Yeah sorry i can't pm you but im not too confident in using primer nor wrapping my own dash but thought i'd give it a go. I'd be interested in paying someone to wrap my dash but charles is in melb and you are in perth lol

Unless I have one at mates workshop best bet is Charles, you can get around with out certain parts fitted.

This vinyl will go soft when heated, so you can work it around corners and stuff.

Hi mate,

Can you send me a sms on 0434 502 855 and I'll reply with a quote. Cheers :(

Well you know you have hit the big time when you have the "Special" drink coasters, second picture is actually all different types of DI-NOC, got about 10 different finishes along with the carbon ones.

I made quite a few up as samples with Carbon on one side and Wood Grain on the other but once my mates saw them well the stack became very small.

Would it be ok to use this stuff on a whole boot? I wana remove the wing from my sedan, i have a origin lip spoiloer for it, be cheaper to coat both in this then get the boot resprayed. I wanted to go a CF boot for it but there hard to find.

How much in material would it cost to do both?

Thanks,

Here's a set of R34 wipers (front + back)

Hahaha Charles... may I suggest you get some help for your obsession... :P

Just kiddin', they look great! I've been planning to just re-paint my wiper arms for a while now... perhaps I'll get you to wrap them instead so that they match the dash :(

Hey hey.... They aren't for my car lol :ermm:

It's for a R34 GTR :O

But yes, feel free to give me a call to discuss about your wipers hehehe

I just repainted mine, should have had them wrapped!! Looks awesome, as always mate.

You still can ;)

thumbs up! more quality work!

Thanks for the kind comments guys :(

Comments like that is what keeps me wanting to wrap more (not just for myself, but others lol) :)

If interested I might have an R34 boot that I am wrapping for a mate who is doing them on exchange or out right basis, I know there is R32, R33, S13 and S14 boots with a chance of an R34. Also got complete dash for S13, S14, S15, R32 and R33, interiors for R32, R33, S13, S14 and again some R34 parts, series 1 and 2 R33 wings with more bits slowly being sorted.

Decided to do this way because of time to cure and ensure no defects as it isn't a 5 minute job also means cars aren't out of action, for the boots he will lend one while I wrap the customers one as well.

Doing same deal for a Holden workshop, buying complete new trim and selling out right, I know the hassle Charles had in the past and I don't want to go there.

It does sound good and efficient, but there are people out there that are unwilling to pay for a brand new part lol and they can't be bothered selling their old part xD

But all in all, it's a good method to handle it. I don't do it nor thought about doing it because I'm only doing it as a hobby lol, not gonna invest loads of money into it :bunny:

And +1 for not being a 5min job. A lot of the jobs that I do, takes about a week, due to the process I go through to ensure everything is perfect.

Yeah i mite be interested eh, i dont mind losing the boot for a while as the car isnt my daily, its more a case of im in Bunbury and your in perth. So im sure we could work something out.

Might be keen on some interior bits to!

I can see this ending expensively...

If we time it right since coming from Bunbury you can bring the boot up in a different car and we should be able to turn it around in a couple of hours, don't want you driving with it as material needs to set.

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
