i also had the altia/nismo rear spoiler. it was a bitch to remove. quite costly as the holes had to be lead-filled, welded, smoothed, and then resprayed. the cheaper option was to simply putty-fill the holes and spray, but thats a little dodgy.

yeah i would rather get it off, have u got before & after pics.

how much did it cost? who was your panel beater?

i got my car done at 'Imperial Smash Repairs' in springvale.

they did a pretty good job.

i got my old kit removed and a new cwest kit fitted and sprayed at the same time - so im not sure how much it would cost to get the rear quarter panels done alone. but from memory it was around the $800 purely for the rear qtr panels as they have the respray the whole rear panel which extends up to the roof. they blended the spray job at the ridge of the roof line - so a fair bit of spraying was involved too.

as i said previously... its a bitch of a job to do!!

heres a couple more pics:

before....

after....

$800? that's not too bad... i was quoted bout $1200 alone to fix the two rear quarters up..

how did the blend to the roof go? i might pay these guys a visit and get a quote for the quarters and or full respray to avoid blending issues... especially if they've done one before.

i've taken my wing off and just put gaffa tape over the holes... not a very good solution... seems to keep the water out though... pretty strong tape.

EDIT: looks like a great job from the second pic. You weren't completely happy with it by the sounds of it?

hey i reckon we should get all the r34's in melb and do a cruise.

that would be awesome!!!!

anyone interested?????? :D

Id be interested :wub:

Btw you have one shiny car, do you just clean it alot or has it been resprayed?

The car is just very clean in the pic.

possible repray before but not 100% sure.

How about a cruise to lorne and back in a few weeks????

800/1200.... shit.... 1200 also sounds familiar now too.

but i got a good deal overall.

i seriously considered the path of full respray; but u have to either decide to do a proper respray or a half-assed approach. proper method is to remove ALL windows - which means most of the rubber seals will need to be replaced which costs $several hundreds alone plus the possible risk of the windows being cracked in the process of removal. the annoying part is that the panel shops wont take responsibility if the windows crack when being taken out; and therefore u have to pay for the windows to be replaced if it happens.

the half-assed way is simpler; much cheaper; but u wont get a clean edge near the window seals.

LOL @ gaffa tape!

sad to say that i did the same thing at one stage too!!!

btw, u got PM with more details.

    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
    • Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
