ihave the autods front and back bumpers still ot be fitted and i can get a decent price on getting my door and wing fixed and basically full yellow respray , i know its a lot mroe extra work going into painting white , am i off my head ?

the autods kit i have and the colour i want or keep it all yellow ....

Have you seen one in the flesh? A white coupe I mean?

Ross

nope this is why im sceptical i think white nowadays is more modern when on audis and bmw's etc , not sure how a coupe would pull it off but i love the one in the autods pics


have you seen one ross and what did you think , i will always feel like i have done something wrong in a way if i resprayed it but 8 and a half years i need a change of car or change of colour

Reason I ask is because Simon on here has one (up in Ek) and you could always look at his before deciding?

Ross

White coupes look the dogs danglies, do it!

2nd that

Very quick idea of what a yellow Coop with the PIU bumper would look like. Hope this helps.

that made the decision even harder jkd good effort lol

I would keep it yellow. Maybe a metallic lambo yellow.

Plenty of (factory) pearl white ones here in Malaysia. To put things in perspective I've seen about 10-15 PW Coupes but not a single Sprint Blue one!

Used to think the white cars were awesome but now I think it's a bit boring. Too many white cars on the road as well I reckon.

I'd love white one go for it

White is the in-colour at the moment, but that will pass. Yellow is rarer now, I'd keep that!

Plus it stands out more

I would have to say keep the yellow, that yellow PIU bumper looks great! 80)

Having owned 3 Coupes that needed respraying at one time or another I have considered changing the colour on a number of occasions. My Scottie is now a bit scruffy but I love the colour when she is clean. I bought my Moon Grey when she had very little paint left, and after a full respray with Grigio Moon she is lovely. I also have a Sprint Blue that looks lovely from side-on but the bonnet and roof are lacquer-less, paint-less and love-less.

I wouldn't change the colour of any of them, but I would love to own one in Lambo Green or Orange... if I ever get foolish enough to buy another one I would go this way. The mechanicals have to come first though, so I'm waiting for my lottery numbers to come up. A total colour change is a big job (with all the stuff inside the car)... wouldn't go for white though; too many vans around (including mine!)

Tim

decided on polar white now after meeting with the guy tonight im in two minds now though lol

You meet up with Simon?

Ross

How much is respray if you don't mind me being nosesy

Don't know how much the_g is paying but I was quoted £2k for a full respray.

Ross

But that must be a proper windows out job etc ?

I'd hope so.

Ross

£2K would be minimum for a proper job... you can get it done for half that, but the quality won't be as good. It also depends if you have metallic paint or not.

1400 hundred its a friend who built a massive garage at his home and does homers hes got a guy to cut an refit all the windows doing the full job guys a perfectionist so im pretty happy i got the price down to that

Spill the beans mate - would he do another for that?

Ross

doubt it hes a life long friend , but i could ask him, he takes ages as he is extremely thorough and does it at home after his own work

taking out all rubbers and door checks locks etc to ensure no over spray or old paint shows getting a guy who removes and refits the windows etc top notch painter

best wait a couple of weeks and i can get pics up or meet up and you can see for yourself how good it is

I don't need it done just now, but id be interested at a future point.

I'll definitely meet up with you once it's done.

Ross

no problems ross i will give you a shout and meet up once its finished hes organised the glass guy an strip down on monday so i might nip over now and then too take pics etc as it goes

Good idea - I'm free the now if you want me to come with?

Ross

not yet mate hes not took the car yet , taking it sunday night guys starting on the windows on monday then hes stripping all the cards rubbers etc rubbing down filling and smoothing anything that needs it and redoing the sideskirts etc

will give you a shout mid week and we can go keep an eye on him and my baby lol

White Coupe - what a eye pleasure....
Being Ferrari fan i never thought that if i had my car for respray, it will be any different color but red.....but that's changed few months ago...

i think white makes it a bit more modern looking and still keeps the styling i always loved

looks very nice G .

cheers nismo crap pic i just took a quick one while i was round at my mates container an the rain had stopped for a few minutes

will get some better pics posted up later

Looks great in white with the kit!

seeing the kit on the autods website in white made me want to change the colour , that and a change has made it look alot fresher and modern i think

Looks lovely G, certainly hits the spot

Lol thanks Theresa , will get a mate with a decent camera to get a better pic once I give it a good wash an wax and new wheels on it

Gigaddy

What spot does it hit, G?

Ross

The wallet spot painfully, burst my second braided brake hose on Monday its getting fixed just now if you want I can catch up with you to let you see it

Nice, bring on the better quality photos...

Looks ace. How much did it cost to have the full respray.

1400 for getting everything stripped out windows doors replacing damaghed door and wing redoing my skirts and filling and smoothing them and fixing a rust spot on the back edge under the lights and fixing some scratches from the accident

he done it as a homer in his garage , which is bigger than his house lol think i got a fair deal im over the moon with it i just need to get new wheels to finish off the outside

Bargin mate. your laughing there

My favourite colour for a coupe, very nice

yeh i done well , very very minor niggles nothing to actually bother about especially for the workmanship an price im well chuffed
