yeah you need a Cert for shaved doors / poppers etc ( heek what cant you do without a cert )

aaah if you look super close, its a relocated boot lock, so if i leave keys in the car/ battery i just clim through! ( happens all the time , slow motion door closing with engine on etc lol )

no need for Bodykits, i like the factory shape, its at painters now getting bumper re aligned / spotlight covers , and some black headlight perspex covers!

its PPG candy apple red with a gold base coat / hence the orange with flash cameras

but in real life, its dark dark red

Yeah my ver5 had a re spray must be coming up two years now lol Just went factory red with the mazda 6 pearl and sirelic so it only shines in the sun.

I see the lock now its pretty obvious now lol, its a fantastic job good work.

I like your plate too.

Wondered how you were going, havent seen you round in awhile. Know anyone keen to buy a 99 V5?

[Guest]

yeah ive got spotlight covers.. and swindog you havnt seen me around in nearly 3 years since i took it off the road as a standard v2 sti.... and whata u want for yours?

[Guest Bemrose]

[Shale]

That colour. Once again... SO EPIC.

[Guest Bemrose]

haha yeah got spotlight and headlight covers!

paint looks amazing in real life, took the company fixing my guard 3 weeks of testing to match the paint

house of kolor Candy Apple red ANDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!! ANDDDDDDD!!!!!!! Candy orange, blended on a silver base coat

[QRAF]

best pictures i could find was just after it was painted, if i have to paint a panel i've been told i have to paint the whole side so it can be color matched. :'(

thats my base coat

[Swindog]

Bloody nice colour. Its hard with Candys a! Hard enough with pearl metallics let alone trying to patch up candys.

[QRAF]

mines not a candy just a Mazda 6 pearl on factory Subaru red.

[Swindog]

Looks like a candy though. Good job.

[pixel-pimp]

Heres a couple of my latest baby

[QRAF]

dam those angle lights look hot at night, just not sold on the day look tho.

[pixel-pimp]

Yea i guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I like them better than the stock ones.

I love them, best bday present ive got! haha.

Now just gotta get a kit for it, and a respray!

[QRAF]

not dis ing the birthday gift i got aftermarket head lights similar to yours with the black inserts

what color and kit are you looking at going or getting?

[pixel-pimp]

Hmm, I dunno I cant get anything too low coz Waiheke roads are crap haha. So was thinking just a nice zerosports or something, and I would stay white, just need a few touchups.

[Swindog]

[pixel-pimp]

exactly

only one person in wellington who can do it, and he did an amazing job

basically swapped my first new born for it though

1 candy = hard

2 candy's blended together = stupid

the pic of my front is where he JUST re painted the bumper its pretty much perfect

[Swindog]

The way you lay candy colours is different to every other paint so i believe ya! You pretty much need to paint the car as you look at it. To do that you cant blend the colour.

[Guest]

ive done a couple of candys and they arent as hard as people make em out they just get nervous and fk it up lol but to match ur candy would be an absolute nightmare without a formula written down oh and
