We fitted the car with:
Bomex Replica Front
Toyota Replica Sideskirts
Veilside Replica Rear spats
Toyota Late spec front lights
Japan spec clear light bulbs
Toyota Late spec rear lights
RING Foglamps
Blitz Nur Spec R
Envy De-cat Pipes
HKS SQV
Racing Hart CR 18"
The skirts and spats have blended into the bodywork as you can see :)
Car has been professionally colour changed (including the engine bay painted black) to Porsche Midnight Blue.
This has all been done on site here at Envy in Bedlington - give us a call if you want a similar project undertaken.
Regards,
Gareth.
Wow! Very nice. Massive improvement.
Ro must be very happy.
I like what they've done with the rear spats.
That looks a quality job from those pics:thumbs:
Only thing I would fault is the rear No. plate, needs to be full 'UK' depth :)
Looks a completly different car, much better than white imho
Paul
WOW what an improvement, it looks awesome:cool:

We haven't - I just made that up :p
Removed...
Gaz.
Looks v. nice!
I'm betting the middle numbers of the reg are 9... 5... and last number 2? :innocent:
:looney:
Wow! What a difference!
Gaz - can you replace the rubbers and seals etc as well?
I'm seriously thinking of buying a TT & getting complete re-spray with a different colour. Do you take out all the windows etc?
What problems are there with the blended in skirts? Do they crack easily if you give them an accidental kick or slight knock?
Also, what sort of cost (roughly) for the fitting of bodykit, blending skirts & complete respray (windows etc out the lot!) I'm trying to work out if I've got enough. I guess it's at least £2-3k, or am I miles away!?
This is just beautiful
http://www.envyperformance.com/images/oct04pics/ro/DSC00552.jpg
Yeah looks great, the only thing it needs sorting (apart from the plate ;) ) imho is a new cream/white interior!
Awesome work guys :thumbs:

The rear windows had new seals - all the glass was removed.
The blending is very durable, if you had a rear bump though you might find they crack depending how you want them blended.
Its at least £2k + VAT for a respray of this quality, not inc blending.
Thanks for the words guys, I am sure Ro will be over the moon.
That is an amazing colour - I didn't even realise it was blue until I got halfway through the photos. Very nice indeed :thumbs:
cheers for all the nice words folks :D :thumbs:
i'm more than made up with the colour and the work done, can't see any blemishes anywhere!
Bobbeh - i know what you mean about the interior...... must resist for now though due to bein broke :innocent:
Anyone thinkin of usin Envy for a respray - get it done, you know you want to :D
it's a shame the sun weren't out when the pics were taken, the midnight blue's a pearlescent colour but it is almost black when the lights not on it :D

Hey, your car looks superb, I'd be happy with it :D Maybe the interior just gives you something to look forward to/work on in the future - ya know? :)
Have you sent the pics to Rob Moch? :D
Thats a huge difference!! Very good!! :thumbs:

haven't sent them to him no, i've texted him saying they're up if he wants to have a look at them. think he might cry though, he prefers them standard :p :D
Do you have any of the engine bay ?
just to see how the pait job switches from one colour to another.

A lick of paint makes the world of difference - and good choice in colour !
The Supras I have had before had yukky interiors - I agree on the idea of retrimming the seats and interior in grey :)
Now you have yer pride and joy setup - dont break it ! The worst sound in the world is the cracking of faring and the crunching of sideskirts on concrete :(

I knew I had one somewhere, as I took one specifically to show that:
http://www.envyperformance.com/images/oct04pics/DSC00564.jpg
:)
Looks lovely and a nice choice of parts. I'm sure the colour looks even better in the flesh with the sun on it, like mine dark (ish) blue's are hard to capture in a picture.
Pleased to hear Kev/Gaz and the Envy team looked after you from start to finish, a better advert for the company would be hard to find:thumbs:
Enjoy:)
How the hell did they paint the engine bay? There's no way they would have 'oiked the engine out, but if they didn't wouldn't there be overspray all over the place? (Or maybe brush strokes)
Looks like it's a proper job though! I may well end up giving you a call for some bodywork at some point guys.

thanks Sheena, a top quality job and i'm more than happy with ENVY :D it's a shame that some git had to scratch it, it's half way between the bonnet vent and the front wing and is about a foot long! gonna give it another go and see what happens :flame Dev
It looks fantastic.
I now know where to go and get the respray and body kit done.
Far in the future ;)

since the work was done by ENVY, they're also supplied and fitted me with an RPS Street Sport clutch, Phillips blue vision lamps and the Nur Spec (which went on brand new when the car was resprayed and is now for sale ;) ) has been replaced with Kevin's Amuse R1 Titan exhaust, will try and update this thread when the weather's better to take some more pics :D
once again, ENVY have been quality! :thumbs:
hiya , how much u selling it for ?

Only thing I would fault is the rear No. plate, needs to be full 'UK' depth :)
Actually some Police forces demand that you put on this plate (the one in the photo) at the rear instead of the Bike sized one many of us have.
Checked DVLA, we are not exempt even with import cars, we have to have UK plate sizes. Exemption must meet 2 criteria, Import AND cant fit UK plate sizes. We can. So all those with jap plates (Bike sized square) you might be asked to replace them (as I was) coz the Police cameras (OCR) have a problem reading them (Gutted !) ;)
hiya , how much u selling it for ?
hiya mate, jsut to clarify the Nur Spec was for sale, not the supe :D sold the Nur a while ago now though :D
Got any further with the scratch? or is it one of those bastard deep ones?
Sucks to hear that.. must have been gutting as your car looked (and still will) rocking :cool:

Looks mint mate
Its blue.....................:D
Its blue.....................:D
how very observent of you :D you're thinkin of gettin a different coloured car aren't you :eyebrows:
how very observent of you :D you're thinkin of gettin a different coloured car aren't you :eyebrows:
LOL. Colour is very important, why did you go for that colour? :clap: Great colour for the supra, I can't do blue I'm afraid. Owned two blue cars in my lifetime, one was a hyundai accent and was pretty shite and the other got driven into at 50mph head on and that was the end of that! :shrug:
well at first it was gonna be the standard green, then i was thinkin candy reds and blues, RSP etc. Then i saw a pic of Jake's Ragethunderstorm job and wanted that -was worried i was becomin ancient like him and gettin similar tastes! :p in the end i wanted something which no one else had and i was likin the blueness of RSP but i also thought supe's look best in dark colours. so A + B = dark blue. then literally a minute later a dark blue porsche went past so i thought i'd investigate and went to a porsche dealer at the liverpool docks. had a nice chat with the bloke who worked there, he said it was a standard metallic colour, looked great stood next to a GT2 in midnight blue. got the details and decided on that.
the bonus was when i was gettin the repsray sorted, had told Envy it was just a metallic colour. get a phone call off Huntley - it's a pearlescent colour which needed quite a few more coats, would do it for the same price anyway :kneel:
the only problem with the colour is it's like my hall way carpet - dark blue and impossible to keep clean. haven't had a time really where it's been freshly polished and the sun's been gleamin on it - hopefully JAE might be the day! :D
phew!
and sabrina - were you doing your make up while tryin to paint your nails resulting in the 50mph head on? :D
So you saying that the colour of the car was very important :thumbs: :tongue:
and sabrina - were you doing your make up while tryin to paint your nails resulting in the 50mph head on? :D
um, no make up, no nails, just have remarkable timing - I was just exiting a roundabout as other party decided to overtake, 50 yards away from said roundabout on a single track road. [Who incidently turned out to be uninsured, not taxed etc] :clap:
lol you know how to pick them :D take it you ended up out of pocket? and colour is important to an extent..... if you have a white supra you wanna get it a different colour ASAP!
:hide: from Jake and Whitesupraboy2 :D

:hide: from Jake and Whitesupraboy2 :D
out of pocket for 2 1/2 years.Then finally got compo = £7k for which I totally wasted, in fact I think the only thing I have to show for it now is a double bed :stickpoke . Didn't pay any of the debt of I acquired in replacing stuff which was destroyed as a result of the accident [my car was written off etc]. still paying it off now, so I guess I am out of pocket. But shite happens, and I did enjoy spending it. :nyah:
You know I don't mind the supra in white. Get some stock skirts on the car, lower it, and add big alloys it looks pretty tidy IMO.

:love: :hug:
aye but thought i might as well get a respray done while gettin a bodykit put on :D a car that does look really nice in white is an R34 GTR.
was worth it all though for the price Envy did it for :D

They clawed back the lost profit doing a half-arsed job on my paintwork.
Please don't feel guilty though.

Fair enough!! Skylines look really good in white definately. Probably the best colour for them I think. The R34 was responsible for my initial love of japanese cars :respekt:

Please don't feel guilty though.
Just seen this, sorry to say Michael but i think you're being totally unfair now. There's about 5 or 6 seperate digs you've had about this repair job. I've seen your car a couple of times since the repair job and i thought it looked really really tidy. Did you ask Gaz or Kev to sort out any niggles after you examined the car? If you did i'm sure they would of until you were happy enough to drive the car away and end the work on your car. There were things i asked Kev to sort (in addition to the job being done) and he pestered his paint man to the point of them falling out, he made sure it was all done though.
