[ryza]

anyone know where to get a smoothed boot from? ccf sell one for £120 but there's another place that sell onefor £30 but it looks like its been cut in half. anyone know much about this? and anyone got a smoothed bonnet for sale?

[mirrorblanks]

i work in a bodyshop as a panel beater/painter and people just bring in their standard bonnet/tailgates and we smooth them

[ryza]

nicee but im in ipswich :( how much u do it for?

[mirrorblanks]

bonnet £140 painted
depends how you want the tailgate, like just badges smoothing or whole thing smoothing

[mirrorblanks]

nicee but im in ipswich

any decent bodyshop can do it though, get out the yellow pages and go and visit them, get some quotes

[ryza]

cheers mate :) anyone else know where?

[mirrorblanks]

get out the local yellow pages and go and speak to some local bodyshops

i doubt you can buy them off the shelf from anywhere

second hand or get your done at a bodyshop are only options

the whole thing smoothing how much would you guys do it for then mate ??

[mirrorblanks]

i'm in liverpool, i doubt you'd want to travel from grimsby to get it done

[shaunsvtr]

a no its a fair way just getting prices to see what am looking at paying

[mirrorblanks]

for fully smoothed lookin at about £150-200

[shaunsvtr]

Tar buddy

i dont get threads like this to get panels smoothed you have to go to a bodshpp and get some quotes or take a look in the for sale section ??

unless you wanna buy firberglass/carbon fiber panels which are more more for track cars as they are light not so much about what they look like and are gonna be expensive

and that £30 boot in half?? you sure you werent looking at boot smoothing panels? which you bond on to the original boot but they are crap

[mirrorblanks]

he will of been looking at those boot panels, they are fibreglass, usually a terrible fit and not worth the ebay listing fee

and usually crack...

[mirrorblanks]

and usually crack...


so true

[Lippy]

fibreglass/plastic skins are wank! agreed!

I bought one from here and got it sprayed to my car color... cost me £130 in the end :(

And now gonna be selling soon for fibreglass one!

[Tom_Crx]

You pay for what you get tbh, but that shitty fg for cheap, it will crack and end up replacing it, costing more than what a proper job would of cost

[Furioman]

full smooth is a bad thing you have to remove the bonnet saftey catch,

[ryza]

so i shouldn't do it?

[mirrorblanks]

its upto you, its your car

[ryza]

just wonderin if i would bother, quite expensive to just get rid of a grill, but does look rather smart

thats why you buy second hand parts and spray them the same colour as your car, at the end of the day body work modifications are expensive

[blakey260]

i'll be selling my smoothed bonnet once i find another one, but at the moment they're like gold dust :/

[Mallyauto86]

smoothed boot big yes smoothed bonnet is gay imho just dont grab them.... carbon fiber bonnet yes

[ryza]

ok let me know when u sell it coz i would be interested, and anyone got a smooth boot? or know where to get a decent one from?

[markwillows]

the whole thing smoothing how much would you guys do it for then mate ??


I have a fibrelgass boot for sale in Grimsby
Fully smoothed. In wicked red just needs respraying to match your car

[ryza]

ok kool mate, what condition and how much u want for it? and does it come with the glass :)

[thebullet118]

I was looking at a fibre glass one of ebay. It's 120 pound for full fivre glass with a grill but... If it's going to crack, what's the point? =S

[ryza]

yeah i think im gonna leave the bonnet, a lot of work to just get rid of a grill, just gonna colour code grill and mesh it :) and still wanting a boot thought, that does make it look really smart from my point of view

[LSOfreak]

smooth boots suit saxos well i think. any bad points in having a full fibreglass bootlid. i know its lighter but does the paint on it look 'rippled' and will it crack over time?

[mirrorblanks]

well i make them up to order, drop me a pm
