Coop back from bodyshop today. . . . .. pics!!

hi guys ive had the coop resprayed and bodywork made "Mint" Im pickin it up this evening so am gonna be taking photos when i get to bodyshop so will post them up later tonight for you all to see. .. .

omg im soo excited Roll on 6 o'clock (when i pick it up )

How much did the job set you back & how long did it take ?

Come on! You can't keep us in suspense for this long.
We want lots of pics..........

sorry guys its just its been pissing down with rain since i picked it up and collected some dirt and dust on way home so dnt really want to take pics when like that grrr. . . but will get some taken soon as weather down my way gets better one thing will say is the sprayer colour coded my whole mirrors as i said didnt mind either way and i prefer it now its done looks real good. . . .


Pics will follow soon . . .. i promise

well tbh i got an awesome deal as i know the bloke matt quite well not like best mate well but i know him and asked him how much to do in his own time as its his business aswell for cash in his pocket!!

he needed it 3 fri days so 2 1/2 weeks and charged me £650 that was evrything bar the roof as he said it will machine polish up like new anyway. that waa sorting out a few little dents and a weird little ripple on the crease of passengers door. .

im well chuffed with job for only £650

That's a good price I would say. Looking forward to seeing the finished car.

Kind of ironic that the your paintwork was done by a guy called Matt. Does he live in Glossteshire?...Is he Polish?

Sorry, I'll be off now............

no he doesn't and no he isnt lol

as soon as this weather gets better i promise some pics. . . .

I am not being funny Luke but you can't tease us like this!

GET THOSE PICTURES POSTED!!!!!!!

Finally some pics. . . . sorry there only outside my house but look on "oxford meet" threads in Social events & meets section for more of my coop

hope u like

That des look so so nice, mine is the same colour and has the same bodykit except i have the piu front bumper, but i wish i could have mine resprayed, that really does look shiny. How much did it cost???

Niiice

Very very nice

Is that a new fiat bonnet badge as well?!

Looks and sounds better in the flesh...

Still can't believe that respray was only £650. And you never did say how much those seats weigh.

Stunning! I'm very jealous!
One thing I would do though is get some new number plates, they look a bit dated.

all in progress . . . .not sure the weight "welformed" will try find out

Lovely paint job; looks very good value for money.

Looks just as good in the flesh! (See the Oxford meet thread for more pictures)

That only cost £650 to do, i have to get mine done sometime. Did you have all the door shuts done and engine bay, stuff like that or just the main bodywork.

what wheels you got there matey ?

They look like OZ Record's to me, very nice wheel, did they need a spacer.

Following a sneaky peak at the Oxford meet I can confirm there was a nice (10mm at a guess) spacer fitted.

Indeed, it is a very nice all-round Coupe.

Only spoiled but that unsightly pin dent next to the fuel cap

So is £650 a normal price for a full respray??

Luke did you have all the door shuts done, and any other parts.

650 usually just about covers a decent bonnet job, nowt more.

hedge - did you get yours done in the end?

a DECENT respray should cost upwards of £1500, and over £2k of they are removing bumpers and glass to do a full job.

Dropped her in today actually, Rog. Back in around 4 weeks.

Terry (that you recommended) is replacing every piece of leather inside too.

Tidy bill, all round.....gulp!

no door shuts not done basically whole outside of car apart from roof becasue thought it wouldnt need doing but now it does lol so will be going back in. . ..

Guys i only got it that cheap because i know the guy and it was done in his own time for cash in his pocket b4 people start trying to slate what sort of job has been done etc. . . .

£650 just for bonnet respray??? your getting mugged off then lol

Mine was Around 1400 ish if i remember correctly??
No door shuts done tho just whole body... was well chuffed with job tho!!! And i changed colour from blitz to electric blue!!

i see you didnt get the intercooler powder coating like you where saying you would have to?

Dnt get me started yellow coop trying to be smug. .

if you look close enough you will see its not the grubby one you sold me and its the pro alloy one which come with the car!!!! when i bought it off akeme bout 4 weeks ago now. . . .
after replacing the 2 silicone hoses which were missing from urs i sold it on to another memebr for reasonalbe £200 after the 2 hoses cost me £58 to replace to make "whole kit" again. ..

dnt u just love it when sum1 tries to be clever and it backfires and they look a ****.

LOL Calm down, wernt you trying to be a smart arse on my Coupes Forsale Thread?

Give abit, Take abit...

now good paint job... sounds like you got a complete bargain on the labour front...

mine cost 3000ep,with tinted windows and chngh of color, all-so painted the pilers and mirros base black-piano and made the color strips brushed as alumnom.
pic soon as car is all-most ready

p.s-Im in Israel

seen ur other thread coops looking good buddy!! i think 5 spok wheels like the type mine are in gloss black on your coop along with ya black bits here and there and tinted windows would look lush but thats just my taste may not be urs tho oh and shiny white/black calipers
