People with C-One Wing Tips

[J e r e M y]

Hi..just wanna know how much you guys got your wing tips painted and fitted?

I got quoted to paint + install my spoiler and wing tips for $495 and another for $440..

Would also like to know if they are any issues with the wing tips on?

The guy i went to see told me that the gap between the wing tip and the spoiler will look shocking..

He also said that it will scratch the side of my car when i pop up my boot..

He said that the gap between the wing tip and spoiler will make it whistle when i drive..i dont want a whistling spoiler =_=

Is your wing tips a perfect fit?? Or is it angled abit or whatever?? Pls do let me know :)

Do you guys also have any issue with popping up the boot n stuff??

Tqs :)

best of luck with the painting and fitting jeremy.

490 seems a bit steep for just painting and fitting

so anyone know any better priced panel beaters to help him out?

I don't have them, but I know Northy's look fine. Maybe he doesn't know how they should fit, and is charging you a high price because he doesn't want to do it.

Also, you should have pointed out that the rear spoiler is attached to the hatch, so I doubt it is going to scratch up your car.

ive had no issues with it, no noises or scratches. If im right i got my Wingtips + Toyota rear kit painted and whole cut for exhaust + installed for under $150 in Sydney. So go somewhere else.

The quotes you're getting a ridiculously expensive.

I got my wingtips, grille, eyelids painted and fitted for $250 and that may still be a little high.. I probably would've got it cheaper if i went around looking for more quotes too.

The panel beater is talking nonsense.. i don't see how it will make a whistling noise and scratch the side of your car when you open your boot. My guess is his never dealt with the wingtips before and has no idea how to fit them. You can actually fit them on yourself, it's quite easy. All you need is a drill and screw driver.

Hope that helps!

[JJCRU23R]

is it hard removing the spoiler?

[CAP]

Skitzo had his wingtips fibreglassed on like that rather than screwed in as per normal, looks so much better.

[saintz01]

give me the tips then.i'll make good use of them.

[J e r e M y]

Anyone have any idea how to combine the wing tips n spoiler that way? :D

Help greatly appreciated :D

anyone??

[iNdCeNt]

deifnately charging you an arm and a leg to put them on....

look around for a better price...

i did mine myself... removed the spoiler.... llined the wing tips up... li bit of silicone and screwed them on...

once i get a cam ill show you ... not the best job but good enough for me...

[Saiya]

Moulding wingtips onto the spoiler, hrrrm thats an idea.

With my tips they fit perfectly, no gaps or whistling sounds. As long as you have the Toyota spoiler and fit it properly you should have no problems at all.

Ive forgotten how much it was to put mine on but it wasnt that much. Shop around your bound to find a better deal.

[J e r e M y]

Took a couple of pics just to let you guys know what I`m talking about :)

Bought a Fibreglass kit.. hopefully i`ll me be able to mould it like how the few of you did..

Any tips and advice? :)

Tqs for all the replies..greatly appreciated.. tqs so much

[Seano]

Is it just me or do us Perth people have to pay more to get work done to our cars then the Sydney siders?

[J e r e M y]

Yes we do. I reckon cos we get less competition...so yeah.. :( sadly

[JJCRU23R]

fibreglass kit would be a bit much... bodyfiller should have been enough

[sinan]

jeremy mate if your not a DIY guy then just keep shopping around for a cheaper price. but i would definately tell you to give it a go yourself. although the painting i would get someone proffesional to do it. give it a go. dont rush yourself. i have never done wing tips but i would imaine it wouldnt be that hard. it is alot of fun to see the progress you make everyday. this will also give you the oppurtunity to bond closer with the car. haha
