I much prefer the s2 handles & skirts, not just for looks but the s3 handles snap for a pastime (especially in the frosty weather), and the s3 16v skirts are always getting knocked off coz they are so low at the back & look tatty when their jacking point covers fall off.

Were you at NAD? Is that where you saw Alex's car? Wasn't at NAD, just going on the pics in this thread. I'm gonna keep mine original i think. As good as they look, I do remember the s2 handles can have a habit of dislocating fingers

Definately prefer the S2 door handles though I prefer the S2 skirts and door handles. However on my car, i can´t do it. I have the S2 skirts & door handles ready to aply, but as my car is totally original, it seems wrong to do it. If i had another one then probably i would do it

Sudmeister	Posted: Thu Aug 16, 2012 2:04 pm    Post subject: Looks like a great job Alex! My 33 is in similar condition to how your was; structurally sound, very little rust, but every shade of red/pink imaginable and in need of a respray (anyone who's seen it will vouch for that). I'd really want them to look at it and quote before I begin stripping (I'm thinking glass out and probably would replace the trim), though I could borrow a trailer to get it to them once stripped. Where are they based? How do I contact them? I think I'll need a replacement front bumper with no cracks and a good offside door mirror too if anyone can help? Cheers - John

AL33NUT	Posted: Sun Aug 05, 2012 11:01 pm    Post subject: Alex, from the pics looks like a great job. I can tell you're happy with it. Wish I could see it in the metal. take plenty of pictures NAD. Are you putting the 33 badges back on? Nnamdi

BigAl	Posted: Sun Aug 05, 2012 9:38 pm    Post subject: lol bit far to travel, I have someone a little closer, the guy who did the restoration work
33bits	Posted: Sun Aug 05, 2012 9:22 pm    Post subject: oh dear, next time get these guys to do it for you.
BigAl	Posted: Sun Aug 05, 2012 12:31 pm    Post subject: Gotcha, I had some work done on my yellow ser 2 and the cowboys didn't remove the ariel and there were lines around it, not impressed, didn't even flatten it out, same around the door lock.
33bits	Posted: Sun Aug 05, 2012 11:57 am    Post subject: I told them just to give it a quick coat of paint & not to go to huge lengths as i couldn't afford to pay them for a 100% job, but they didn't listen & they have done a much better job than i expected. You can't get the side door trims off in tact and a set of new ones cost £145! i had to drawer the line somewhere & i still think the job i got is worth at least twice what i payed. These guys are perfectionists so if the customer wants a perfect job, they will strip the car to the customers needs. 1 of their next projects is to fully respray a 156 GTA, changing it from grey to red & fitting wide fibre glass panels, will be a replica of the touring cars.
BigAl	Posted: Sun Aug 05, 2012 11:39 am    Post subject: lol, they make the 33 look like a toy car for some reason. How come the trims were not removed, can you see any lines ect ect??
33bits	Posted: Sun Aug 05, 2012 11:25 am    Post subject: All done, i'm dead chuffed with the result. Meet Alan & Mark, the 2 guys responsible.

33bits	Posted: Tue Jun 05, 2012 4:10 pm    Post subject: The bodywork is very good, just many shades of red/pink, knackered front bumper, mirrors are tatty and the roof is a tad "sunburnt". Alan is a perfectionist with the cars he works on, if there is a rusty panel he will sort it or replace it before the new paint goes on. The roof is getting there.
