Life is So lovely at times isn't it? /Sarcasm... - silestanix - 25-03-2013
So, as a few of you know I'm on the hunt for a Phase 1 D-Turbo/XSI/GTi/S16 bumper with fogs...now my car is Genesis blue, for which finding spare parts is a real headache, and DT bumpers even more so...so imagine my annoyance when I find exactly that...across England and half way into Ireland...

Genesis? Not sure I've even seen one before! Miami blue looks similar. Is it the same colour as Jonny Bs S16?

I could, I've never ever sprayed anything before though...could I get the colour made up and then put into spray cans or something?
RE: Life is So lovely at times isn't it? /Sarcasm... - ozonehostile - 25-03-2013
yeah most decent paint places will be able to do it in rattle cans for you
RE: Life is So lovely at times isn't it? /Sarcasm... - Shea - 25-03-2013
Can you not just get it parcled over to you? might be cheaper than buying and respraying one??

I could mate but I've had things turn up broken many times and I just don't wanna risk paying so much to have it turn up broken...

Mines is defo sigma!

My old DT was Genesis, it's a bitch to find parts for so I gave up in the end.
I think it was a phase 1 only colour, and not too well sold either.
Also it looks so much like Sigma on internet pictures that you have a real hard time judging eBay/Gumtree unless the seller really knows their stuff.
RE: Life is So lovely at times isn't it? /Sarcasm... - puglove - 26-03-2013
If you wanted it that bad youd take the risk and have the one on gumtree posted. pay by paypal that way your momey is cover'd . so untill then stop your fecking moaning
RE: Life is So lovely at times isn't it? /Sarcasm... - r3k1355 - 26-03-2013
If you want it that bad just buy any colour and spray it.

If we're on the subject of life treating us well (Sarcasm)... I managed to pick up a Penalty notice in a car park today, when closing the boot lid, the pressure must have blown my parking ticket over hiding the date and time. Now i have a fine to pay
RE: Life is So lovely at times isn't it? /Sarcasm... - Niall - 28-03-2013

RE: Life is So lovely at times isn't it? /Sarcasm... - Rich306 - 28-03-2013

Hmmm...Can't you send them a letter with the ticket as proof...? That's proper rotten luck though...get yaself a little parking ticket clip like mine, sticks to side of windscreen and keeps parking tickets held...best £1 i've ever spent lol
