Graphics

toot · Post by **toot** » Tue Jul 01, 2003 9:15 pm

Hi all.

I'm thinking of getting some graphics put on my CC. I have no idea about fitting these things so can anyone point me in the direction of somewhere that does?

I want to know about costs and so on. Also, i wash the car with a jet spray, would that cause the graphics to peel away? I'd like to be able to give them a rough design then have them smarten it up, produce them and apply them to the car for me.

Any help appreciated, thanks guys.

no please dont

its not big and its not clever to put stick on graphics on your car........

it really does not look good on a town car like a CC

save it for when you get an evo or skyline please!!!!

Normally I think its tacky but after watching The fast And The Furious the 5th time, 2 Fast 2 Furious the 2nd time and watching the turbo edition of Fast And Furious with the feature on "tricking out a car", I'm thinking it might be quite cool.

I'm thinking though that if I want to seriously start modifying motors, I'd rather get a Civic Type R to do it with. Not that I have any money or anything.

How can I get in touch with mellie? He's not on here anymore is he?

I think he still checks the site - I think he posted this weekend actually.

Best bet is to PM him - then at least he'll get an e-mail saynig he's got a message waiting.

Well, according to the feature on how to do all these mods (as presented by the guy who was actually responsible for it in the first film), the ones they did for an EVO VIII are actually stick ons. they show how its done etc. And, if you watch the first film, they show the Supra being done and you see Michelle Rodriguez applying the sticker to it, not painting (not that I think Rodriguez is an authority on this, obviously).

I think the ones on Mellies car are quite cool myself. Each to their own.

i aint gonna argue this point but if you wanna listen to someone in the know then listen if not do what ya want........

Well, according to the chappy, it was not a stunt car. They actually took an EVO VIII for the feature, resprayed it, fitted ICE, all the new bits in the engine, stuck on the graphics and tested it on the rollers. It wasn't a stunt car, it was actually done for real and they spent about $50,000 on it. According to them anyway.

I'm not saying you don't know Erm but this chap does this stuff for a living. This is also why I've asked for links to people who do know because I don't have a clue apart from what I'm told. Still, stick on or sprayed on, neither here nor there to me really. If I get it done, I'm not taking it back so who cares how its applied.

You sure the EVO VIII wasn't in the film? Paul Walker definitely drove an EVO, I assumed it was the VIII. They all look the same to me anyway and I'm not keen on them, too boxy looking. Preferred the Mitsi Spyder that Tyrese had. I do like the Skyline though, can pick up a GTR R32 over here for about Â£9k apparently and, if tweaked right, you can get 1,200BHP out of them!!

I thing Mellies car looks ok, as you say its each to their own.

I agree about 2F2F too....I MUCH preferred the Skyline to the Evo...the EVO looks like a bag of nails compared to some of the other cars. I liked the S2000 but in electric pink it was more of a girls car

Yeah, the pink was shite but the bodykit was fab. Also liked a couple of the MR2's in there and that Dodge Viper!!!! Then of course there is the Supra, mmmmmmmmmmmm. I need a load of money

The thing with the EVO's is that they just look like a load of boxes from Sainsbury's selotaped together. I was up in Doncaster when i saw 2Fast and they had an EVO VIII sitting on display in the Warner cinema itself. Was grey/silver and looked a bit nasty. Nice wheels though. Could find a better way to spend Â£27k. As I say though, the Spyder was my favourite. I would rather have had that than have that Mendez bird riding in my motor.

I thought the girl who drove the S2000 was minging...but the undercover cop? :yes:
