Repainting my MR kit

Looks like it came up well! Good on you for giving it a go yourself.

How are you fitting them up, some Sikaflex and a couple of screws in the bottom?

Just needs some lowness now to complement the body kit!
 
Ces where the hell did you score that haha, I can't find anything anywhere near that price, but i'll keep at it.
Yep I'm bolting the skirts on at the ends, and using sikaflex in the middle to make sure it doesn't go anywhere...ever. Lol.
Some lows in a few weeks if the Gods allow it haha, but we'll see.
I'll post a pic when today's job is done :)
 
Sorry it took me so long to post this - life got busy :)
I attached the kit and they fit on perfectly, no hassles, way easier than I thought.
A few bolts, some sikaflex, job done!

I attached two or three bolts on the ends where the mudguards were, no bolts in the middle as they were pretty firm even before I applied the sikaflex!
I put a solid line of sikaflex along the long middle bit of the skirts to hold it firm and stop vibration against the plastics.
The rear pods I just put two bolts in on the mudguard end, and sikaflexed the loose end. Clamps wouldn't fit to secure it so i had to lean a tyre up against it to hold it until it set lol -_-

They just need a reeeaaallyyy good clean and polish, and voilah!

Good stuff...I've got a faded red Mirage that needs repainting if you're keen :lol:
 
Wow, very nice work :) You need to make a ride thread with this in it!
Get some low now and your car will look much nicer :p

I'm on the hunt for a front lip as we speak, findin it really hard to come across one though that doesn't cost a million dollars -_- i'm leaning toward getting a civic EK lip coz they're way cheaper haha, and apparently they fit onto the CE's...but still not sure.

You know how to paint, so get the lip that matches your kit:http://ssv.com.au/product.php?2473 (lol that's ace23k's coupe in the pic :lol: )
Fibresports does it for $185, but you get a $30 discount because your on Auslancer :thumbup:
 
Daytime - thanks for the link :) I have already bought a civic lip though for $50, still yet to paint and install but i'll post pics when it's on.

Might actually start a thread :) Hah my lancer is DEFINITELY not a performance car...ahem....but it'll get there :p

Yeah start a thread before you do too much to it! You seem to be powering through the mods! :thumbup:
