good work m8, looks a nice finish on it

 

I first thought the first pic was the result
Very nice indeed

 

lol so did I

Looks so much better in blue than gold.

 

I dunno gold with blue wheels would have looked pretty special.........

 

That looks great What the hell was someone thinking of painting it gold in the first place though

 

that makes 3 off us much better m8

 

err 4

 

Nice new blue color, but I think the gold was rather nice, certainly unique.

 

5!
Was ROFL until I realised you were spraying it blue Nice Job

 

Oh man, you should have kept it blue...don't like that brown!!!

LOL

Seriously, though - two words: Brilliant work!

 

Much nicer than that horrible bronze/gold colour!
I hope that you are pleased with it as you spent lots of hours re-painting it in a different colour! ...btw a great choice of Blue!

 

no.6 here. was gonna try and politely type a response to the gold/brown car when I realised I was being an idiot. who`d want a gold/brown car? very nice indeedy

Paul Palmer: last night you told me that my older grille would look much better colour coded, I agree now

WRXSMO: still need to come down and discuss colour coding on mine. I`ll be there soon as.


Cliff

 

I should have showed you the grill on the scoob in the garage then

 

I fell for it too Gold before not after !!!

Looking good there Paul

Simon

 

i must be no 8 then...looks sweet now

 

looked better bronze imo

not another blue scooby
well as long as your happy with it

 

wasn't that the 'Top Secret' bronze colour? did the engine come with any added goodies? assuming it's an import that is.

better colour now though

 

It was me who painted this car, I had to do a complete respray as the paint somebody had used previously had cracked like I have never seen before, which you can not see in the first pic, which is why I had to paint strip it. It was silver originally but fancied WR blue. Thanks for nice comments....

 

shame about the run in the wing ...................ha ha only jokin.
doin the same as that its a lota work, but worth it.
does the person who owns or works at littleknocks, used to work at milcars once apon a time?

 

Yes, LittleKnocks is owned/run by 3 brothers & a friend, we've all worked for various dealers in the past like Merc, BMW, Porsche etc
Martin (scoobyfury) did most of the paintwork on this one altho we cant miss out Dave & Tom who both put in hours & hours too getting rid of that mosiac like gold paint & preparing all the panels !
We chose the colour because we had never seen a classic in WR Blue (plus it's been great to take a 10+yr old Impreza & make it look like new )

Thanks for all the kind comments.

Chris

 

Dave worked at Milcars in Stanmore as a painter few years back. Now helps run Little knocks. Do you know him?

 

How much did it cost to do the repainting?
and how long?

 

Without the labour (coz we did it ourselves) it cost about £300

Took about 4 weeks in our spare time

 

very nice . very nice indeed . will it be out and about soon?

 

Looks 1000000% better.

Dan

 

very nice! much better colour no 10

 

Top job mate

 

hope you've told DVLA looks a good job, wasn't on ebay for sale was it? remember seeing a bronze one on there that needed a respray a while back

If you are going to something, you may as well do it right!

Respect!
