  1. I just need the colour code to do what ever colour you like Hayden.

    I should point out that for new products like this does take quite some time though. Last time we developed new braces it took nearly 4 months from from development, production and delivery to the UK.

  2. Cheers for the pics guys, really happy with the result, even had a guy in a French car park ask if he could take photos of the car, chuffed much! :D

    Tis compliments like this that makes you realise that the money was worth it :D

  3. Arch rolling starts from £50 per arch.

    We normally need to see the car to asses the paint work before suggesting what else needs to be done such as under seal, blending or repairs if needed.

    In your case Ian as the car's going to be painted anyway it's not a bad idea to do this before hand as a future preparation.

  4. Not many of you know that we offer an arch rolling service.

     

    Matt has a very nice stance but occasionally the rear clips he edge of his rear tyres which can eventually be hazardous.

     

    This is the actual lip which is being addressed. See how there is a 90 deg lip going inwards? The aim is to roll this lip up to a V shape without distorting the arch lines or damaging the paint.

    Now for the main part.

    Matt is going for our Amuse front bumper.

    Here it is fresh out of production. No modifications at all and being test fitted.

    Once that was done, we did all the usual prep work before spraying

  5. The lip doesn't look like a flush fit? Or is it just me...

     

    No you are quite rite. In some places ther is about a 1mm gap which youll never be able to get rid of because you are putting a hard horizontal edge to a soft vertical bumper. The gap varies from bumper to bumper and will change as you drive.

    There is also a stone on our workshop floor and my shaddow in one of the pics buy hey, we can live with that. :)

  6. Last week we had Hennerz 350Z for a small make over.

    He had bought him self a set of used Rota GTR's along with some spacers.

    Our task was to referb hem in black, fit them with some nice rubbers and install one of our mines style front lip which was also painted in gloss black.

     

    So here is our Mines lip Pre facelift version unpainted fresh out of production, un-trimmed black gel coated and test fitted.

    Now it doesnt end there.

    On Saturday we had Tinyflyer over too for a fitting of his facelift Mines style front lip.

    His one needed a bit of trimming to clear the front grill he has on.

    Result! Two happy customers :)

  7. have you got any pics of the actual units for the facelift cars fitted rather than the original one borrowed from richmillions car? FRP if you dont have the carbon ready. would be interested to see the finished fitment

     

    Im afraid you are going to have to wait till the carbon ones are done then because at the moment we only have fibreglass ones being made in the UK.

     

    any pics of the fibreglas facelift ones fitted?

     

    Fitting one rite now

  8. Sorry I think you've misunderstood me. Im not saying it needs to be max pressure just dont exceed it.

    Ive alwasy been told that the wider and lower profile, the pressure should be a bit more.

    Of course its dependant on the type of car and load it has.

    See this chart of BMW cars which vary from 15" narrow to wide 19".

    http://www.puretyre.co.uk/bmw-tyre-pressures

     

    But if you have stock rims its best to go by the figures written in the door shut or enter your reg here

  9. If you ever get a chance to pop in to see our work, feel free to come have a chat. You'll find what we do is not of the normal body shop standard as we not only make fibreglass kits but we have a good understanding and experience in how to fit them too.
