Cars been there since the 17th Jan ffs, I can`t do no more!!

BUT misinformation makes you think what I`m doing is one thing, so if your sure about something then are you believing the misinformation or the reality (Which only 3 know).

 

Ooh the tension is too much.

 

It`s Jarvis`s fault, I was set for P1 blue, but he threw a spanner in with the paint code and a cheap supply of the Porsche Orange, that really did throw a major spanner into the works.


But my wheels are 100% staying WHITE!!

 

Oh I'm in the "black" now.

 

Lmfao, time will tell, but don`t be "Green".

 

The Authorisation has FINALLY been given, and the work will be underway soon.

 

Halleluljah!!!

 

Yep, have organised some more functional goodies ready for mapping.
Just need to sell the bits I had bought initially, anyone after 440cc, rails, Carl Davey fitting kit, and FPR take off?? lol.

 

Right popped down today to go through everything with the guy doing the work, and they have been having major hassle with the Engineers. Instead of a normal scenario of adding their 10% to the cost of the bodyshop work, they charge the BODYSHOP 10%, so I`ve had to a little jiggery pokery, and I have decided to not get my spare bootlid and bumper sprayed now as otherwise I`d either have to spend more, or not have door jams done etc, and I don`t have the available funds due to other things.

These sodding Engineers (who we had to wait for, for the go-ahead) have been messing us around something chronic.

But all is well and the work has finally started.
Colour has been seen sprayed onto a test piece, and it looks awesome.

 

Rock n roll!

 

So is that the car finished??

 

They are taking pics as they go, one camera and 3 rolls of film (film remember them??), and one Digital camera.
So should have a damn good album when done.


Lol, I WISH!!!

 

Looking forward to the finished result

 

all good things come to those who wait jb

 

So, it's not a glass out job then?

 

Yeah they coming out tomorrow, as all they had done in that shot was mirrors off, bumpers off, door cards off, indicators and lights off. Nothing else had been done apart from cable tie the fog lamp to the tow hook.

 

Those mudflaps look familiar?

 

Erm, yeah, erm I was going to just use them as a pattern but I fixed them

After all you did throw them out

 

Lmfao.
The front one where in a hell of a shape tho.

 

Were, I`m good at shaping metal, and a bit of imaginative repair lol.
But they doing a good job

 

Had a bit of a delay with the work, so had to pop down today to sort some paperwork out so took some pics.

Like the colour Yellow?? The whole car was that colour lol.

Anyways glass is still in for the prep work, will be be removed and the areas cleaned up just before the car gets primer, which should be tomorrow.





But this will be the last few pictures till I get it back, and upload the progression pics and then the final result.

Should be awesome.

Oh I can confirm that the wheels are going a Ford frosted white??
Nice bright white colour that the Ford commercial vans come in lol.
Thats the last of the colour, until it is unveiled.

 

So its going yellow, blue and white??

 

Seeing that yellow is making me want to be Bananaman!!

 

Coming on Fella will be good when it's one colour - what colour you settling on, I may have missed your decision up the thread somewhere.?

 

Porsche GT3 RS orange I believe Simon, if he's got the cahoonas.

 

Wow - won't miss him then same as your wheels Ty ?

 

Allegedly Simon, but that remains to be seen.

 

coming along jb when you looking to have it back

 

Thing is I`m torn really, as I want to do something different.

BUT

With some colours like Orange, it can make you a target for unwanted attention, from numpties, and police. And with the cost of a full spray job its unlikely to be done again, so will I like it in a few years? Theres NOTHING shy and retiring about a bright orange car. Also possible re-sale values would be affected, as more people would be put off by an Orange car compared to standard.

With a standard colour, its going to look a LOT better than it was, will be a bit more conservative, and I know that in a few years its going to look good, and not dated and "chavvy". And with a standard colour I`m less likely to attract bad attention, and find a colour match for future modifications/repair easier.

Say I`m diving to a job interview, which is likely to give a good impression?? A bright orange Impreza, or an immaculate standard colour Impreza??

So its not cahonas, or bottle, its a serious decision that I have until Monday at the latest to come to a decision, as thats the deadline as to use the paint I have, or buy in something more conservative.

 

I know what you mean, there's an orange Audi that passes my house often and it's OK for a few seconds but you have to live with it. The RS Green is Nice
