Hey Guys,

I was originally going to sell my Manual TE Magna, and purchase a 2003 Magna Sports, but now im thinking I will hang on to it and spend a bit of spare cash on it.

Now, I have a big dent above the drivers front wheel, so I need to get a new panel for that, while im at it, I want to throw a body kit on her and get her resprayed a nice deep green.

Can anyone tell me of some good sites online with pics so I can get some ideas of what kit to get ?

So far, ive got a budget of $10,000.

Allowing for the following:

$2000 for wheels and tyres
$7000 for new panel, paint and body kit.
$1000 for new clutch

forget the paint job unless u really have the cash to blow, otherwise hows about a TJ conversion? Boot + grill for the front, bootlid + lights for the rear...

will keep the cost down (unless she's really dented/scratched/rusted etc)

They sell a few diffrent types of kits of the magnas

Thats a Big budget, i kno if i had the money to spend on looks for my magna would be KJ boot with diamante garnish with KJ rear lights, ralliart kit all round minus spoiler and prob get 99 diamante grill (like a KF except chrome center aswell) and maybe paras.

Paint all that up and it looks good

She has quiet a few scratches on her and just looks really untidy at the moment, which is why id like to get her resprayed. How much would I be looking at for a respray ?

$5k+, depending on whether its pearl/metallic etc, and even more if you want the complete car done (engine bay etc)

honestly, i dont think a TE is worth a complete respray, plus the rest... not just to fix her up a bit

Lots
for a good one i hear its about 5-6k
and thats standard colours!
try the JVM front bar, looks sweet!

Ouch.. I honestly wasnt expecting it to be quiet that much. That kind of throws a spanner in the works.

hmm.. I may as well sell the car now, and purchase something newer, because if I was to keep her, she would need a respray.

think thats the sight,pretty sure they may have a partnership with jvm not very sure. but the bars are bout 350 last time i check

my boss got a full respray (but not the engine bay i dont think) for about 3000-3500. but that was for a celica. not sure whether that makes a diff.
