Thanks for the pics Icy, they look great. I am goin to get the boot flushed. U r right about the front bumper, after we had put the bumper on we noticed that we hadnt got enough laqure on the sides of the bumper and it is wearing off!! After taking the side strips off, it really does need a respray. Just got 2 get enough money 2gether. Thanks for all the good coments though.

looks smart mate, after seeing your wheels, and getting my new ones on and not liking them as much as the old ones, now know what to look for to go with the kit, some nice big chunky 5 spokes.

Looks well fitted but POORLY sprayed.
Great colour match, but very dull finish. Looks like it could do with a good t cutting up, and that could look excellent.
However with the laquer on, i dont no wot effect this will have

however he saved himself like a grand. my spraying isnt perfect, but i have saved about 5 k worth of labour on my car by doing everything myself so i dont care if its not body shop standard.

Thanks Kris TD
I am well happy with the way it has turned out. If i took it to a show u could c it straight the way, but from a distance driving around u cant tell. By the shows nxt year it will have a had a respray. I hadnt got the money to have the welding done, so i thought there is no point in spraying it twice, ill do it once my self then when the weldings done have i sprayed by a pro. I need time 2 save up 4 the engine, ice and 19s!

The paint is dull. It needs a some kinda cutting then polishing up.
Fair douz bout saving money.........but i could save £100's gettin my spoiler/grill etc done on my pug, doin it with cans from halfords, but it wud look dull etc.
When u fit a kit as loud and big as that, i'd prefer it to be pretty much spot on. And it very nearly is, just lost its shine for some reason :s

If theres a clearcoat you should (if you've got enough clearcoat on) be able to sand with 2000 grit and buff up to shine like mad..
Have you got an orange peel effect or is it really smooth?

nobodies getting jealous kris td, hes stating a point from how he see's it, if he didnt want the constructive criticism, then he shouldn't ask for peoples views!
but my opinion is to say its a DIY jobby it looks well, but if you want rob and the colorworx lads do ya a respray,u wont be dissapointed with his work
