Importing a Mk2 2 door

[DubSteve]

Dan,

If you go to Autobarn they can mix that exact paint for you as they have the code on their computer.

I got this done aswell, a little expensive but if you want to have a go yourself you can actually get a really good finish providing that you take your time and follow the key steps to completing it.

ok, how achievable is it for me to fix these scratches and bumps, ive had a look and been talking to people and seems a little worse then i thought. I was thinking of trying what evorobin and dubsteve stated and giving it a go, but the scratch on the sun roof seems a little deep. Also is the bump repairable without respraying the whole bonnet or will i need to go to a panel shop where they'll likely stuff it. Why are there so few good ones.

Man this is frustrating.

Probably best to take it to a panel shop and get it done at the same time if this is the case, it shouldn't cost to much. That second pic looking like the sun roof will need to be cut back thats for sure.

Time for an Oak Green meet Dan!!

I somehow missed this entire thread - it is honestly awesome.

BTW a bit of fish oil or vaseline will work better than sticky tape to protect the metal.

[DangerDan]

yeah, will do, just need to get the charger right first, wont feel safe until it is. Loving your exhaust too!!!

Have you tried any dent doctors around your area?
Last week i took my wrx to a friend that does paint-less dent removal and i was shocked at the result.
Couldn't even tell there was a dent to begin with and the one in my front arch was much worse than your dent.
If it is do-able it would be much less than a panel shop.

[DangerDan]

Dent is doable, but many places have knocked me back because of the deep scratch.

Now for the real plates:




Sorry guys for no euro's but thought they'd look silly being really short. Going for something different.

Maybe in the future ill change to them

Awesome mate! You'll have to keep it as a G60 now!

[DubSteve]

They are sweeeeeeet, thats better than the euro's I reckon.
