[Mk2] [Generic] pics of border rear wanted! as many as poss! (for bodyshop to see)

Post by dansREV2turbo »

im not totally happy with the way the bodyshop i used have fitted my rear spats.
i just want as many pics as possible (straight on from the rear if poss) to show them how they should be fitted, as they say its the spats, not them.

they are neos spats by the way, the sides are purfect so i have no reason to doubt the qualty of the rears.

please help out !!! :pray: :eye:

The lines should look level from the back bud.

If I had to guess and assuming the holes are not pre drilled,I reckon they have put the holes in the wrong place as this would affect the look of the angle of the spats above the rear pipes.

And the bodyshop should have sorted it no matter what mate so I wouldn't ever use them again if I was you, as obviously they don't take no pride in making sure the kit looks right.

I always think border spats look fitted wrong, it's just the way they are... they always look like there falling off to me.

Sorry no pics as i blended mine in (when i had them)

my spats are blended too, the lines on mine are BOTH on angles, im not really bothered by that, but the fact they are on 2 different angles does!

dead on from the back you can see more of 1 tyre one side than the other.
needless to say, i will never be using that bodyshop again.

actually, ill take a pic.... walks outside......

what do you think, am i being too picky!!
my mrs can notice it and shes a woman! (no offence women!! :wink: )

Drivers side one looks like its at to much of an angle to me.

Even when there fitted right i think they look wrong :?

But i would of thought the bit that gos down nearest your exhaust should be straight ( vertical )

I ended up fitting mine completley wrong on purpose cause i didnt like the hanging off look.

thats what i thought, tbh, i dont know if id trust to leave the car with them again, especially as they think im being picky and its not down to them (its the spats :roll: )

i always think of the worst that can happen (ie. they rag the boobs off it in nuteral from cold) just to get me back for all the work they have to re do for free. :?

Drat, mine slope up towards the centre of the rear of the car (looked better than totally level when I did it and would have required cutting the rear bumper at the exhausts to fit level) but this doesn't look right according to that white MR2 in the other post. They have still to be smoothed in and the whole bumper re sprayed.

Pic now in garage: Image (PS, it's the one on the right!)
