Nice one Matt 8-) Will look forward to seeing more pics :y :y
-
whats the plans mate?
-
long detailed job.. :y
my miggy stayed 1 month for paint.. :-?
-
Bet thats setting you back a pretty packet. But nice one.
Paul :y
-
very much looking forward to seeing the finished article , keep up the pics updates :)
-
Thanks for all your encouragement guys! :y
Yes, it is costing me but wtf - its my car, I love it (and Omegas anyway), and I want to make it even more 'mine'.
Cars been with them 10 days so far and looking like another 10 more - detailed job as you say cem)
Plan is:
Prefacelift Irmscher front bumper (with amendments)
Facelift doormirrors, external trim strips, rear bumper
Re-badged with irmscher detail
19" Black 'Jade-R' alloys (on already as you can see - the MV6 alloys already on a MV6 in Scotland)
The bonnet had to be replaced as someone had very kindly walked across it >:( and both front doors were rusty as f**k (both had had new skins not put on very well :()
More pics as I get them!
Matthew :) :) :y

looks very good..probably you know , dont use any paint protector or polish for sometime otherwise the paint hardening process (inside) will be delayed..
sometime : depends on the period the paint takes direct sunlight.. at least 2 months..

Oh Cheers Cem - didn't know that (although they will be putting on a protective layer (?auto glaze?))as a freebie.
Thanks for the info!

They told me not to apply anything like that for a good 3 or 4 months, but i had mine resprayed in october, so it didn't really have the sunshine to dry it out.
But by the look of it so far, they know what they are doing :y

Well that's me completely skuppered for the weekend. >:( >:(
Got the phone call from them last nite.
'not ready til next wednesday'
My opportunity to share my passion with loads of likeminded Vaux/Omega fans sunk in the water and straight to the bottom.
:'( :'( :'( :'(
Gutted! Absolutely gutted!
:'( :'( :( :( >:( >:(
I wont be coming in my poxy tin can of a courtesy car either (not an ABS club car either!)
So, having had the wind taken out of my sails completely, totally and absolutely, I will have to wait for another time.
I'm not even going to say that I'll be at the ABS meet at Duxford now just in case I get another 'phone call..........................
Just off to weep in a dark room......................
