mmmm i got my rims repaired at alliance....did a sh*t job in colour matching..but repair was good but still not happy in colour matching....i think [Michael] could justify that :/ hahah

ahaha, have to agree with you their, the colour match look very shit on your rims, looked more like poo then a golden colour :(

hey guys

thanks for all the replies.

i think u guys are getting me wrong....

sorry i didnt state this on the first post.

Rims are brand new (msg grey). have not been fitted or used.

just want to paint it matt black. ppl reccomend to powder coat instead of spray painting it if i wan the colour to last (wont chip easily). call up a few place n most dont powder coat anymore or for commercial purposes only....

do u guy know a place to powder coat which does a good job...

cheers.

Sorry forgot to tell you didnt add something in....

LANDSDALE TOO FAR FOR ME!!!!! sorry should say it ealier.

i don't mind going there if the price is good.

dont mind asking---> how much did u get it powder coated?

cos i got quoted prices from $120 - $300 for the set.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
