Recommend a company that's not North of the CBD to spray and fit my bodykit.


Recommended Posts

I am looking for a comapny with experience fitting fibreglass bodykits, but I'm not looking at spending thousands of dollars (ie. $840.00 to paint and fit a pair of side skirts) at one of the big name crash repairers.

I have a front bar, side skirts, rear bar, side mirrors and bonnet to paint and fit. Everything is currently fitted to my car, however the side skirts and rear bar require some work. Depending on price, I can paint and fit the bonnet and front bar myself. The car was originally two tone, so I also need to have the doors sprayed (as there is a dark grey strip across the bottom of each door).

So, please recommend any places you have been happy with. List what you have had done, how much it set you back and how happy you were with the result.

Oh, and if the place is looking for some publicity, I am willing to wear stickers on my car for a few months (including at Autosalon) in exchange for a good price.

I am also the MD of a web development company, so if you know of any crash repairers who are in the market for a web-site, then chances are we can come to some sort of agreement...

MC doyles at edwardstown has a very good rep, price might be a bit high tho.

Ive had good experience with marion crash on marion road, although they couldnt keep with there dead line but the quality of work was excellent

Ive also used a place called Greg Nelson crash on brighton road, much cheaper then the above mentioned and still pretty good, u get what u pay for, for the most part, but probably best value for money by far.

cheers

Prestige Motor Body Repairs at 226A Bridge Rd, Pooraka 8260 2724 painted and fitted my kit. Reasonable prices and ok quality - not absolutely fantastic but pretty good. I don't know the price as it was a part insurance job with other things too. I think he quoted around $700 to paint, with fitting only a bit extra.

To ALL,

I will back Wally at Sillens special vehicles as has 4dr sleeper,NO ONE takes more care to fit a kit than Wally be it one of his own or supplied.

Regards,

SKYLINE(Kym).... :wassup:

Provident crash repairs is the place to go

check the result

they also do air bag suspension.

their name is b ans c reiche crash and custom

number is 83819294

hope this might help you

Iam in a similar situation, but I sourced a type m front bar for my r33. It has a bit of damage though, and needs to be repaired.

I have been quoted around 200 to paint and fit plus some more money to repair as it has to be sent off to another place to be fixed.

So lets say around 300 all up. Do you think this price is resonable?

Didnt want to hijack your thread or anything, but it was relating to painting panels.

=p

Anyone want to buy a R33 series 1 front bar? lol

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
