fcuk1_6 Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 I need opinions, I've had my MY93 WRX for about 9 months now and don't know what to do. Ive had it all fixed up mechanically and it now runs perfect which has taken up most my cash reserve. Im now at the stage where I have a few options: 1) put on the bits Ive already got (22B spoiler, late model front bumper with fog covers and open grill) and get a cheap respray 2) sell it and try to get something quicker (bro in laws just bought a TVR tuscan and left me trailing) 3) get it kitted up with splitters etc (tastefully done, not tacky) and a nice respray at about 2k pounds (yet to decide colour), get 18s and go the whole hog but do it over a while. What you all think? Im so indecicive.
wrxmania Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 Is it scruffy enough it needs a full respray? Depends what you want the car for - looks alone then a combination of (1) and (3) otherwise, fit the stuff listed in (1) and get a decent partial respray on the bits you need - poor paint jobs are rarely worth it. Any pictures of the issues? "bro in laws just bought a TVR tuscan and left me trailing" - not in the wet he won't (or when waiting for the RAC) [] Brian []
craigwrx Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 You know the car, u have spent money getting it all sorted ...i would keep it and turn it into something special []
fcuk1_6 Posted September 5, 2006 Author Posted September 5, 2006 rusty rear arch, dent in front wing and on bonnet, few rust spots on roof of all places but if im getting all them done thought I might as well get it all done then I can change the colour. Ive been quoted 850 for full respray bar boot lining and engine bay in any factory supplied colour (not flip or candy) or up to 2k for full thing in just about any colour. Was thinking a bright (almost candy) green (seen on audi a3 but dont know if its factory supplied) or and orangey red pearlescent (as seen on suzuki swift) but other ideas would be appreciated. Fancy this splitter: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Subaru-Impreza-99-Do...1QQcmdZViewItem these side skirts: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUBARU-IMPREZA-93-97...1QQcmdZViewItem this rear bumper: http://www.businessvision.net/edge/Main.as...mp;PageNumber=1 (NO COPYING MY IDEA NOW)
wrxmania Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 £850 for a respray is quite cheap - I'd make sure I seen some of their previous work. Not really into any of those body parts, especially the front splitter [] What colour is the car - and what colour are you thinking? Brian []
fcuk1_6 Posted September 5, 2006 Author Posted September 5, 2006 its silver the now but want something a bit rarer and more eye catching, suggestions? I quite like to add bits that arent too fussy/busy looking and i think most those bits are quite basic and compliment each other.
st3ph3n Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 Fix the rust spots and spend the money on making it faster.
fcuk1_6 Posted September 5, 2006 Author Posted September 5, 2006 if anyone was kick-a** at photoshop it would be verymuch appreciated if they could pull all those bits 2getha (prob impossible) 2 see what itd look like in different colours.
