights...I take it will I need to purchase the facelift looms as I believe the bulbs are smaller on the facelift!? Also...are the facelift headlights a straight swap!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 You definitely need loom for the rears mate - not sure about the fronts though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 They are a streight swap if you have already updated too facelift indicators, if you still have the orange blob indicators it will need those facelift indicators fitting too. personally I would just get Scott to facelift your pre-facelift lights mucho easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) No worries I'll purchase the rear looms when the time comes. I facelifted my prefacelift lights myself mate! They are mint now but I'd rather go full facelift tbh. Doesn't marcAB10 have facelift headlights and orange blobs!?

Next time I take my lights out ill have a look at how the previous owner ran the wires for sidelight/indicator to my facelift set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) Another quick Q...how much is reasonable to have a preface lift dash sprayed 1A1!? I know they have a rubberised finish which has to be removed before painting so that will push the price up I'm sure.

(Got quoted today, just want an idea if it's good or not) That rubber stuff is hideous stuff to remove, Cant be anymore than £150 though surely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 That's exactly what he quoted mate...£150 if I removed it and drop it in to him. He is really busy so said it would be a 5 day turnaround. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Not remove it yourself or by dash panels that's already had it removed? Prep is key though mate and if I did that he could just say any flaws were down to my prep!? Atleast if he does it there's no excuses and it should be mint.

He is really busy so said it would be a 5 day turnaround. I used Thinners on mine it came off, but took a few coverings before it was all gone, it took a good few hours to get it off all 4 panels, 5 days! whats he doing inseminating it? so well worth £150 considering how much of a pain it was.

Westy Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Tbh I don't think he even has the time to do them due to the number of cars they have in but said he would try and get them done for me if I wanted. I'm sure the 5 days is just to allow him enough time to ensure they get done. Plus I can't be bothered with that! Sitting for hrs waiting to scrape it all off!

If you can get a spaire set and send them to me im sure i could get my dad to do them much cheaper, but would take a little while. Hes a professional paint sprayer for a living Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 What would be a decent price then mate...I thought it may be a bit much but the removal of the rubber coating threw me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Its dificult i can ask him, when we did mine we put in a few hours in prep removing the coating and really a decent garage will charge 50+ per hour i guess. However we took our time and we did other bits too. Rebuilt a few bits, filled a stock button whole etc etc. If you remove the coating it would drop the price drastically, as painting i would think would only cost around £70 at a guess? But you could get a special rattle can made up and use that instead and one of those costs £20, this is what i used under my bonnet. Materials that way would only be around £40 So many options really depends what route you want to take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
