I reckon this car looks nice as, the guy who owns it is on these forums but he's in the states can't remember the username though but he would be able to give you more info about the paint job.

budget is fairly tight, so we'll see how it goes. I might just add more metallic chips. How much you get em for ni?

might pop down to subaru in mentone on the weeked and have a look at the black, sounds interesting :/

not sure about green though :rofl:

is the nissan clear coat thing just a gimmick? does it really work and what $$ are we talking?

ordered em off ebay for like $15 delivered from the US.

the candy red was about $20 delivered from the same place

i guess the extra $200 isn't in extra equipment then, must take a fair bit more time to add extra metallic/pearl in. I thought metallic/mica would just be mixed in and sprayed as per normal? i can understand extra work with pearls but flakes??

ok ppl's, car is in, Vu said i've got till tuesday/wednesday to decided on colour.

will try and make a trip to subaru to check out the black you guys are raving on about, and maybe even get a paint code. Might also have a squiz at BMW (work above Kingsway BMW)

i'm very keen to see a black car with silver pearl/silver chips/flakes whatever you want to call it. Vu (guy at DT Panels) said it's hard to see on a black car, so it might not be worth the extra $200, but i'd still like to see it anyway. Anyone know of any examples? willing to drive round a little to have a look...

that auto-salon type pic looks super sparkly, don't think i really want something like that. I don't mind metallic, but that looks like adding a million 5 cent pieces

EDIT: What about black with WHITE pearl? if silver doesn't show, white might? or is that just a silly idea?

Vu at DT Panels is looking after the beast (well, stock as a rock, meh... :D) i've got till bout Tuesday to decide on a colour... i'm getting a lot of ppl say Matte and Satin black... i started a thread before about it and the idea was shot down. Not that is the be all and end all, but i'm wondering why the change of ppl's minds?

I must admit, i have seen FnF 2 or 3, did i miss something from those movies? :(

hmmm... decisions, decisions...

      Rusty roof repair

      Some of the filler.   Also if I look under the top flap of metal it starts looking good quite close to the edge. I get the feeling it doesn't go much further.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I finally started digging at the bit of my roof that was cracking and bulging a bit. Well, it was just thick filler that was covering some pretty bad rust. I didn't find the edges, I was too bummed to keep going.  There are a few holes as you can see. There was just so much filler but looks like no attempt under the filler to prime or use rust converter, just slapped filler on exposed rust.  Anyway, I'm going to take the windshield out and find the edges. I'd love to fix this myself as I'm pretty sure it'll be expensive to get done properly. I was thinking I could just get a cut piece from another E39 and just weld it in place as it would be the right size and shape.  Thoughts?

      This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...

      There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
