jamesmark Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Well guys I finally got her back had her at JAE still have a few things to do to her, Kakimoto cat back that I got from Paul E and a second De-cat pipe from Martin at the Mkivstore. Well where to begin? Their has been a few threads about my car and the bad luck I have had with it, to cut a long story short and not to bore you all I bought the car and found out it had been in an accident and was badly repaired so it’s been on the jig to get straightened but is still not perfect, it had 235’s all round!! On a TT, new suspension new front nosecone as I lowered it and smashed the Top secret bumper so thanks again to Martin at the Mkivstore for the Blitz front, the side skirts were very badly fitted, so after a few months of getting her sorted and not being able to drive her as much as I would have liked too I got her a new respray too and here are some pics of before and after. She has been painted with a pearlescent black base coat and a glitter effect on top that will only react to strong sunlight/UV light/strobe light, sorry I cant get the camera to really pick it up but one of the photos shows it slightly just times that pic by 10, and went spoilerless incase you had not noticed. Sorry tried to host the pics but putfile not playing ball, so as you can see formt eh photo's have had the spats and skirts re fitted and totally blended in, had the Blitz logo painted on the front grill. Also got my lights refurbed by Jon (gzaerojon) which are brilliant, black with chrome rings. New Isotta handbrake and leather gaitor from Paul E. Had the dash painted the same as the car, and a new set of HID lights. Respray was done by Dodworth Motor Bodies JCT 37 M1 top bloke, great deals and a massive passion for doing things the way the customer wants anyone who wants a respray and not charged the earth just PM me. From respray to custom Dave at DMB can see to your needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Who did the respray? It looks rather orange peely in the close up pictures. Is that just in the lacquer and can be finished off/buffed out later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I needed the car in a hurry as family matters in Scotland so it got buffed after the pics were taken which was 2 weeks ago, its had its final buff down now just before JAE.

jamesmark Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 Interesting little fleck you have going on in that paint The fleck is nice mate, when i first saw it as a sample i loved it, but then i wondered if it would be too much for a car of this size but it looks amazing in direct sunlight and the supra's curves helps it a lot with different parts reflecting different ways, but in normal dull weather its a black car.
