Bright Orange GPX Donaghmede

Postby goz_83 » Fri Jul 04, 2014 1:20 am

Was in Pharmacy in Donaghmede and saw orange FTO flying by and going into the shopping centre. Looks in good shape. Lots back on the road sooner than I thought Karl. George did a great job. How will the light bulbs be changed with the bumper fused to the wings though?

If GVD AUTOS done the body work then the should have lined up the front correctly. Wouldn't rate them if they turn out work like that!

It was up to get some finishing touches i was told. I wouldn't have got the bumpers blended into the body like that. I can't see it lasting, but if the customer asks....

Not my cup of tea, but there is some serious bling off the paint.

The bonnet is a mile out and looks like the wings and bumper can't be adjusted.

Not my style either but good to see, shows the owner really likes this fto and went all out.

Well the car was quite badly damaged, so it's not surprising it needs a bit more of a tweek. It looks much worse off in the photo i have to say. Maybe it's missing the bumper support bar, which would explain the dip and sag. Not sure how it'll be adjusted, but i am sure it'll be managed. I would be more worried about any little tip cracking open the blended sections. My own car has been the victim of many car park idiots.
