FAO Lord EvilJohn!!

[M1TCH]

Hello squire!

Colour coding a couple of bits this week mate, and I think I remember you posting a little while ago, like a mini guide of how to take the door handles off, like a sequence of things to do....

could you enlighten me please...

cheers buh

[Djw John]

lmao at the title!! Yeah no worries

Take the door panel off as shown in fubars guide

Then note how many notches up the rod is into the back of the handle (will make sense when you see it!) and remove the rod

Get 8mm or 10mm socket and undo them.

Wiggle the handle out, its quite a tight fit but it will come out.

Hope that helps!

Great minds Mitch, I've just pm'd the Lord for some advice on this issue after getting a good quote for colour coding.

What was your quote mate and where from?

 

[_Kenny_]

My wee cousin has his own business mate. He's based in Broxburn near Edinburgh.

For fog surrounds, mirrors, spoiler and handles he was saying it should be around £110 iirc

 

[M1TCH]

What was your quote mate and where from?

I'm having the handles, boot lock, fog surrounds and spoiler done for £80 one evening this week, through a mate

Where abouts is that Mitch? seems a fairly good price.

Don't forget to post pictures of the results fellas!

 

[M1TCH]

yeah will do, is being done tomorrow night and hoping to fit the bits within the next couple of weeks.

a friend of a friend is doing it, he works at nissans repair centre in chelmsford but they do stuff on the side in the evenings.....

 

[_Kenny_]

Mitch, how easy is the bootlock to get off mate?

Got my cousin down to 70 notes, result!

 

[Djw John]

Quite f**king right!!

 

[_Kenny_]

I know! Saw him last night, the cheeky wee blighter

 

[M1TCH]

Ermm I'm not sure, I've got a spare one so havent taken the other one off yet. But I have had a look at it and it looks pretty simple.

Think there is 4 torx screws in the boot panel then pull it and it unclips, then iirc there is a couple of small bolts or summin.

I remember looking at it and figureing it out its quite easily.

then its just 2 torx screws holding the lock surround on


I'm really contenplating (sp) wether to do the bump strips aswell but leave the front and rear bumpers. whatcha think?

 

[Djw John]

Fubar has done the boot lock, give him a quick pm or search

Dunno, Giles' car looks pretty good and thats nearly completly done, dunno if yours would become toooo silver.

 

[M1TCH]

well I'm gonna leave the front and rear bumpers black thats for sure, well gonna change the rear to a ph2 hopefully.

I don't mind the bump strips being black cos I quite like the break up of colour the whole way round, but wondered if it might look ok just doing them, like not too much silver.

Might ask Giles to do me a photoshop later on..

 

[Djw John]

mmmm not sure, would it look it a bit half arsed?

 

[_Kenny_]

^ yeh, I've seen a couple with just the sidestrips done and the front and back left and while it looks alright I think it just doesn't look right if you know what I mean.

I'm gonna clean the car this weekend and look at all the bits and bobs that will need to come off.

 

[M1TCH]

yeh i think it might john, so wont be doing that then lol

will keep ya updated guys

 

[Djw John]

cool

 

[M1TCH]

not happening till monday now cos he's busy tonight will let you know

 

[Djw John]

boooooooooooooooo

 

[_Kenny_]

think mine is happening sometime next week, thinking about buying duplicate parts so these can be sprayed and it's just a case of swapping over

 

[Djw John]

Ah ha

well i may have stuff your interested in then Kenny me old son!

 

[Djw John]

Mitch, did I sell those handles to you or have I lost them?!

Defo got mirrors Kenny

 

[_Kenny_]

^ Mate that would be grand, let me know what you've got and I'll buy them from you. Cheers

 

[Djw John]

Ive already sold the fog covers, think I sold the handles to Mitch, so that leaves me with the mirrors, the glass smashed on one of them but its really just the cover you need anyway and the roof top 'spoiler' which I think you got as standard. Not wanting big money so make an offer of over £150 and there yours

 

[_Kenny_]

I'll check the finances mate and let you know. Pay day next week thankfully Wouldn't need the spoiler as going to get a Dynamique/172 one off ebay. How much woud you want for just the mirrors sonny? Ta

 

[Djw John]

Say £5/10 summat like that

 

[_Kenny_]

£10 and a couple pints at Lutterworth? Job's a good un!

 

[M1TCH]

Mitch, did I sell those handles to you or have I lost them?!

Defo got mirrors Kenny

you gotta stop smoking that stuff chap lol

yeah I've got the puppies warm in their lil box still

and spare fog surrounds from big yin

and spare boot lock that I found in my boot

so just gotta whip the spoiler off when I get there o monday

 

[The Big Yin]

Boot lock is dead easy its only a few screws

 

[Djw John]

£10 and a couple pints at Lutterworth? Job's a good un!

Deal!

 

[_Kenny_]

Ok dokey, on the lookout for the other parts now. Spoiler situation looks sorted.

Mitch how you getting on?

 

[M1TCH]

the bloke messed up his arrangements and forgot about last night, cant blame him as I nearly did too lol

we re-arranged for tomorrow night now which is fine cos I'm in no rush plus said he'd knock a bit off too

 

[M1TCH]

well slightly annoying but he said he couldnt do it tonight, because they have got a new boss there and he doesnt let them do private work

had a proper s**t day!

but.....but....he's just given me a call and he gonna do it discreetly, so I'm leaving now
