Hi everybody.. I got an s1 r33 and wanna take the stock rear spoiler off, but i dont want the obvious holes and the imprint of the spoiler to be left behind. Anyone know any good places in Melb that will take it off for me and smooth it out? Also, would I have to respray the boot or is it a small job?

And does anyone know roughly how much it would cost?

cheers guys

my opinion, you should take it off yourself... its easy

and then take off the boot......

then give it to a spray shop.. for them to re-spray it...

that way its cheaper for labour...and you dont have to leave your car there for apprentices to do dounuts in...........

yes it has to be re-sprayed.... because they putty up the holes and they sand it smooth then coat it.

Hey man, yeah im thinkin of takin it off my self.

See my car has 2 spoilers, one mini drift one and the norma series one spoiler. I just wanna keep the drift one on. but yeah, my car is too low to get into my driveway so i dont garage it :D ...So if i was to take it off and take it to a mech my car woud have no boot lol..so guess i can jus take the spoiler off and get a mech to do the rest. u kno any good places that do this?

DT panels, 12 Lightwood Drive (or Street, can't remember) Springvale.

Talk to Vu (evilsub on forums) can't remember the number off my head but it should be on sticky threads on Victoria section, have a look there.

Hey. Yeah they'll have to weld up and patch all holes then fill to re-straighten because the welding pulls the panel steel around. Then respray. We usually charge about 350 for it. Doesn't cost any diff whether you take whole car in or remove yourself.

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
