mwilkinson Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I am just about to buy £1200 of brand new shiny exterior trim for the car prior to getting the car resprayed. Is this obsessive, have I overstepped the mark?? My wife certainly thinks so!! The list includes: New facelift headlights. New washer jets. New scuttle and seal. New rubber door seals New rubber window seals New quarter glasses New Front and rear window seals New Upper door mouldings New door window mouldings New front and rear toyota badges New rear supra badge What do you guys think?? When does the cost of a respray go to far!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I bought nearly 4 grands worth of carbon fibre bits before my respray plus £1800 on wheels, so, no I don't think you're insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 I wouldn't be surprised if some people thought i was, but I have read posts by people who are slowly, maybe not in one lump like me, buying all these replacement parts to enhance the effort put into the respray. I thought to myself, why not!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
