supra sam Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Graze on front bumper near side Marks on bumper off side Slight dodgy respray on offside wing and a large touched up chip But most annoying imperfection....... Bubbled up/melted paint above exhaust from dyno run last year really spoils it! Apart from that it's mint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miko_supra Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 do allot of people have lacquer lifting off on their roofs and bonnets leaving a sort of dense stone chip appearence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Things that I want to address: Some stone chips on front (will get resprayed next year) Foggy headlight that I need to reseal (probably do that soon) and it needs a good polish to remove some fine scratches and swirls! otherwise not too bad for a car of its age - after all it is not new and does get used and black shows up everything! grrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miko_supra Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 ah that reminds me, i need new matts. Although i can think of more exciting things to spend £60 on, such as taking that annoying top speed limiter off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although i can think of more exciting things to spend £60 on, such as taking that annoying top speed limiter off. Yeah - I was thinking that, too ... but with my special lead filled driving shoes I think it's better to leave it on there for a bit, and stay under 180-ish kph. Anyway - mine's an n/a, so probably won't go much faster anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 mine is bubbly in places and the roof looks like it has polish stuck on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway - mine's an n/a, so probably won't go much faster anyway Well it's limited to 112mph, and it will easily go up to 140. at 112 it mean anything can beat you eventually. i've been beaten by an old golf gti from 70 mph because of it.

miko_supra Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 mine is bubbly in places and the roof looks like it has polish stuck on it i really need to get mine resprayed in those areas. Idealy an entire respray, its just the money though and also its only me who notices it. mate had a car repsrayed for £850 inc wheel refurb. Very tempted! did a pretty good job too.
