Side Plastic Bits

[Titto]

How easy are they to remove?

Im going to get the body coloured ones and fit em....

Also, clear side indicators - can I use any from any vehicle or is that a problem cos its an import cos of wiring etc? I quite like the Astra clear side indicators and wouldnt mind fitting them.

have you priced up body coloured ones mate ??

I did...

£200 per side. Then you need the very rear bit for each side. Along with the bit that replaces the indicators and the new indicators also.

So possibly about £500 in the end !

how would you wire the side indicators up if you replaced them also ?? I've always wondered. How would you fit them ? Just drill a ruddy hole ?

It would be cheaper to mask the car up properly, primer the strips and then spray them body coloured - or you could be really cool and paint them with glow in the dark paint!!!!

Jimlad,

How much is your respray costing out of interest? Mine could do with a quick once over...

[Jimlad]

full respray plus the fitting of all my bodykit is £2000.

I mean it's hard to say what a good deal is I guess as it's going to be different between countries and we all know how different companys workmanship can be. I got my MR2 from japan AFTER it had been in that massive hail storm a few years back....EVERY panel was covered in hundreds of small hail stone dents.....I got ALL of the taken out and the whole car FULLY re-painted for $1200 nzd's.....then my Tom's front repaired, fitted, and painted for $250 nzd's. I admit I have found a good painter but comparing the prices I think that's heaps. I suppose it's like insurance, I thought NZ was bad but seeing the prices you guys are paying for insurance on your 2's

Either way your gonna LOVE it once you get it fully re-sprayed.....Soooooo nice :)
