Did it take them long to get it prepped and sprayed Tom?

Well he took it on a monday evening... done the prep work himself in his own garage at home... fully sanded, filler for the small dents smoothing... then we left on that friday evening for the sprayshop where he works.. went over on the saturday to watch, just out of curiousity.. took pics etc... that was all day, with 2 coats, and 2 coats of laquer... then baked for whatever the set time is.. and then i left it there until the following friday.. i left it as i was away with work, but it was ready to collect on the monday after the paint and baking had been done on the saturday previous so all in all..... a little over a week. It was a top place.. a ferrari was getting a touch up after he´d had it 5 months due to stone chipping... ahem ahem...many class cars there, yet sitll a very cheap price... compared to the UK/Ireland.

Might have to pop over then and get mine done Does look very nice mate :D

If your genuinely interested, let me know.. he´s a mate so thats why he preps at home.. cuts cost etc... done a top job... i was very nervous before hand, not knowing what standards are like here.. i think its why he invited me to watch him do the spraying.. haha... if you can take the time, worth the trip... (in my opinion)

True enough, though i saw on that link Aido gave me... theres a "bug panel" you can buy to protect the front of the car... now theres an idea.. its ugly as hell, though im sure it can be painted to look abit more appealing.. is the IS300 chasis the same as the 200, when searching for bodykits... lip kits?

Think some of the skirt parts are a different lengh/size for the is300 mate, Boddamloon brought a kit for his is200 that was made for an is300 and it woudnt fit due to different sizes? Have you had a look for Altezza kits?

Well been looking through them all to be honest... do they fit without much problem? Shame though.. that kit looked cool with the carbon splitter.

Rsarin · January 11, 2009

Look forward to the pics of it looking nice and fresh Tom :D Clocks looking good to mate :D

Well there it is.. fully painted.. uploaded pictures on my profile gallery.. including dash, clock and aircon control bulb mods.. on the supercharger, ..well theres progress on the airbox,... one found, but waiting o see how much noise it will reduce it by.... am hoping to do the engine internals at the same time when the noise solution is found, then mapping, and then an even bigger smile on my face.. :winky:

On the noise Tom, Steve was saying 70%

Car looking very nice mate :winky: will have to keep you posted on LOC, As ive been banned from prolex forums now :o

Shame you couldnt try the kit on before you buy mate? some of the body shops would be able to modify it to fit if it was a PU/fibre kit but think they would have trouble cutting and splicing the carbon parts?

LOL you really dont want to open that can of worms Raj.

aido · January 11, 2009

That's a good point about the RMM - it would need modifying as the US spec bumper is deeper than the Euro spec I believe and so it would need cutting - I was also going to go down that route but never did.

Saying that I'm sure we had someone over here got it to fit onto their IS and I cannot for the life of me remember who it was who did it.

Another option which would be expensive though, would be to get the part number for a US spec front bumper, and get that as well as the RMM kit and then it will fit straight onto that?

..:: Edit ::..

Mr Singh ordered one years ago - not sure what he did with that - and I'm sure I've seen it on an Aztec Fire IS? Maybe it was Dave Ellen's old one?

aido · January 11, 2009

It was Dave - you can see it in his picture here if you look really closely at the front:

Gotta be worth a PM mate see how he did it?

If it does fit then I don't see any reason why Steve wouldn't send it, I've had antirollbars from him which I'd have thought were heavier in a similar size box :)

yemgi · January 11, 2009

It was Marcus who fitted a Vizage kit on his Aztec Fire ;) The front and rear lip need to be cut about 1 inch the rewelded

brice1ie · January 11, 2009

Hey, all

Well ive found a full carbon lip, so thinking of painting the majority of it, leaving the middle front edge unpainted.. it seems to be a copy of that RMM kit, but in pure carbon, and for the IS200..

Much more simple, I think...
