[Anonymous]

Zara are you planning to spray the bar which has the VIN plate and all the stickers on?

 

[Anonymous]

yes mate I am.... really doing my head in that black bar !!

I wouldn't mate, makes the car less original.

 

[Anonymous]

it already has a spoiler and tinted windows.... I think originality is about out mate lol

 

[Neil]

True, but it's one feature that marks the car as original. Should you come to sell, anyone in the know would look at the bar and assume it isn't a real FRP.

although if you were going to do it youd want to respray whole engine bay. Not difficult to prove its an original car regardless of crossmember colour.

It is brought up a lot on RPOC about the cross member colour as their advise is that if it's not a press car and it has a blue cross member then suspect that it's been repaired and painted.

I know this is a silly way of looking at it since you could have just put a straight car in for a full respray and had it painted but it is on the list to look for.

I guess it's because a lot of the re-shells ended up fully painted.

I think it looks more complete myself tbh... just look at some of the photo's of 0165

I know what your saying mate and yep ive seen some pics with the bar painted, just looks a whole lot better IMO,

ATEOTD I have all of the coinciding paperwork to confirm it is an FRP, and tbh if I get it done i'll get it done whilst its at the bodyshop getting the tiny bits of rust sorted.... then if anyone wants to question it, I have a receipt.

Something I'l definately be thinking about though
