Top rusty archage!

Just a small thing, but id give the skirts a spray up to match the grey on the door and B pillar, or its going to look a bit 'patchworky'

other than that, im looking forward to seeing the fresh arches!

[Timmy]

yeah i hadn't missed that i was going to back to black them after giveing them a jet wash then see how they come out. you knwo iwas ment to take them off so i can do that this week while its away balls. and ask him to deal with the little rust on the seal bugger, i'll have to pop around there later on in the week

[Timmy]

just clean up my side skirt look really bluey grey so i got the cans out there now black wow who, look loads better can go on once car comes back

[Timmy]

[mikey14sr]

[Timmy]

[Timmy]

Got any more pics Timmy???

Not that it matters much as I'll be seeing this at Cheltenham???

[Timmy]

well some but i can more if you really want as the car is just out side LOL what did you want to have a better look at ? or were you taking the micky

[Matt2107]

lol sorry dude when I viewed it before I could only see the top one.
My bad.

Looks like you've got some good work there for 300 nicker.
Same colour as my GTE is currently (if you ignore the yellow bonnet, black door, burgandy door, grey bumpers and red skirts.)

[Timmy]

:thumb: so what part of the car is the same colour?lol

[Matt2107]

Umm shell and errrrrrr boot. :thumb:

[ade]

make sure theyve sealed them underneath - doesnt hurt to take some seal sealer and just run it between the new arch and the inner arch lip (where the 2 bits join - this is always where they go and is easily forgotten.

Do you get any guarantee for their work?

[Adam]

Looks a very good job for ?300, whats with the door locks tho? covered in masking tape?

[Martin]

think there proper blankin kits mate

[Timmy]

Door locks are metal plates with a thread on the back so they clamp the door skin with a washer.This was a cheaper and better looking way to delock it when i first had them done.(can get some more made up if anyone intrested). the arches have been under sealed totaly, including the extra weadling they did on my boot as there were lot of rust holes. work not guaranteed as such as hes a friend of a friend but he is very good as you can see by the work. and he said about bring it back to him so he can flatten it after a week or so.

[Matt2107]

I'll have to have a proper look at Cheltenham Timmy ;)
