Re: TJHPunto's Red Sporting

lol, yeah i keep on finding random bits of cutting disk in my pockets and in random places in the garage. Melted plastic going on your skin is quite bad too

haha like sand from the beach

seems like im gonna be ragging war against them not just cutting them open

haha, its best to take your time, the cut is so messy on my first headlight (lucky its all hidden). Second one i did is beautiful cos i took my time and didnt get p*ssed off with it, may have something to do with the tinting spray fumes though .

Im thinking of retrimming my pillars, roof, arm rest and bits of dash in black suede next.

And ive ordered a supersprint and 8v centre as my exhaust is blowing a bit

i bought them off another seller who is not trading anymore :S but theyre the same. They look brighter in the pictures because of the lens flare but theyre really nice, you can see them in my avatar.

cheers mate

Maybe, the problem is i wont get an exact match on the paint and if something isnt done properly its not worth doing imo

what u got planned for the interior ?

all shall be revealed in time good sir Got a part from a different car delivered this morning and it fits perfectly . I'll update when its done.

PS major scrapeage is occuring with the spacers on, gonna roll with no rear seats untill i get the arches rolled.

Re: TJHPunto's Red Sporting

tbh mate i got the paint for my car on ebay and the colour(grey647) match was fantastic , yeah with your car being red i'd imagine is gonna be harder to get a decent match .

my local bodyshop quoted me about £50 to do the handles and mirrors so its not that dear to do , i was skint the time i done mine so thats why i done mine myself .


think i was about £20 all in for paint primer and lacquer so you could try it and see how it goes ,

car would look awesome with everything CC'd..

have a look @ my gallery and see the handles painted

Re: TJHPunto's Red Sporting

yeh it does look much better cc'd, i've already been to a paint specialist place to get their opinion on it they said it wont be that noticeable, i mite buy some spare ones and get them sprayed in the near future.

Ive only ever seen one other red sporting and it was for sale in a garage for £2995. dont think there is any on here, theres one on puntomk2 but he lives in some crazy country.

Re: TJHPunto's Red Sporting
