Once it had been repaired, it was given a full body re-spray. Classic Red with Blue Pearl. Not like you can really see the Pearl exept for a little bit in the last 2 repaired images. I also fitted my Exhaust ^^

Did you try enlarging both the left and right hand side pics I posted? Because from looking at the thumbnail I see what you're saying but after having looked at both images in full scale I see no difference =)

*goes outside to look at car*

EDIT: I just sat in front of the car for a second and had a look see. I believe it's just the angle of the photo because in RL it looks spot on =) Also, if the headlight happened to be to low/back, it should of failed it's Blue Slip.

ATOMIC · 21-03-2006, 06:42 PM

Just an update =) My car passed it's Vehicle Inspection at the RTA

Couldn't be happier!

pr1mo · 25-03-2006, 01:09 PM

hehe nopice but that headlight is definetly out of wack. compare it to another BA and youll see wat we mean

ssman · 25-03-2006, 03:07 PM

i would have to agree it does not look right...also the rubber seal is missing from under the front edge of the bonnett

ATOMIC · 25-03-2006, 03:36 PM

It is only the photo, both headlights are sitting in the correct position. I had them checked out and the position and aim are both correct. Could you please show me an image of the rubber seal you're referring to, ssman? I'm not sure of what you mean

I'll repost some pics of the headlights in a few.

Mad Mat · 25-03-2006, 03:50 PM

ssman means look on top of the light. there is a 20mm gap. shouldn't there be a seal of some kind there to stop water at stuff.

ATOMIC · 25-03-2006, 10:19 PM

Wouldn't suprise me since that area was where the main damage was. Just for those who don't know, I bought the car damaged and repaired it for expierience. Tomorrow i'll take some more photos or something, sorry I didn't get around to it today.
