After some discussions with doGGy, I have decided that I can't afford to have my Celi totally customised by him. But, I didn't give up on my idea and changed assumptions which made the project feasible.
So it started a week ago. Plan is to: 1) Have all bumps and scratches fixed. 2) Put on a body kit of: Erebuni front, Cougar sides (need customisation for Celi) and OEM rears. 3) Have a GT4 grille installed (hoping for turbo kit project next year ). 4) Paint the body with beautiful Le Mans Sunset colour. 5) Paint the interior plastics with silver mica colour. First steps you can see on the pictures (for now just thumbs from my club's website, I will stick in good quality ones next week) - to be updated weekly for next 2-3 weeks. Then we have a "Toyota Motor Sport" meeting (Celicas, MR2s, Supras) so I will also show how my Celi looks having all the regular ones in the background .

Yea... Saw exactly the same... Looks like there are more areas that are not panted, and the base color shows up on them.... But still everything else turned out great.
