This is going to be banging Matt, I’m tempted to buy one of those kits as well…..maybe I could bring it back with me this year?

Will this be ready for Spa?

I hope so
They didn’t have the kits there, they sent on after

You won't regret it. Are you going back to a standard spoiler?

Thanks Rob.
No, I’m going for a Marugen Shoukai one

 

[Rob Gaskin]

Ok, but not a moulded one like before. Yellow or grey/black.

Grey, same colour as the arches.
No, not filled, just bolted on

IMO that is a very good decision - I hope I influenced you. You have made good choices with this car which can only add to it's desirability.

Do you have a paint code for the yellow to obtain an accurate match? Body mod is looking good.

No, we don't, it was painted in the 90's I beleive so matching could be interesting !

Thanks Rob, It was always on the cards to change the back end, I just had to save up !!

They can do wonders now when matching paint. I took the filler flap off my 240 down to a local paint supplier (car was resprayed in a 110-like orange/red 20 years or so ago). I just wanted a tin of touch-up I could paint on with a brush for stone chips and the like. They found a 90s Dodge colour that was very similar.

My mate is a Painter,done apprenticeship back in 1976 and they matched paint by hand/eye so an old school painter shouldn’t have a problem matching the colour although a lot of things have changed over the years,machines still can’t do everything ( yet )
car is looking good

A spectrophotometer will be able to provide the initial component mix for the colour but may need a little fine tuning to perfect it after spraying samples.

Hey there, I've been looking at getting a power steering upgrade for my 240 also.
If you don't mind me asking how much was this the ezpowersteering upgrade?
