FTO AUSTRALIA

Always tempting me to despoiler, Toby.

btw, what did you use to clean the sikaflex sh*t or whatever it is that was under the stock spoiler?

I dunno man, I re painted the boot, so probably just sanded it off then bogged the holes.

When I first ripped it off I'm pretty sure that watever it was stuck on there with, I just scrubbed off with metho...

Lol, true. Is metho actually good for paint? Guess it didn't matter in your case!

if it helps I used "de-solv-it" from bunnings to remove all the crap when I chnaged my spoiler. it works great and fine on the paint

Round two.

Should have just tinted the primer... And gone a flat black .. The primer spray looks like a bloody good job ...

Well at first the plan was to have a full rspray done in 2k, previouse paint was acrylic so I was going to remove all layers.
Now it's just getting plastic dipped matt black, so it didn't have to be sanded and primed at all lol but at least now it will be ready for a paint in the future if need be.
The dip is supposed to last 5 years, and is a hell of a lot cheaper. A friend is starting his own business, the fto will be one his first cars so we are only paying for material costs $500

And cheers I Found it a lot easier to prime this time round, not sure why

No probs man .. Let's hope it all works out.. $500 is a great price to be a Guinea pig.. I plasti dipped out of a can, and it turned out OK.. But would love to have a crack at using the propper gear.. Am interested to see the durability of it as well.

Looking good thar Detonation

Are the carbon fibre interior pieces dipped or wrapped?

Asked the younger brother to bolt some pipes back on, simple right :/
Then found this little sucker that he forgot.
For those that aren't on Facebook... I blew up the starter motor and am waiting on a new one. Getting close !
