Medicine_Man Posted April 22, 2005 Report Posted April 22, 2005 the panels aren't the best fit but they are new. Thats because of copyright issues, they can't be exactly the same as a factory item.. Quote
Medicine_Man Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 its got nothing to do with being mass produced thats bullshit Quote
Medicine_Man Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 I never said they were not mass produced you f@$king moron, I said that the fact they are mass produced doesn't mean thats why they are not the same as the factory items.. Quote
demuire Posted April 23, 2005 Author Report Posted April 23, 2005 Haha, well we definately need a new bonnet. As much as we like to hail the god of fibreglass bog, the bonnet is looking rather very unsalvageable... So we're using it to paint stuff on, just for fun. Holes and all :P Quote
trd Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 well copyright only lasts about 15years. most car parts aren,t copyrighted because of the cost. the reason these panels don,t fit so good is the tawian people make about 1000 to 2000 from 1 mould,,,,,,as for toyota, they only use the mould for about 20 hope this clears things up Quote
Super Jamie Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 i think you'll find 0.6mm panel steel doesn't even worry a huge panel press like toyota would have. i don't know heaps about building cars, but i'd say it's a fair bet they don't re-make their tooling every 20 cars they make hey, they'd spend more time and money on workshop equipment than actual building of cars, and would soon go bust taiwanese panels aren't perfect because they're probably made from copies of a panel that was already 15-20 years old at the time, and for the same reason any cheap asian crap doesn't do what it should do, poor manufacturing process perpetuated by simple people who don't understand what they are doing and are working for 4 cents an hour Quote
Super Jamie Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 oh, and fook, i have 2 bonnets here which you guys can just have. one's the original bonnet from your car (of course, the bonnet i sold you with it is much better), one's from lucky's ke55 no idea how to get them from there to here but anyway :P does the camry have roofracks? next time you do a goldcoast run in it, i could come up in the van Quote
demuire Posted April 26, 2005 Author Report Posted April 26, 2005 Jamie: Thanks for that. Would have to organise something. Yes the Camry has roofracks. Quote
Super Jamie Posted April 26, 2005 Report Posted April 26, 2005 cool, i'll put your name on them and stop trying to offload them onto people on forums then :D Quote
