Well done, just be carefull putting it back together not to scratch it.. hats off to the painter :)
Yeah the paint is like glass no orange peel or overspray anywhere and it was only away for just over 2 weeks. Feels odd knowing its 100% rust free tho,i will update the thread as i carry on to build her back up.
is it going to be 100% oe
No about 80% :) but looks wise will try to be apart from exhaust an alloys both of which may change in the future.
Looks well mate, fresh paint
Thanks benj88 your car has been the benchmark for what i was aiming for when sorting the bodywork for panel gaps an finish etc..
cheers mate :agree:
nice paint job mate :)
New poster! (less than 10 posts)

looking very good! just out of interest how much did you pay for a full respray?
From what I can make out does look good matey, but you really need a decent camera :agree:
Its an i phone camera just quick an easy to get pics up will get more pics up when i get chance.

nice one mate, guna get my bumper repainted like, gota few stone chips now :sad2:
how much did you get charged for the front bumper?
Im not too sure mate coz im havin all the plastics an kit sprayed as part of the respray price. My dad spent hours sorting the front bumper out fibreglassing and filling sections to get it back from almost fit for the bin.With yours bein just stonechipped would think max 200 for a top notch job.
Opinions please! I have Gt tuning alloy exhaust heatshield.Do i fit it or keep the bumper lookin clean an o.e im personally not feeling the idea now the bumpers are all back an minty ???
Keep it looking o.e fresh:)
Slightly better pictures

Excellent work there Jonny!! :niceone:
I love all these minty fresh OE cars coming out of the woodwork!! The old GT Turbo's going to live on for a long time yet!! :D
P.S. Also thanks Jonny's Dad! :laugh:
Fecking fantastic chum didley um.. looks perfect GLAD to see another comitted member:agree:
The paint work looks excellent, have you had the red gtturbo badge painted as well? Is it mat or gloss red I can't tell, she's guna look mint. What wheels will you be goin for?
The badges are just brand new from Renault, satin finish.
Its on voodoos now but have original speedlines too but need four new tyres.
Thanks for all the comments guys.
Looks lovely, well jealous. :)
what did you do with your rear GT Turbo badge, did you have it painted or was it an original mint one ?
As above mate
Did you take the windows out or let the panel beaters do it?
where did you get the boot badges from m8 ? nice 5 also :) :agree: just had mine sprayed in tungy too :cool:
I bought the badges new about 5 years ago when i started the project an had them stored till it was sprayed. Yeah me an my dad removed everything ourselves.
doh wish i did that ,Quote:

Thanks for the comments guys. Picture doesnt really show it that good really.
Last few bits turned up today, 4 x 195/45 Falkens ZE912s to get swapped over get rid of the nasty 50s. Got some more parts from mike due tomorrow all the little annoying bits.
Bumpers are all made up an ready to go on, same with skirts an spoiler. Will update with pics next week.
Had a busy week fitting all the interior back in and the bodykit etc, only a few more odd jobs to do, but shes is mot passable now :) Just mostly cosmetic bits to finish off.
Not long now till shes back on road for first time in 6 years.
