Default My RB5 and Dr colourchip results

I have recently bought an RB5 no 95 which was/is in need of some tlc.

I have refurbed the alloys(diy) and I am happy with the results for £30 of paint and sprayed the calipers.

The front bumper and bonnet have the usual stone chips so I invested in the Dr colourchip paint application. See the very good results below.

Also fitted is a H+S full sytem, performance creations flaps, smoked side
repeaters and a Green panel filter. (lots more to come)



front bumper-before



front bumper-after



bonnet- before



bonnet-after



What do you think?

Looks good Bob. How are you finding the RB5 now that you've had some time to get used to the characteristics of the Classic? Ever go back to a Newage?

The paint code for the RB5 is 86F (Bue Steel)

As they have made mine, the way is paved for all other RB5's and Imports with the same colour.

The car certainly seems more raw and the difference in the weight is very obvious.

The suspension is a bit wooly and the brakes do not have the stopping power of the Brembo's but I am really pleased with the car so far and any other mods will just improve it further.

Yes I would go back to a newage (when I draw my pension)

Looks very good and I'll certainly be placing an order. Roughly how far does the 'road rash' kit go, e.g. is any left over from doing the bonnet and bumber?
Cheers

It's actually a very small pot, about 3" high but it has done the bonnet a couple of times, the bumper twice also and there is still half the pot left.

(I did around the bottom 3rd of the bonnet and most of the bumper)

Looks really good. I've a couple of small scratches and one on the wing mirror, and the paint is chipping off the scoop a little, so reckon I could be getting some sent. Just need to go and find what my colour is officially called - guess "blue" isn't sufficient

For your info..................The kit is $59 and $26 shipping plus and extra $18 for something, (perhaps import duty) total around $103 = £50. Payable by Paypal.

A group buy would be the best idea which should save a few £'s on p+p.

Should be 48hrs although if they haven't got your paint available there may be a delay. Bill should contact you if there will be a delay.
