E30 CALYPSO RED CAB PROJECT

Mon Mar 30, 2009 1:53 pm

transformation of my calypso red cab from a totally standard to a tech 2 mint cabriolet,

body was nice and straight with the exception of the odd few ripples here or there so i had every last imperfection taken out, full respray, chipstoned behind the bodykit, at the moment the kit is fitted, angel eyes with hid kit,

paintwork has come out absolutely mint camera quality is a little crap and it hasnt been polished yet, but will post some more when i have an update still got loads to do but its coming along nicely,

let me know what you think

passenger side is genuine i couldnt get the drivers so ive modded the driver side one its come out ok in all honesty so i might as well leave it or if i get a drivers somewhere along the line might just fit that so at least its all genuine.

Will be really good-looking with those 17" alpinas, but those lights (head and rear) don't fit the looks

Tue Mar 31, 2009 5:37 pm

hi jonsku thanks for your comment, the lights were a bit 'boring' so decided to go for something a little different, once its all together it will look completely different and everythign will look in place, its personal preference really i suppose.

a pic of the interior and a pic with the hood down, car is done now but need to give it a good clean/polish

Tue Apr 21, 2009 4:55 pm

That looks sh1t hot

Loving the interior, very nice job

Tue Apr 21, 2009 5:02 pm

Looks like a quality retrim there, suprised you went for a 3-tone interior with the red, black & cream, 2- tone would have been more simple & clean.

Still top marks on the car as a whole, stunning!

PS: Shadowline dechrome needed asap!

Tue Apr 21, 2009 5:06 pm

i wasnt too sure on the shadowline in all honesty, the chrome stands out and looks well polished up,

going for 2 tone/3 tone was a tricky decision but decided to stick with black on the outsides in the end, easier to keep clean.

Hopefully see this around sheffield !

Now that looks soooo good. Brings back memorys

Luvvly!

Wed Apr 22, 2009 3:14 pm

Beautiful!!! Did that re-trim cost much do you me mind asking??

Wed Apr 22, 2009 4:31 pm

re trim wasnt too bad seats and door cards £850 guy realised it was on the cheap side when i went back to collect and was being a bit funny but a deal is a deal end of day so i paid him as agreed and left him with a big strop on his face.
