Big Mark Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Finally the day has come when my bodykit is being painted, can't wait. MVP front lip has been on the car unpainted since xmas, so the whole of the front bumper will be getting sprayed. OEM skirts Trial Rear bumper, which I have spent several weekend fettling. UK spec bonnet Might get my spark plug cover painted too. Fitted my Lexus wheels last month and had the window tinted so it will be good to finally get it looking exactly how I want!!

Big Mark Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 Not quite finished yet as going in to be mopped/polished in a week or two and then I need to get some Likwidart badges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mark Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 Looking good bigun. Thanks mate, When I brought all the bodykit I wasn't planning on having the wheels, red calipers or tinted windows, so it's now looking better than I ever imagined. Need a show or meet to show it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mark Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 Not sure yet. I've not thought that far ahead, plus it involves camping and I don't really do camping. What happened to the Midlands meet that was being talked about here http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?290614-Active-Midland-Members&highlight=members+midland? I was looking forward to a meet and spot to eat at Dean's (Tooquicktostop) pub in Hatton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Very nice indeed. I DO like a well-executed Trial rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mark Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Very nice indeed. I DO like a well-executed Trial rear. It was a labour of love, I bought a used bumper thinking that as it had already been fitted to a car it would be easy but it needed a lot of work as had been modified to suit previous owners needs, I got a fair bit of practice with filler and fibre glass. Plus I had the underside painted with a textured anti-stone chip paint rather than regular paint and am loving the textured finish. Bigun where did you get the uk spec bonnet ? I want one and oem side skirts. I bought the entire bonnet with vent fitted from a member on here, David P, but it's a J-spec that has been cut. That would be an easy mod for a man of your talents. OEM skirts are definitely the way to go, I'm loving the look. If you're free at some point over the weekend we can meet up and you can have a closer look if you want. Have you still got my number?

Big Mark Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Gave it a wash and wax tonight so took some more pics. I've decided that the Tailpipe on the Mongoose exhaust system is far too small so have got myself a 10 inch length of 5inch diameter stainless steel tube, all I need now is someone with the ablity to neatly cut stainless steel and weld. Current look. A rough idea of how it will look. I need to move back box slightly on new rubbers and may been to change the angle that the tip cones out.
