My 325i sport

[walrus1968]

just got this back from paint today. Not a bad job.



















im quite happy with it.....dont really want to sell it now lol

[jmc330i]

Only looking on my phone, but it looks good

Was it a colour change or just a refresh?

[walrus1968]

same colour...im very happy with it...the baur is in now getting some paint ..then the tech1 will follow ... then all three will be for sale lol.

i dont know..i might keep the white one

[jmc330i]

I hate keeping white cars clean, I'd really hate keeping a freshly painted one clean

The 2 colours I said I'd never have again were white and red - my Sport is red, the touring white

That looks really good, a bit of kick to sort mine out

[magpie]

soz...my monitors are huge ..didnt realize ..i think they are 1024 in width, not too big i hope

[cecotto479]

I have to say that the paint and overall finish looks very good indeed, but the panel fit and bodykit fit is to OEM Land Rover spec.

[Simon]

Can I give an honest opinion, or would you rather me not..?

Lose the wheels for fiteeeens??

Any interior shots?

+1. And the bonnet and wing gaps are all over the place.

Certainly looks shiny enough.

Sort out the gap issues, lose the BK scrap and council plates and it will look quite respectable.

eh ,the pics look better when you click on them.

ya get me innit ..

This is going to sound like some kind of vendetta but it isn't, I'd point this out whoever it was so...

Yes it does indeed look lovely, a good white Sport is a rare and good looking chariot, especially as it looks like some kind of red interior also

But... apart from the bonnet, both bumpers and at least one side pod not lining up properly, why do I detect obvious Photoshopping? These jumped out straight away whilst just looking, so don't assume I went nitpicking!!

We have some obvious and poor p.shopping circled in red...

[penton08]

That looks more like p40 than p'shop to me.

[Sanchez]

Its not photoshoped cause the same dent/bulge cant be seen in another pic.

[suchy]

Yeah I did wonder about P40 but I opened it up seperately from here, zoomed in and it has p.shop characteristics in the pixels. Same with the sunroof bits and the corner of the bonnet. Looks like poor use of the Cloning Tool in P,shop...

[suchy]

Its not photoshoped cause the same dent/bulge cant be seen in another pic.

True, it can be seen in the other rear quarter shot also. The one I highlighted does have some blurred pixels when zoomed in seperately and does look like being 'shopped. The other could have been done also, unlikely I know and may be dreadful filler work instead (bit like the panel/kit fitments!!)

[suchy]

Just opened it up seperately also but it doesn't look too obviously worked on so wouldn't like to say either way. The close up looks 'shopped zoomed in and the quarter shot could be either! So yeah could just be crappy workmanship

This poor fella whos just posted his car in gallery.....no idea what peeps will say when i put mine up for sale shortly!

This zoner has history and seems to rub people up the wrong way.

[Alex]

I seen this car about 2 hours ago, its not half bad at all, the roof is where the seal has dropped down slightly.

[Sanchez]

Didnt think the photos had been altered.

Ide love a fresh paint job.

How come your selling so soon?

[suchy]

If it is genuine, then I apologise for insinuating a hiden agenda

What about the dodgy filler work and poor fitment though?
Shame if so as, like I mentioned above, a white Sport is a great looking chariot

there has been no photoshoping.....its just the way it is...i like it and yes..there are some alignment issues but hey..its not the end of the world.

im sure ill sleep ok...

dont forget to dissect some more though...have a real good poke round those pics..im sure theres loads of things youll find...like hidden pixies and other strange creatures.

the comments about photoshop did make me piissss myself though....so much fun this forum...so many experts its scarey stuff posting any pics on here.

Cant wait to see what you ladies will say about my imaginary tech 1 that im going to photoshop into some holiday snaps and post when its ready.

haha lol

i zoomed in real close to your avatar...thats if it really is an avatar...guess what i saw...blurred pixels and a four letter word ....couldnt quite make out what the word was but ill let you guess lol hahaha think it began with a D !!

red seats??? wtf....keep taking the tablets...its a black sport leather interior but now youve mentioned it i might just photoshop it red...thanks for the idea..i like it !!

hahaha ...fook me ...the inquisition commences lol

[cecotto479]

No inquisition, but a couple of genuine questions.

Why would your painter paint the car with the comedy panel alignment? Surely he'd sort that before flinging paint at it? The possibility of damaging the new paint when it could all be done before painting makes it utterly pointless in my view - unless there's something I'm missing?

I know I've complained about the time my guy takes, but he'd never let that out of his place. The bonnet honestly looks like Steve Wonder fitted it in the dark.

Were the bolt on panels and the kit painted off the car?

And who did the filler work at the rear light?

If it was the painter or his people and you do give him the amount of work you say you do, then I'd be having a word.

I suppose the other question would be "How much?" .

Other than the filler cock up, half a day of careful fettling should sort out the alignment stuff and the paintwork does *look* good. If the price was right......

[suchy]

Yes something like that!

OK it's just light refraction from the windscreen, but in one shot you can partly see the interior and it looked slightly redish. A Cardinal or Crimson interior would look good in this.

[stew72]

Isn't walrus a trader? To be honest I know several traders and without exeption none of them would know how to open photoshop.

As a trader I also suspect he knows painters who'll be happy to squirt paint at anything to make it shiney. Getting a decent finish out of white isn't difficult.

[DanThe]

Its not photoshopped at all, I bet suchys pics are though

[polsta]

1st thign i thought when looking at the panels and overall clumsy look, "land rover spec lol" classic

slap dash it looks like it was put together by benny hill, youd also seriously have to question the guy who would paint a car like that

£8k stunning show quality tech 2 sport for sale...comming soon

[sunnyr83]

So many f****** haters man! Unbelievable.

[suchy]

Aparently so, but he also says he's a photographer and most photographers I know, know how to use Photoshop!! I've already apologised if it was genuine. Maybe I jumped to conclusions, given the history!!
Still no bloody excuse for coming back from a paintshop with badly aligned panels and that bit of fillerwork!! I suppose it does depend on how much it cost though.
This could be a bloody lovely looking E30 but I do fear it's been bodged and had paint just flung on

[walrus1968]

lol...yawn yawn...but if you want to hate on me then do so.i get jumped on with every thread i start ..but..if it gives you pleasure..who am i to deny you ladies a bit of pleasure.

I was telling my real life freinds about the fact that one of you had taken so much time and trouble to analyse my pictures to such a degree."blurred pixels" lmfao hahaha.. oooh how we piiisssed ourselves laughing and the word "dildo" was defo bounded about...i then showed them this thread....we again pisssed ourselves laughing and agreed at how many sad pathetic souls post on this forum and the crap that they post.

yes...i am a trader...yes im also a photographer...yes i am fully qualified with photoshop as well as other image production software as it is a big part of what i do with both my website business and my photography business...and finally yes...im very happy in life !!

hate me np, i can take it....in fact im starting to actually enjoy it !!!

[sunnyr83]

Well said!!

Im a bus driver and a photographer and i don't know how to use photoshop, i pay someone to do it for me.

And you are right, you get slated on every thread, by the same crew!
