  1. Flat. Polish. Then finish off door strips spoiler odds n ends etc
     
  2. Looks a good job!

    Is that a S1 Escort I see in the background inside?
     
  3. 1600i
     
  4. Want a carbon spoiler?

    I don't like it anymore and want inferno to match my body work :worried:

    And wing mirrors.

    Smoothed bumper looks silly but the rest is spot on.
     
  6. Naa sorry. Love the all orange look. Wanted it to look as smooth and clean as possible. Got the door mouldings smoothed and the bullets are orange too. :smile:
     
  7. Mr. Clark how much for the spoiler?
     
  8. I'm loving the smoothed bumper!
    Where will you put the plate?
     
  9. Yeah. It should look even better when its all built back up. Got a cupra splitter for it too. The no plate will be a square one fitted underneath the tow eye cover. Its actually a jdm civic plate relocator bracket, that will bolt on to the underside of the lower bumper grill recess. It will be fitted this next week. Ill get pics up :wink:
     
  10. On with the flat and polish job...

    Got the r spoiler on at last :smile:
     
  14. Done at last! :smile:
     
  15. Good finish that
     
  16. Looks fresh that, great work. Not a fan of the number plate though.
     
  17. Nice work.

    I'm thinking about a respray, did you think about smoothing the doors/rear wing and doing away with the mouldings at all?
     
  18. Naa. Too much work. Soo much work went into getting it as good as it is now. I'm sure it could look super smooth tho if you did.
     
  19. loved the thread but have to agree bout the number plate. Lovely paint job though car looks mint
     
  20. How come you've got a normal Megane grill fitted?
     
  21. Probably cos the 225/R26 upper grills are hard to come by . . .
     
  22. All that work and the tailgate panel was left on for painting.
     
  23. Very nice mate. Looks a top job that. I know garages will vary but what sort of price is it these days for a full respray? Eventually may look at getting mine done when I'm finished with all the niggles.
     
  24. Couldn't get it off without damaging it lee, so easier to leave it on. Luckily im mate's with the guys who did all the work i couldn't. But i think the paint was about £400-£450. I experienced the amount of work that goes into a full prep & paint job. I can now understand how much decent bodyshops charge. They did say when it was done the job should of cost on the region of £2500- £3000.
     
  25. Think I'll keep mine silver then :smiley:
     
  26. Its only a few screws.

    Took me around 40 hours to do mine start to finish, strip panel prep paint refit, not polished yet though that's next also wheel refurbs. My paint alone was £500.not including primer,or clear coat.
     
  27. Big hob. I wouldn't do again. Especially when you car wasnt so straight before you start. + any mods you want doing...
     
  28. *job :/
     
  29. How did you attach your plate? I wanna go for the smoothed bumper look. Can you post a straight on photo?
     
  30. That's a GREAT thread.
    Thanks for sharing..
