Too Much Sun/Beer/Time...Sprayed Splitter...rear arch repair

[crezz]

jeez those skirts are a rip off..you can get them from dealers for that price, well roughly...cheers urbis...if i manage to find a set of skirts i will no doubt spray them up..i like to have a change everynow and then.

I love it! I recon if its going to work it'll work on topaz (not that i'm biased!)

Your rears spaced or not?

think you may be right there. Colour coding on mine would look gash.

them sideskirts ain't that expensive, they bloody cost £72+VAT from stealers (thats per side, he said "so thats like £100+ with clips/jacking point covers" i nearly swore and threw something at him lol), but i got both+clips/jacking point covers for £25 and £5 delivery from newcastle (where my mates mom has a courier service ), but rowley auto's is just by the Ricoh Arena in Coventry if anyones interested (good little VAG spares place)

you did a good job crezz on the front splitter, but i like the contrast the black has on these ibiza's, i've kept mine black all around (copper ibiza), when it's all the same colour i personally think it just looks bland! everyone to their own!
lovely scenery as well

I noticed those last night when I was on ebay. I wondered how long it would be before someone suggested them!

 

[crezz]

got spacers but need them to be machined a little..if i were to keep it on there id go for the all out job and smooth the pimples off then spray up and will look better as it will lose the funny texture....could get it looking good but was done in a couple of hours! haha

Colour coded skirts are a must.

Just out of interested how did you go about the spray. I have faded black skirts/splitter and wanted to spray um black but think it might look wierd with a shine. i take it you didnt use primer or rub down, looks really good qaulity. thinking of doing everything on the car one weekend. The topaz just a manufacturers colour match spray tin

 

[crezz]

yeah gotta use primer and needs to be for plastics..unless you just want it like back to black, if so just buy bumper spray as it works well...yeah just went halfords and got a rattle can as before it was an awesome match but not so good this time.

adding to the too much time thread,

decided it was time to do summit about those rusty rear arches that i have

so i pulled out my wallet and relized i had no fundage at all! skint as fook!

so it was time to do a quick job of it myself untill fundage will allow for work to be done

only managed to get one done but made a slight improvement i think

 

[suj]

looks much better, what did you do mate?

 

[crezz]

just rubbed them down with different grades of paper, rust treat, prime, spray and then cut

 

[AlpineWhite]

Crezz,

Get yourself to bristol for the weekend, I have another two for you to do.... tea and bacon butties provided? Excellent.

Cheers,

Ant

 

[Juclassic]

Looks class, I like it. I've thought about doing my skirts, pics like this persuade me even more.... haha!

 

[crezz]

haha, im on a die tim affraid ant...im now 10 stone 8lb of pure rubber! lol

 

[AlpineWhite]

Worth a try! Could swap the bacon butties for salad, if it helps

 

[crezz]

haha, now its tempting.. lol...really want to get her in the bodyshop for a full respray and then i can say everything about it is mint.
