add heywood Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I'm seeing what other people have paid roughly (pm if you want) to have new front wings and rear fenders and then painted, if anyone has had a wider bodykit on their car. I am thinking of getting the full Ridox arches but need to work out fitting and painting costs. Colour would be 040 white. Any help appreciated edit: just a price on fitting and paint, I would supply body panels... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 How you want to fit the kit? i also was thinking about buying the arches of barney but funds for me are tight as the car is with Lee. I had the idea of flushing the rear arches in, alot of work but will eliminate the stuck on ready to race look, which i dont like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Think I paid in the region of 100 quid for each fender to be painted and a bit of repair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
add heywood Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Would ideally like the flush look, although Orido himself just rivited it on from what I remember... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Well the fronts are complete wings? so just a paint and fit (if they fit nice) Rears blended into rear quarter, i would recommend to paint both rear quarters and roof and blend into doors, white aint a bad colour to work with though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
add heywood Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Over £1k...? edit: Yes front's are full wings... How are the wings on a Supra held on? Bolted or welded?

jim Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 As a rough rule of thumb (depending on who you go to obviously and how good a job you want/need) then it's £150-£200 per panel painted, although as Rob's said you're probably into painting the two wings, two quarters, rear bumper and roof, with a blow in on the doors so you're only really getting away without painting the front bumper, bonnet and boot-lid. With the filling and sanding to blend the rears in I'd have thought you'd be easily over the £1k mark bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Over £1k...? edit: Yes front's are full wings... How are the wings on a Supra held on? Bolted or welded? bolted on mate, so no drama unless the ridox dont fit nice. Alot over that price i would have thought, the only thing your not painting is tailgate, bumpers and bonnet. Rivet look can still be done, just paint the arches and fit them, sometimes with white, fresh paint against old can make the old look creamy By the look of the kit it needs ridox sideskirts which was another reason i bailed out, as i like do-luck sides, which will be my next body change when the time comes Edited January 4, 2012 by Rob_Mitchell (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Yeah i thought you had but was not 100% sure to have posted and looked a fool. bolted and riveted might be a good option, would look VERY track ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has the rear wing off Barnybrendans car now so looks a bit meaner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I cant be hard mate, just get the arches and wings painted then offer them up and mark through the holes, then drill and rivet..... depending on how they offer up, i would use some nice sikaflex on the arches and then rivet them on. its only the rear arches the front wings are direct bot on jobbies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I bought my front wings new from Toyota and they were a little over £100 each, and the same again for painting (they'll need to be blended back into the doors), they fitted like a glove though obviously and they just bolt on. If you looking to blend the rear fenders in then the price will go up by alot, but i agree with Rob, if you did it, you'd need to spray both rear quarters, the roof, both doors as you'll need to blend it in front and back for the fenders and wings and also blend it into the rear bumper i would imagine. I paid £800 to have some work done recently (040 white), judging by the difference in work i'd say yours would come to around £1000-12000, not including the price of the wings.

add heywood Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Would save alot of money from the blended look I suppose... And be more "true" to the Ridox design. The skirts, front bumper, trd spoiler sides on my car have all obviously been painted and seem the same colour as the original paintwork, I actually had one of the rear quarters blown over a couple of years ago when I scraped the car getting it in the garage and you couldnt see any colour mismatch, even in dull light.

barneybrendan Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) the front fenders fit perfectly and lines are equal so would just need rubbing down paint filler ect and bolted on.All the bolt holes line up perfectly.The rear fenders you could do yourself ,best way i thought was to fit rivet nuts then the arches could be taken back off and painted then just bolted back on.Was going to use stainless alan key head screws.the places to rivet through on the arches are stepped in and flat same as many rivited arches.once you fit the rears over your skirts and happy .have another pair of hands and tape them into position.once totally happy drill through the arch and through t5he body of the car.Then fit the rivet nuts into the body and send quarters off for paint.

My colour match isnt great in places because it had a blow over in Japan before it came over and they didnt take the kit off to do it. The laqcuer they used has got a yellow tinge to it as well. Ive got to take mine back in the new year to have the rear bumper and rear quarters sprayed and blended into the roof and doors and it should be mint. All in i'm looking at about £1500 altogether though with what ive paid so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 If you plan on blending it I would just get a full re-spray. I doubt there would be much difference in the cost of getting it all done vs getting it patched & blended properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneybrendan Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Dont forget you would need to blend the rear bumper aswell as they wrap around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
add heywood Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Tbh I couldnt justify spending £2.5k on buying and fitting/painting... And the paint on the car is in very good condition anyway so wouldn't really like painting the whole car just for the fenders. I'll have a look into the riveting option. Next question in tech if anyone wants to help is wheel spacers and torque/bhp figures. With the wheels coming out 50mm each side how would I stop the tyres rubbing on the oem rear arches?

Rob_Mitchell Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 if your just going for the rivet look then it wont cost a lot £600? maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
