SkydiveMacca Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Just picked up the Supra from the body shop. It had already been de-spoilered, but there were grommets in the holes. Whilst sorting out a bit of rust, i've had them properly smoothed out and took the opportunity to de-badge at the same time. Also, the very dull bumper has been re-sprayed. What do you think?

Mk4Gaz Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Not normally a fan of despoilered, as I think they need one to carry the heavy rear end - but that looks sweet, nice job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bambisdad Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Same here. Usually like to see a spoiler but this is very nice and a great colour:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkydiveMacca Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 I love the 1A1. Seems it might be a bit of a marmite colour, but I think it looks really great on a Supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Facelift rear lights next!! Looks awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkydiveMacca Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 Can't afford a set of those. Would much rather spend the money on performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTurtleshead Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Out of interest who in P'Boro did you use? I've only found one painter who will work to a standard I would accept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkydiveMacca Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 No one in Peterborough It's a company called East Cote Customs based in, well, East Cote. It's near Solihull. Run by a friend of mine, so I may seem a little biased, but I've always very highly rated his work. They've turned out some stunning cars. Not a great website, but you can find the details here: http://www.eastcotecustoms.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I love the 1A1. Seems it might be a bit of a marmite colour, but I think it looks really great on a Supra 1A1 ftw, any more pics of the whole car fella? Not a fan of spoilerless tbh, with the correct wheels and stance it can be very sleak looking. +1 on the facelift rears they suit the colour nicely In my opinion, but your looks great as is too dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkydiveMacca Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Here's a quick car park snap to show the rear from a different angle. Sorry it's not that clean! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schemauk Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) I like the look, had thought about doing myself, but then adding a low level spoiler (I believe there was a group buy not too long ago, and fell in love with the look.) I think your car looks stunning, and the 1A1 has grown on me a lot recently Would you mind me asking how much that cost you all in, for the bumper respray, tailgate smooth-out, and any other bits? PM me if you llike. East Cote is only 50 minutes from me, so I'm incredibly tempted!

Westy Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Should have removed the wiper and top nozzle at the same time IMO. Car looks great though! 1A1 is an epic colour! What's the spec of your car!? I can see UK spec brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Looks great from the side! The colour looks so good in the sunlight, changing the Alloys to black made a massive difference on how mine looks (from a distance for those who have seen, it still looks shite up close ) looks much more stealthy and runs well against the 1A1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManwithSupra Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 1A1 In the sun is spectacular I almost bought one in this colour when I first bought a Supra getting on for a decade ago now. It was a completely stock TT IIRC with around 50k miles, I cant remember if it was manual or Auto but it had the standard 17" OEM wheels which were mint condition, UK front and rear brakes, OEM skirts and spats, front spoiler, standard exhaust - beautiful no other words. Unfortunately the trader would not do the deal I wanted with the car (I was looking to PX a EP3 Civic Type R at the time), so got a Silver one instead. Yours looks really nice mate.

Back window out job to remove the rear nozzle though as it can't be welded to close to the window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkydiveMacca Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 I got mates rates, so best bet is to contact Adam directly through the info on the website. He's a really nice guy and his work is absolutely top notch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
