Very nice. i need to do a msp front bumper swap. you should lower your car next..

Ok. Here's my car. Only had it for the 2nd month now, I think. I love 'er! Very stock right now. Planning on that turbo kit so I can make it a sleeper until I can dig up some more funds to redo some the exterior.

Here's a photo. The guy who had the car previously was retarded. First one to spot what's wrong with the car gets a cookie.

I see a scratched bumper, possibly mis-matched paint on said bumper, 02 p5 wheels?

 

[justanothermp5]

yea thats an ES so it came with those rims...
im not really seeing anything wrong with it though minus the bumper scratch

 

[xDJ DUBx]

must be an 01 or 02 es then cause the 03s for sure didn't come with those wheels.

But yeah, whats wrong with the car? I'm staring it down hard.

yeah, it's the bumper. The paint came off of the bumper because it was painted bad. It's not scratched - that's the primer underneath of the paint. Also: it's matte, not gloss like the rest of the car. (argh)

You'll also notice a dent, just above the passenger side door. The hood has a bit of deformation (very hard to photograph) and the wiper resesviour has a leak in it. I'm going to try and use a buddy's mightypuddy, although it gets really cold here (-40) so I might just be better off buying a new res. I don't think that epoxy can hold up to -40.

Bah, no biggie, $200 for paint, if that much.

 

[justanothermp5]

oh, not really that noticeable from the picture
and it shouldnt cost to much to have it repainted, like 2-300 maybe?

 

[justanothermp5]

lol wow u beat me

Paint/labor is $600 to fix the bumper. I noticed some bubbling on a wheel well, and theres a ton of little scratches. I'd like to repaint the car a different color completely - perhaps the (laser?) blue that I've seen on the forums. Velocity red also looks nice. No idea what it'd run me, though.

I'm dj dub dude, I beat everyone.

Wow, $600 is way too much. It really shouldn't cross $400 w/ repair. Go to a different shop.

If you paint the car another color, you'd have to do the jams and stuff to make it look right, plus laser and velocity are mica so you're looking at 3k+
