coldel Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 ...had the Zed in at RT Performance since Monday, picked it up again last night. Walking from the office to their workshop I had that same feeling I had when I went to pick up the car originally when I bought it. Excited, almost child like excitement, realised how much I missed driving it after just 3 days! Anyone else had that feeling? Didn't realise I would miss the car that much and be so excited to get it back! RT-P did a great job repainting the rear bumper, Ray came down and filled in for Taras who has had to go back home for a while due to personal reasons - so FYI the workshop is closed until next week - thanks Ray for coming down and finishing my bumper up, good work fellas.

SteveRS Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 The workshop is closed? Im dropping mine down there on Saturday, haven't been told they will be shut? Quote
coldel Posted July 14, 2011 Author Posted July 14, 2011 He said it is closed today and tomorrow, sorry should have been clearer about that, so you should be fine. I got Rays number if you want to drop him a quick message to check all is ok? Quote
SteveRS Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Must still be ok then, I'm sure Taras would have contacted me if not. Quote
SteveRS Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 All good mine is still going in on Saturday. It will be there for a week or so, so I know the feeling you mean I'm going to be like a kid at Christmas once the work is done and I get to pick it up. I've only had it 2 weeks and haven't really driven it much anyway. I don't want to show it off until it looks perfect. Quote
rabbitstew Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 I get that feeling every time i get into my car! Quote
Will370z Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 I get that feeling if I don't drive her for a day lol. Always excited as a litle kid each time I start her up. Will have to check out the work done this weekend at the owl Quote
coldel Posted July 14, 2011 Author Posted July 14, 2011 Well I had paint peeling off leaving bare metal before it went in, very impressed with the colour matching. Just the front bumper to go... Quote
coldel Posted July 14, 2011 Author Posted July 14, 2011 Got some before ones, didnt come out that well as it was iPhone...will take some after ones on the way back from the Chiro in a little bit and post on here. Quote
taras Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Tis was a pleasure to work on your car Col. I hope the rear isn't shinier than the rest of the car now? Should anyone need to contact me, you can still PM us in this forum and if it's something urgent, leave me your number and I'll call you back. Quote
coldel Posted July 14, 2011 Author Posted July 14, 2011 Thanks for sorting it out guys, here are some piccys, sorry not great quality (hope iPhone 5 is an improvement!) but you can see the cracks and scratches all gone and the colour matches perfectly. The cracked paint just below the number plate This appeared under the back, near the exhaust, was just peeling off by the day - all fixed now Scratches on the back right quarter, almost verging on being cracks, gone Colour matched very well, you would never know it got a respray Again thanks Ray and Taras, looks bloody excellent if I don't say so myself.

coldel Posted July 14, 2011 Author Posted July 14, 2011 It is, you will be well chuffed with their work mate. Quote
SteveRS Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 It is, you will be well chuffed with their work mate. Im looking forward to it. Quote
HaydnH Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 RT-Performance resprayed my bonnet and did a good job - I hate stone chips! You'll find the results in the Envy detailing section. Quote
SteveRS Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 RT-Performance resprayed my bonnet and did a good job - I hate stone chips! You'll find the results in the Envy detailing section. How good was the colour match on your bonnet? Quote

How good was the colour match on your bonnet? See here: viewtopic.php?f=128&t=51564 The bonnet seems slightly misaligned though which is why I'm heading back on Mon/Tues, you can barely see it in those photo's... should take them minutes correct.

SteveRS Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Looks good, seriously shiney! Is the black paint on the 350z's a metallic finish or is it just a gloss finish? Quote
HaydnH Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Looks good, seriously shiney! Is the black paint on the 350z's a metallic finish or is it just a gloss finish? It's got a multicoloured fleck in it... kind of like expensive hundreds & thousands. Quote
Squee Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Looks excellent - like Steve above I'd be interested to know if it's the met black finish? Shame RT don't have a branch up here in the north west! S. Quote
