After the "pounding" i took at the weekend for the state of my coupe, im gonna give up my attempts at TOTB and get it sorted.

What should i get?

Im planning on using the postert rear spoiler and the lister front grill. What bumpers and skirts should i get?

I was thinking about postert skirts and stnd rear bumper, but not sure what to get as the front one.. cada?

Ross

you'll want one with good flow for your cooling, you mentioned the piu which i think would be good.
mad car man has one of those front grills for sale.

Ross, glad you finally came to your senses

PIU rear on the yellow coop looks fantastic I think..

Mariusz u tease...

Ross

Yeah think your right... i had contacted him about it, but ronnie has one for sale aswell (well one in his shed ) so i've nabbed that

Ross

If youre going for a spoiler I think the cada one would look good on your car, dont like the postert spoiler.

edit, i got mixed up with the postert spoiler, not the one i thought it was. go for it

given in to peer pressure have we ross

i'm quite suprised by your decision to be honest!

the PIU front and rear bumpers look great, but would mean changing your exhaust!

Which is something i've been thinking about anyways, as its MEGA loud in the car....i can go back to the place and get them to re-route the exhaust into a twin exit with some silencers..

Ross

Now thats not totally true is it Ross...it just sounded like you were in a space shuttle when i called you


Phill

No spoiler please Ross, the coupe looks awful with a spoiler

That rear end shot from Mariusz looks great, combined with a PIU front bumper and LE skirts would look lovely on a banana coupe

going for the piu rear myself with those zorts, looks sex wee

I'll trial fit the spoiler and see how it looks. I have it already and sprayed but never fitted.

I think im gonna stick with the le skirts actually.. save some money aswell.

Ross

Thought you had the zender kit on it now Ross ?

Had zender front and rear valance and le skirts.

Rear valance sold to mabr.

Skirts damaged by dropping off kerbs

Zender damaged from when my wheel came off and i smashed into the verge.

Front wings paint peeling off and front of bonnet has a bend in the front section and small dent above the badge.

Rear light surround is needing repainted aswell.

So basically full respray.

Ross

are you going to de-badge the bonnet?

Think that would be advisable?

Ross

If youre getting a full respray, why not? It would look good.

Anything else i should do?

Ross

Forgot to add that garage who removed the old engine dropped the bonnet on my a-pillars and scratched the a pillars quite bad...

Ross

i'd go vented wings if i was going for a full respray

Oh yeah. Forgot about them. I have bought some, from someone on here, but havent got them yet.

Ross

probably madcarman, he sells them

maybe get the b pillars colour coded, there was a blue on posted up with this done

The little M3 style lip spoiler on the boot is the only one I would consider.

I dont like that at all, looks completely wrong IMHO

Anyone know the height of the piu bumpers in comparison with a zender and stnd rear?

Ross

The same i think Ross. Mine is a PIU and looks the same height as Mattys. I also have zender skirts and they line up fine so dont worry about the height.

Also the rear is fine without any sort of extension.

But clearly, my one looks better.

Mrs MABR will be very pleased with your decision Ross as she couldn't believe the state of your coop after I'd talked it up so much. I was on about the performance and completely forgot to mention the condition of the bodywork.

Good luck with your final choices mate.

Lol.

All the comments come out now

Least you all cared enough not to mention before

http://www.tvrcc-south-yorks.co.uk/images/jpg/gallery/Dot.jpg

This is the kinda colour i want to get.

Ross

Oooooo...thats the car and girl i want to get!

Sitti do you hear that............shocking.


Today's young generation I tell you


But can the lady in the car take photos??


Ross take your time and build up all the parts first, that way you only pay for one spray job.

Got a feeling you cars gona look good next time.

That Tamora's looking good. I think the colour is "Halcyon Midas Pearl" - just to make it easier to track down for you h2ypr

that's a nice colour

Thanks Neal.

To save money, the bodyshop will probably source a similar effect paint

Ross

Dulux

One Coat

Good to hear your going to give the car the treatment it deserves, I do like that Chrome Yellow

Thought a picture might show you better atually - http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c349/Franko86/DSC00080.jpg

Dan

I dont want megane colour, even tho the link doesnt work.

Ross

Ross, is there noone on this forum who you know whos based at a RAF station up in Scotland, i got my skirts, front and rear bumpers fitted and sprayed for £80!

And its a perfect job

Ross

Ill make a phone call when im back on camp...




Phill

No comments?

Ross

Please don`t tell me that was your Coop getting a trial fitting in that pic .

How would you get into your tools with that spoiler on anyway ,you can`t get them all through the ski hatch .

Baz

Lol. Thats the problem. U needed to see that spoiler on the car tho.. it actually was quite smart... he had it lying around and thought we'd put it on for a laugh

Ross

http://forum.alfa145.com/index.php?...amp;act=attach&type=post&id=5543

Nick

nice find jaip, love the house of kolor colours

not cheap but if you are going to do it i would pay the extra.

and probably will one day.

No offense, but i wouldnt call house of kolor doing it properly. But i appreciate the input and example of the colour.

Quick question people....

Rear bumpers.

Are they generally the same height as the standard ones?

Ross

Mariusz just informed me its 8-10cm lower

Ross

i was always under the impresion that house of kolor is a quality product.

is that incorrect?

Its better than using a halfrauds spray can....

Ross

another yellow. From the MG Monogram Paints

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w15/J20PTJ/1sunspot.jpg
http://gallery.mg-rover.org/showphoto.php/photo/6990


or you could just paint it broom yellow

Yeah that is an option, broom yellow

Ross

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b176/h2ypr/All%20pics/640by480.jpg

What about this colour?

Ross

yep you cant beat green grass.

ive been thinking about colours alot and cant work out if i would change the colour or not.

I bought mine 1) because its a fiat coupe, and 2) because its sprint blue.

so if i didnt want it in that colour i shouldnt of bought it.

i know what i mean.

i think broom yellow nice and fresh with piu front, zender side, pui rear with a bit of carbon and a nice exhaust set up would be

Well i think i might go zender skirts as i know someone else will have nearly the same setup, if i go LE.

Ross

I've always thought LE for light colours and zender on dark colours works best...

agree'd

It has been decided.

New kit paid for to Maruisz. Big thanks to him for his patience. I was supposed to buy this stuff from him in feb...

Ross

Thanks a lot Ross..

so what you go for ross
