hi - the pics are deceiving! Needs to have the kit properly fitted and alot of attention on respraying bumper/ front/ kit. I have experience at spraying myself but this car needs a specialist. I bought it cheap so have the budget for a full well done respray (similar colour) so hopefully someone can help! I would attempt myself but the mrs would leave me!

Hmmm - being ex trade im always looking for a deal! The guys I know are all smart repair experts so wont extend to the lengths I require. I bought the car as it was extra cheap and love the blue but want the car to look as it deserves. Im not a perfectionist and only intend to keep it for a few years so budget is an issue!

I've had paintwork done on both my cars by BodyWorks in Camberley - 01276 709319. In both cases, I actually wanted more of the car painted and they talked me out of it - and given the results I'd say they were right.

 

They did the roof (glass out), rear spoiler, rear bumper and mirrors on the 964, and the entire front end (bumper, bonnet, both wings) and a small part of one of the skirts on the Supra. They charged me £500 + VAT both times and I'm very happy with the results.

'budget', 'specialist' and 'job well done' are very different things. From my experience, you tend to get what you pay for in terms of quality when it comes to bodywork/spraying.

Indeed you do and if I was keeping the car for a long term investment then I would spend the cash. Given the bad condition of the skirts/ bumper ive decided to remove them and replace with new bits to be resprayed. I think I will get the old kit and spend time getting it reinforced/ looking nice again then either add it to my Black Soop or sell it on. Thanks for the heads up though
