De-spoilering the Smurf

Post by Daniel2019 »

No, this is not an EOI for the wing. I will be keeping it! (Plus rock_it has first dibs anyway) I was just wondering what the best way to fill in the holes would be? Dont really want to fibreglass it up and respray the boot... I was thinking of carbon wrapping the boot. Would I have to fill in the holes before wrapping it or will the vinyl wrap be fine to just go over it?

Also, has anyone figured out what the brand of the wing is yet?

Dont be a tight c**t, weld it, respray it. After you've paid for your engine rebuild. In 2027 ;)

Ehhh, I'm just kinda over it at the moment. It looks too bulky and a bit out of place. I may put it back on in the future.

Yeah but I'm trying to avoid respraying just the boot, it's going for a full respray eventually so thats a bit of a waste of time, effort and money.

Edit: Oh and :thebird:

It's not the wait on my end this time, I'm waiting for Nas!

Refer back to 2027 - because realistically, that's when your proposed respray will happen. Fact :-)

Meh, I think I can safely say that by the end of next year I will be onto factory boosted cars and such.

Smurf will be gone by then and the black GR will be finished and sold or kept and tracked.

Turbo cars.

12years in the making for mine.
Bennoz... what's your timeline?

2027 for Daniel is rather hopeful for a respray, let alone a boosted machine. :lol:

From the factory being the notable term.

Unless Daniel's garage is a kind of factory...

Yes you will need to fill the holes otherwise you'll have divets. If you're not keen on a permanent fill some bog will do since you're gonna wrap it

Cheers Schumie that's what I was after. Unsure if I want to wrap it yet, are there any alternatives if I don't wrap it?

Yeah.. Respray after u bog it lol..
I'm re doing the boot off the white car to go mine aswell as de keying it at the same time.
It helps if u can temporarily stick abit of cardboard or something on the inside of the holes, the fill with bog, then sand, then spray with primer filler, then flatten. Then paint.
Because nothing is faster than a p plater in a commodore.....
except maybe a p plater on a unicorn

Is there not little rubber seal insert things available or something? I don't want to respray the boot separate to the rest of the car, waste of time and money.
