the best comes to those who waits

 

Derek e mailed me today, he will be phoning his bank on Tuesday,to confirm nothings bounced!!!!!!!!
So I hope that means he will start sending stuff out Tuesday and Wednesday???? The only delay he has told me about is the 00 vents he is making those now,so I don't think it's a major delay,maybe an extra day or two!!!!! Sorry for those with the 00 cars.
He's also sent me the pictures of my battery side scoop which I think is the first one he's ever made, (looking good), I now am going to buy some primer/paint/laquer as a fellow scooby owner from the Sussex meet has offered to paint them for me, thankyou Gary,(Starship Impreza).
Hopefully have an update for everyone Tuesday or Wednesday.
Cheers Kev.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
Got mine this morning................................Now for the painting....................................

 

have mine too

now the Q is: how to paint it

could someone guide me through that?
what paints shall I use?

thanks

 

I am no expert but Gary who is painting them for me (rather than going to a body shop) said you have to prime them first,then you can go to halfords or the like and if you give them your paint code for your car ie mines 406 in silver.They will make up a spray can of your paint, and then you need to buy a can of laquer, to finish it off then let it dry overnight.
If you haven't got anyone who knows what their doing then I would pop down to a local bodyshop and offer cash, as I was originally going to do!!!!!!!!!
Good luck............Kev.

 

thanks Kev

on my way to halfords now

 

took mine to the body shop and they are going to make it perfect and two pack paint it so it looks the biz.

 

WRXROB> just out of interest how much are you paying them to do it?

I've jsut spent just under 20.00 on primer, paint and laquir.
And primer is on now...

 

velryba>body shop bloke said the leading edge of the scoop needed a little work to make it 100% and to paint in two pack paint,with the underside done in shiney two pack black.
and the 22b done the same minus the black should be around £80-£90.
i know not cheep but i do like thing done perfect just need to get rid of all those darn stone chips.

 

Got mine this morning GOOD BIT OF GEAR ??? now in local paint shop £55 done , on the car for the weekend , THANKS FUNDIE and KEV cheers al

 

WRXROB> well that would be the price I would expect.

hmmmmmmm black underside

 

I also went to halfords this morning, primer/paint/large can of laquer.............£20...result................
Now will take everything around to Gary for the weekend, I want to do the underside of the vents aswell so it all matches...........can't wait.....roll on the weekend.

 

so how are ppl gettin on?

ive done the scoop, just needs laquering tonight.

but i had a slight accident with the vent, happily sanding it down and made a big hole in one of the edhes. must have been an air bubble or something that i uncovered. but not to worry rebuilt it with some more filler.

all looking good now. trial fitted everything to start with and the 22b vent looks well tasty, much nicer than the original rubish

Mark

 

velryba yes two pack gloss black under the bonnet to match the plate on the passenger side and i believe these look better finished off black.

 

I'm hopefully picking mine up over the next couple of days, if anyone out there has already painted and put them on their car, then I think we should put the pics up on this thread over the next few days................what do you think????????????



Kev go on you know you want to!!!!!!!!

 

Wots happened to mine then?....they must have been sent Pidgeon post and the poor thing has collapsed and died somewhere

Jon

 

maybe the aliens have intercepted them and put them on their space ship.

Elmer is your car my00 as mentioned earlier Derek did say there was a delay with these ones.
If you want me to I will email him to ask for an update????
Otherwise I would start with Trafalgar square first............those pesky pidgeons.

 

Its no problem Kev,I'm sure they'll arrive shortly

Jon....I'm dying to see warickhunts picture,but can only see red x's

 

Any chance on doing another group buy on these??? I was gonna chop my slatted vents around and make some 22b vents but for £45 I may aswell get some of these Noticed that some people missed out too so maybe another gb????

 

Kev i've edited text, i'm on the chill pills man
