BeastyBlue Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 How much did it cost to get the bumper re-straightened and chromed? im looking into getting mine done. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I've just been quoted $400 for stripping and re-chroming a pair for a Mitsi GTO, sound a lot? Maybe that's what you have to pay these days? Cheers, Damo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Cool. Home paint jobs can work out well. It looks much tidier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlownCorona Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 cost 1500 for the damage to be repaired, not sure how much of that was for the bumper, but 400 for a pair sounds pretty damn good to be honest, and yeah home job is no different to a pro job if you find someone who knows whey they are doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridal Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Looks awesome man! Love the mesh on the headlights. Can I see some camber? Maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cullen Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 shit i remember this from years ago when robbie had it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 yep theres quite alot of camber in the front now, spaced out(inwards) the top wishbones about 15mm Not sure what kinda condition it was in when your mate had it (is he on here, username?) but from what ive heard, it was in good condition, then someone ditched the original engine and planned a rotor for it, then they guy i got it off put the more original 18r engine in and fixed it up a bit, but didn't do a very good job, and now ive put in quite a bit of effort to bring it up to standard.

Ridal Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Not sure about the driving lights though. I think they look a bit modern and take away from the nice chrome bumpers. If it were mine, I would keep the front as un-cluttered as possible. Just because it looks so mint by itself it would be difficult to add to it.

BlownCorona Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 yup, thats an old pic, still on the 17's actually, no more driving lights, though i do have a front lip, and an oil cooler to subtley mount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valiant Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Saw you today on the motorway. Good it's got a wof now. Get rid of those nasty rear tyres or at least clean the overspray off, Please. Your car looked good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 yeah new tires will happen when i get the cash together, and i really need to find a way to clean it off, i tried thinners but it didnt work.. any other methods? edit: it was also only out of a wof for a few days, didn't really expect it to fail, just felt like posting like the cool kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Have you talked to CUL8R? He's the man for tyre hook ups. Sand it off? or reverse the tyre on the rim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 i actually ran into him the other day, but he'll be my first stop when i find money in my account, didn't think of sand paper actually, a light sand should do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Mk1 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Did you do the tints in place or windows out? You will get better at it, im no pro but can lay a nice tint down. Just dont try doing a sierra wagon, fuck that sucked. Looking back i should have punched him for having an LPG sierra wagon. Aaaah high-school.

BlownCorona Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 had all the glass out, tints are fairly nice now and nothing at all to complain about for a total of 5 bucks and a few hours. painted a couple of the frame parts while they were out too. nicely tie in with the whole blue and black theme im running with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
