Thanks guys cant wait to get her home with all the bits refitted,

The color is very hard to photograph as soon as the shutter clicks the image saves in a different color. It does not help that it looks different under flourecent lights and natural light.

Looks well mate, respect for doing your own thing. You like yellow, paint it yellow.

At least it one simple colour, not and air brushed mess or flip or some of the other crap out they, should still look clean and simple but yellow.

Nice to see when finnished.

Did you not fancy a Facelift front end when it was away getting sprayed up??

IMO the crystal front end would have really lifted it, lol, not that bright yellow would have needed much of a lift, but you know what I mean!!


Cheers,

I really did not think about face lifting her its just not on my things to do list, I really do like her as she is. Do agree though it would of been ideal time to carry out a face lift,

Not sure on the code Atlas picked it out of a book of swatches will speak to spray shop tomorrow and try and find out.

Should be finished tomoz and all built up, how much is that first stone chip going to hurt!!

Cheers Mick

That does look nice, the bodyshop have done a good job. What was the orginal colour and what have you done about the engine bay, inside of the boot, inside of the doors etc?

Those dark rims and dark tints look awesome with the yellow paint work I agree that a front splitter would complete the look too. Also, those 22b vents are spot on.

good work

The car was black so no real issue with leaving engine bay alone.

Every thing else is masked off very neatley an inch in all around the doors, will take some pics.

With the car been black I guess you can get away with certain things if it had been green or red would of looked a bit fast and the furious.or possibly just a complete mess,

And thanks for the nice constructive comments

That's a very good job. My car is black and i've been thinking of a colour change for a while as the orginal paint work is getting tired (MY93 WRX). You're definately right that black would make it easier than say red or green. Pics of the inside of teh doors etc would be great.

Oh and how much was it.... pm me the price if you like.

Tony.

Love it, looks very cool. I agree that it would look better with a face lift front but defo get a splitter on it.
