  1. I mean its quite a way out - it looks like the left hand side of the bumper is fine but it goes to a kind of much duller yellow on the right hand side. Like its been sprayed badly - check out the pic below. 20157298_1618098391536338_5547695138239481127_o.jpg
     
  2. Update on my R26 after more than a year of ownership :

    Just hit 83K in it - the starter motor has just failed so its currently in the garage and at the same time ive decided to get the belts and water pump done. (were done 4 years ago). And theres a really nasty 'whiny belty'' noise coming from the engine on cold,so its time they were done!

    Future plans :

    R26R spoiler
    Damage repair to my rear wheel arch (been quoted £750 for full LY respray to the side of the car)
    Respray the rear bumper (its been sprayed wrong in the past for some reason)
    New Gearknob (Any recommendations?)
    Paint Recaro seat runners black and fit some decals at the base.

  3. With regards to paint mate. Find a lesonal distributor, real good match. Supertune automotive in Gateshead do that paint and my mate works there so could get a decent price if needed mate.
     
  4. The £750 quote one i said is from a reputable garage who have matched the R26 LY many times before - thats why il go to them and its not too far away. Ive had quotes of £350-500 but i couldnt trust them with the colour match.
     
  5. Update : finally fitted a R26r Spoiler :sunglasses:
