My project Log
-
Due to lack of work and therefore lack of funds.. shit stopped.
Tho now, it started back up.
Items picked up:
Eunos Floor Mats.
MX3 Floor Mats
Yellow Foggies
Mazdaspeed Rear spoiler
Wraparound Rear Spoiler
Side Skirts
JDM Front Lip
Lexus rear shit lights.
The car is now stripped as well, just a dash and 2 seats, not even the carpet under the seats. (Tho this is just to clean it)
I've looked at the wraparound and I really disliked not having the gap between the spoiler and the garnish, so I put the Raised one back on, tho the biggest kick in the teeth was if I wanted to use the Mazdaspeed, I'd have to lose the raised one as well… and to be blunt, that's not going to happen.
So both might go on sale again soon.
-
can you explain that last paragraph again, i dont get it, id be interested in the mazdaspeed one though
-
if you come to sell the rap around spoiler could you let me now as im after one for wes
car is looking good love the splitter
-
The Spoiler I have on there right now, has a gap between the back of the tailgate and the spoiler, (so looking out the inside mirror, I can see under the spoiler)
The wraparound is flat, no gap, which I hate.
The masdaspeed one, replaces the one I have right now, which I'm unsure of, I'd really like to keep both but that would mean I'd have to hack both apart to make them fit.
-
sell me the MS onbe then :wink:
-
Keeping it for now, until I find one like yours, to see how it looks as a pair.
-
im so confused, what one do I have? and which one does dj have, and whats the one on top of the original fit one in his sig pic? any pics of a ms one fitted?

Shes Clean!
Did noticed I'm starting to get peel on the roof :(
-
Many thanks Mr Postman
-
NO! The dreaded rattle can!
-
Just to cover the 6" square patch that I broke off the rear bumper :(
-
Post a pic up of bumper and let me have a look
-
Went to telford to pick up the bumper and found a nice little bargin in the process, it's not as damaged as it looked.
It has more of an indent coming from the grill then the one I have, but the only part damaged is in the past image.
Gulf..
-
Yeah, this is why I didn't want the bumper (umm, wait up, I'm ratting my car?). Oh, it was also due to the fact I need the spot lights to see where I'm going :lol:
-
Bit of heat and it should pop back out, it's unpainted as well, needs a good clean and some little fixes (like the mounting points) redoing but for £25 notes, I'm happy.
-
Damn, wish that had come up when I was doing
my bumper mod!
Hope you can sort it out :)

How you planning to tackle paint damaged bumper on car?? Bumper has obviously been painted before. Can you feather out edges where the basecoat and laquer has come off? Hopefully you can and the paint don't keep coming off when you rub it.
If I was doing the job I would:-
Feather out edges so there is no edge felt anymore
Rub down rest of area where you are going to do blow in with grey scotchbrite
Prime area where paint has failed, to seal it up
Guide coat primed area (this means spray a speckled black coat)
Rub down primer with 800 wet & dry until black has gone, then you know its flat
Quickly go over rest of area to be sprayed with grey scotchbrite again
Mask up and blow off/tack rag area
Puff in basecoat until covered
Laquer & fade out
Wet flat with 2000, cut and polish
Demask
DONEMake sure you scotchbrite a bigger area than you have sprayed it will polish up easier

I'll take a better look at it over the weekend, all ive' done so far is sand it down so it's smooth, with no flaky bits :)
-
I am glad that someone bought something I found lol, that will look good if you can straighten it out, plenty of heat and large weights should do that
