Looks delightful

Congratulations

[Greybags]

It looks superb ..

What is that red, as it looks perfect, nice and bright but not too orange..

Come on spill the beans, which red is it

The red on the new Seat's is looking a strong contender as I get a bit closer to the respray every week..

i think that may be the same red on the car on our homepage,

under the heading of MODELS where it lists the mk 1/2 estate ,models
a nice red one with a red dragon grille badge.

also a red mk3 on this yrs national pictures looks the same red

[EBT MK3 INVADER]

Its a ROSSO? red - they mixed it in the paint shop for us - told them to get it as close to Ferrari red as possible

Bring your car round for £1,500 we can get yours to look the same

[Greybags]

At £1500 it might be worth putting it on a trailor and getting it the 300 plus miles to you ..

So far been quoted between £3500 - £10000 to do it down here.

Will probably do it myself, as althouth I love the car, it's not going to be a show car, it's going to be used, and I cannot bring myself to spend that ammount of money on just a paint job.

I have sprayed before and have looked into using water based paint which with the info I have from friends and have seen what they have achieved with it, with a couple of coats of laquer, I am most impressed with the easinest of it ..

Base coat goes on as a matt finish on which any faults are easily recified, and then a 1 pack clear..

Seen some really impressive stuff done by a couple of friends who have done their own cars in garages smaller than mine.

Just hope it passes the MOt as easy when it finally goes to the garage.

Grahame - If I were you, I'd start loading the trailer NOW, before he changes his mind.

what do you think of these wheels? 8 x13s

[Gilb]

What tyres are you running? 205/60/13?

[EBT MK3 INVADER]

What tyres are you running? 205/60/13?

IT HAS ON now 205 60 13s on rear, 175 70 13s on front .

But the one in that picture is 8 inch rim with 205 60 13

we had bigger tyres on the front but they were catching on wheel arch when on full lock.

[Waylison]

I run 205/60/13 on my MkII front and rear and that's without the flared arches as on the MkIII's

It's a very tight fit.




I only get a slight rub on full lock.

[Gilb]

i have 205/60/13 on the front and 235/60/13 on the rear of my mk III. Thinking of getting some 15" rims soon...
