Not a massive fan of the wheels tbh but thats just my decision, cant help but think that youve got such a hard colour to match up with.

what bodyshop you using as that white polo looks like someones tried to copy bigsexyrob's roof lol

Haha colour matching wont be a problem here mate, I'm having a full respray hahah, windows are coming out tomorrow :)

And the other polo is going the roof colour all over, you get better results if you spray the roof seperate from the body

Looks good Aaron . You keeping it Arden blue or colour change ? Them rims look tiny mate lol . Can't wait to see it back together . Dave

I dunno mate I'm torn between two colours - Arden or another :( I can make both work, but i think the one I'm thinking of as a change could potentially ruin the car :\

Rota's are 15's dude :)

haha its painted yea - bumpers, mirrors, grill surround are still yet yo be done.. then glass back in.. and shees back

Its gunna look identical to the pictures.. but it is a slightly darker blue than before but its only really noticable in person..

Whats happening with the car now Aaron ? Nearly finished yet bud ? Dave

So.. Its been 5weeks give or take for the car to get re-painted.. To this point, its still not 100% finished.. But these are some images of the job up until the latest stage..

Its taken a while.. but its so close at this stage.. Hope people like the jap spec 6n2 rear bumper. I now have a full 6n2 rear & interior convertion.

Next Update will be when the cars completely back together and back in my possession!

I like it mate , the rear bumper is nice mate , different for sure ? . What interior you got leather or the one trim ? I put the one trim in mine , finally got mine running right and the gearbox and clutch sorted , I'm carbon wrapping my roof today that should be fun lol . Well can wait to see it finished Aaron its looking spot on . Dave

Bumper looks custom made. Could be a modded 6n2 one?

Looks good!

Got the car back on the road today!!

Chucked the rota's on too to make it look pretty, i have to say.. they are the deffo best suiting wheels i could have chosen, work so well..

Just need to get rid of all those horrible 'ghost' swirls from where it was flat & polished now.. gotta funny fealing it aint gunna happen from what I've been told..

A few pictures of the finished article!

Just needs a good clean inside and a few coats of wax and ill be happy and will be able to stop re-building it back to its old shape

I wasn't sure about the rear bumper in the first few pics but this:

Looks great!

Check out the pics below for more on the rear..

Few more pics of the car today after a good 3 coats of wax..

Reflection in the bonnet..

And for some reason, this is my favorite picture ever taken of my car to date..

Next things to do.. clean the interior of all dust, put fogs back in, clean engine bay, re-wire mirrors, tweeters and stereo and then a few other little bits. Shall be back to normallity tomorrow i hope after getting the cars camber & tracking alignment sorted out once again..

Updates as they come..

Looks mint Aaron . Good work my friend . Dave

Ok I'm going to retract my statement about the wheels, remarkably they work and look ok...need spacing out which I'm sure you have on your list

car looks really good =D

I think seen as this is ''jap'' the last thing it needs is poke.... correct fitment on a nice shitvic nails it compared to poke for me.

not poke!!!! but just levelling out abit as they look a bit lost in the arches at the minute......must be a high offset, i always think a -20 with small dished wheels works

Now.. This update is full of disappointment...

Shall shart with some pretty pictures of it after a clean.. Shiney shiney!

Night Shot..

Dreaded MOT Day :( Took front & rear bumpers off so it could get onto the brake rollers, not having my fresh new bumpers smashing against the floor!

Now.................... :(

I'm fucking gutted.. Its been home less than two weeks.. and well.. Ill let the picture do the talking..

:( New door needed :\ fucking kid in a Nissan Navara reversed into it in a carpark, with a MASSIVE tow ball on the rear :(

So considering selling, nothing but shit luck with this car! :(

Updates soon...

WHAT?!!! That sucks mate. Such a lot of work and so many kicks in the teeth. Did it pass MOT?

No way man not again . Aaron you can't sell it bud you have done to much to it . Just get a door and fix it . Still it's looking sweet as . Dave
