Absolutely fantastic advice this!

How are you sanding it down? Are you using an orbital sander which is always best? If not, and you are sanding by hand, always use a sanding block or else your fingers will influence the finish. (you probably already know all that). I've painted a lot of cars over the years, and each car is different from the last car. Part of the problem here is that the filler has very different properties to the fiberglass and so you will often see the imperfections when you paint it due to the different surfaces etc. I would fill the logo's with fiberglass because then you are sticking to the same materials. If you want to go extreme, cut the GT4 logo out, fill the gap with fibreglass and mesh and flatten if off. If you wrap them, the logo may still show through as wrap is extremely thin. I wrapped a mini a few months ago and I couldn't believe that all the shopping trolley dings still showed through the wrap.

This looks like a really good alternative to the usual wrap. I paid £600 to have a mini wrapped a few weeks ago, wish I had known about this concept. I have another car I want to wrap though, think I might give this permiwrap a go

WOOHEY!!!!!!! I'm now a vert!!!!!!!!!!! :qgreenjumpers:

Saw a vert in tip-top condition locally the other day. Can you get a spoiler for the Gen6 vert coughdrop?

This is a very useful thread! Honestly though, I do support the idea of a sticky, great idea and you never know, I might actually end up buying a Vert one day! :wink:

So why not have a Vert sticky in the Gen6 forum section and perhaps the same in the Gen5 one too, that way all the info can be stored in the same thread? Good Compromise I think. The problem with having more sections to the forum is that eventually it's just going to get so cluttered.

I don't mean to sound rude or anything, perhaps I am just a bit nieve when it comes to convertable's, but do they really differ enough to warrant a dedicated forum section? Apart from the lid, what's the difference, many other celica's have leather interiors. Essentially, the vert is a GT, and apart from the back lights, they are very much the same. It's understandable with the GT4's as they have a turbo, different engine parts, drive train, 4x4, body work, costings and lots of other subjects. Just my 2pc.

What about an Auto Thread, plenty of auto's on here?
