How much do boot installs cost and do they sound as good as they look? I might be coming into some money and im thinking about getting one :confused:

Where you from in the Northeast mate ?? , Seen 3 Red GTis in the past 2 days that ive got no clue of who owns em.
 
Boot builds can vary from £1000 anything up to £10000
my mate has spent £7000 in his (that was including all the bits)
but looks really nice
you can have something simple, or you can go crazy

have a look in the "members ride" section under "turners cars" <----i think its that
there are some nice ones in there
 
As Coare said, it all depends... Can cost silly amounts.. Depends if ure after MDF/Fibreglass etc etc

mmm,looks familiar :rolleyes: sure ive seen it in silky,as for install it all depends on budget and if you do it yourself,also depends if you need your boot :D
 
People actually use MDF in the car ?? , bit daft aint it being one of the heaviest woods etc. I'd go for Plywood
 
Supposed to give better sound deadening isn't it - or do people just use it cos it's cheap :)
 
I live in sunderland and normally go down to the arnison center or to south shields. I might have seen you car about what colour is it?

I might be able to get discount there cos i want my car back to 1 shade of red, its about 5 different shades atm :mad: Any idea on the price for a respray?
 
I paid £400 , but thats cos we used to work with him (Eddie Serties) so it was a favour kinda price.

Id guess about 500-600 for the entire outer shell painting. If u want them to paint the insides of the doors , Boot & engine bay (i wouldnt bother) then id guess about 800+ as them bits take days literally.

Although if you do go for repainting the engine bay , physics suggests Black to suck heat away from the engine itself.

Might make it a bit cheaper if you supply the paint n all & get all the colour codes for them. Basicly the less work you do , the more they'll charge.

They buy the paint from MAJ paints (go accross Alexandra bridge , turn left to go past NE-Motorsalvage & take ur next left , its round there) so if you went round there & got it urself (ask eddie what you'd need first) it might make it a bit cheaper , but if anything speed up the process. If you dont know ur colour code , speak to craig in there , he'll be able to match virtually anything to a colour chip.

Oh , if you need ur colour code by the way , open the bonnet & check the chassis plate , its on the bottom row , far right. Could even go for a non-standard shade of red. Would still be able to say its red if you come to sell it , but could maybe choose a better colour (keep tabs on any new codes you pick). Rosso Red anyone :rolleyes:
 
:eek: Thanks thats great i was expecting to pay more than that cos i went to a bodyshop and they quoted me £1500 + £450 for a bit damage to the rear!
 
Ah now thats a bit different , Any dents need to be filled in panel filler & cracks in bumper would probably be done with bridge filler (Fibre Glass) due to it being plastic.

Still.... I doubt he'd charge anywhere near that much.

yep, MDF is much better, more solid and less flexiable, plywood is all too wobbly, weight isnt a massive difference, its either heavy, or a bit more heavier lol
depends on how far you want to take an install aswell, simple like a false floor and sides for amp mounting, or the full on works
