My JDM dc2 type R Build up!

[b16a2vtiguy]

Absolutely savage. What exactly did ya get done at the bodyshop, because the whole car looks mint.

Thanks man, tbh it was pretty much mint anyway.

But it needed the front bumper painting (due to wrong colour and scuffs)
The 1/4 panel reshaping and respraying (due to being kicked when previous owner had it, then badly repaired It was very very slightly the wrong colour too)
The door had a few mark on the edge too (some silly previous owners opening the drivers door on walls)
Then i had it all buffed all over

Some good hard work gone in there and attention to detail. Keep it up. The wheels suit the car look different.

hey b16a2vtiguy,

this is one of the most motivational (to me) write up i have found here ahaha, now im even more determine to get my ek pics up here.. but. yah.. ^^ good work!

 

[b16a2vtiguy]

Right, a few updates...

Old sun visor

New sun visor

New passenger air vent

Fitted some OEM rear speakers

Hidden

Rear broken panel

New rear panel fitted

New parcel shelf with no 6x9's!

Whilst the rear panel was off, i checked for any rust and was pleased to find none!

I was shocked at how bad a job somebody had done at fitting the rear panels in the past, no clips or bolts holding them in

So i have fitted all new clips and bolts, so theres not one missing now!

Why dont people do the small jobs properly :roll:
