well the zx has been off road for way too long now and while its been off road some t**t decided it was there right to climb on the back of the car and break the rear spoiler so last weekend i have been a bit busy with repairs.

 

So on with a bit of fibreglassing back together

 

 

 

 

And then some sanding(well quite a lot of sanding)

 

 

 

 

and after a light coat of paint

 

 

 

quite a good bit of weekend time spent on car. also had some rust so now have a huge hole in drivers side sill to repair

 

 

 

so that should keep me busy for a while,lol

Yeah its standard AG2 red.

cheers, where did you purchase it ive been told before that halfaurds paint is oftena bad match

Halfords are a bad match, would stay well clear. I get my paint from a place called autopaint. There make a perfect match for almost any colour code you could think of, and there only £10 a can for proper 2pack paint mix.

sorry to litter your post does that come in a rattle can or do you need a paint gun/compressor?

You can get it in either. Although the rattle can is easier for touching up as you dont need to make the correct mix up that you would do to thin it for a paint gun.

Ave been sanding and filling again, but think im at about as far with the shaping as i can achieve.

Maybe time to try get a little help of a pro to just help with the finishing touches........... any takers ?????

I wish I could help you Dave but you know i cant someone on here will im sure your car needs to be back on the road matey

Well youv'e done a better job than me mate!:cool3:

Looking almosf ready for its respray now.

did you widen your arches or something? or pull them, out?

They were rolled out years ago, but now needs some arch flares.

Cant make my mind up on these.

After a trial fitting(electrical tape).

Arches are needed as the wheels catch as it is. But cant decide whether they suit my cars style or not.

 

 

 

 

 

Wheel Spacers required mate around 60mm will look good:thumbup1:

300 looks so good with them big dish alloys but not shure about the wheel arch extensions its hard to tell from the pics but it looks like they dont blend in well with your body kit imo.
