When contacting us in a warranty case, you must be sure to present a copy of the work order. If in the near future it is not possible to come to eliminate the defect, and by the time of the visit the warranty period may expire - you just need to immediately inform us about the problem upon detection of a malfunction in order to fix the moment of contact, and of course, depending on the malfunction, try not to operate the car so as not to exacerbate the consequences. For example, an oil leak was discovered under the car after an overnight stay, and the client flies away on a business trip or vacation, and so on.

Attention! "Vita-Motors" does not pay for work performed in other services, even if the warranty case has occurred far away - it is better for us to pay for the evacuation of a faulty car, but be sure that this is our fault. I ask you to treat this issue with understanding, unfortunately cases of fraud by dishonest clients have become more frequent.

You changed this and that for me, everything broke down for me, it was far away from you and I fixed it there, I ask you to return the money and / or pay for the repair.

Unfortunately, as the notorious Muller said: You can’t trust anyone .... I can (c)

This, of course, does not apply to our old customers or provided that the service that corrected the defect has long been well known to us. The main thing to remember is that all problems are solvable. Good luck on the roads!

Every person wants to express their individuality. Someone buys clothes, jewelry or collects stamps, and motorists upgrade cars in every possible way. In this case, tuning is the most common way to transform a car. A small number of people can notice the new engine, but the updated body catches the eye right away.

Ordering a bumper or other part in a store is quite expensive, so it makes sense to make a do-it-yourself body kit on a car. With a minimum set of knowledge, you can get a lot of benefits, including:

• Significant cost savings compared to a custom body kit
• The ability to create a unique body kit for the car
• The work is done independently, which means that with due effort it will be done in good faith
• Acquisition of real useful skills

How to make interior tuning we tell in this article. About 3D virtual tuning -.

Preparatory stage

Before you make a body kit, you must dismantle the old one. Depending on the car, body kits can be attached in different ways. For example, the "Japanese" have them glued to double-sided tape and self-tapping screws. Having unscrewed all the bolts, it is required to remove the remnants of adhesive tape. There is an option when the caps are used as fasteners.

With a used car, it can be a little more difficult, because perhaps the previous owner was also a fan of experimenting and secured the body kit with sealant. In order to get rid of its traces, you will have to use professional polishing of the body.

Regardless of the mounting technology, it is recommended to use a garage with a hole or a jack for such work. After detaching the parts, corrosion may be found in the place where the body kit was located. Remove it with a grinder.

Body kit manufacturing

In order to understand how to make body kits for a car, you need to decide what you will make it from. The best material in terms of price / quality ratio is consideredstyrofoam. Before applying it, carefully glue the place of application with adhesive tape.polystyrene foam.

Having finished the preparatory work, we cut it into cubes and stick it where the new body kit will flaunt. The size of the pieces depends on the dimensions of the body kit. Remember to pre-treat the surface that will be adjacent to the machine. Glue the pieces with macroflex . It must be applied in a thin layer. We recommend dicingpolystyrene foamwith a margin. The structure itself is glued in various ways, including:

• High quality double sided tape. Otherwise, the body kit on the car with your own hands will disappear after meeting with puddles
• Sealant, but if you want to remove the body kit again, it can damage the paint

The result obtained is the foundation. The next step is to givepolystyrene foamdesired shape. For this stage, you will need an electric knife, as well as a large skin. When working, it is advisable to pay attention to the following tips:

• Glue cut blocks only on the car
• Your task is to give the piecespolystyrene foamcar body shape. This is done in order to ensure a snug fit of the material to the car body. This solution will reduce the number of cracks and further problems in the following stages.
• It is recommended to lay out the blocks as if brick laying is taking place. Lay them out block by block and meticulously adjust to the desired shape. Of course, you will spend about half an hour on this, but in the future you will understand that the time was not wasted in vain.
• Don't Forget the Minimum Security Precautions

After working with polystyrene foama lot of dirt remains, so there is a possibility that the material can get into the car's air duct. Don't forget to vacuum it.

If you want to make the bumper skirt even, dismantle it and put it on the table. Thus, the work will move faster and better.

Shaping

The shaping of the body is carried out with a large sandpaper of 40 millimeters. Wrapping it on a stick, you get an excellent file. An electric knife is a good tool for rough contouring. Use the "magpie" to give a rough shape. Having reached the limit of half a millimeter to the desired result, go to 80 mm sandpaper.

Regardless of which part of the body kit you make, you need to make every effort to achieve complete symmetry. Before proceeding to the next step, carefully check that all parts of the body kit fit snugly against the body. This work is the most difficult in the question of how to make a body kit with your own hands. Use 40mm sandpaper for adjustments.

Coating

Cover the resulting body kit with a single layer of fiberglass epoxy, which must be cut into small pieces. Apply resin first, followed by fiberglass. Glue the entire body kit. In some places dripping drops of resin are formed. It is recommended to remove them after the resin has cured. At this stage, it will not be superfluous to follow a few tips:

• Stock up on pieces of fiberglass
• To obtain a normal density, lay the fiberglass with an overlap
• Small pieces of fiberglass are easier to glue

A durable layer is achieved by pressing down on the fiberglass with a brush dipped in resin. Run it from the middle to the edges until the material is completely saturated with resin. Avoid the formation of air bubbles.

After drying, start applying a layer of coarse putty. The main problem at this stage will be applying an even layer. This process is necessary to remove all irregularities and flaws. After that, walk sandpaper to remove problem areas. To get the best result, you will have to repeat the procedure several times. Small indentations are removed with putty.

When everything is dry, carefully review the design. Make sure that symmetry is observed and feel free to proceed to the next step on how to make a do-it-yourself body kit. Now you are required to:

• Delete received element from bumper
• Detach the original skirts and wipe them well
• Make a template for the outline of the skirt from the side that is in contact with the fiberglass bumper. Apply multiple layers of fiberglass to keep the template strong
• Carefully unfasten the workpiece from the bumper
• Clear the received part frompolystyrene foam. Do this gradually as the layout loses its rigidity, so treat it with fiberglass and then apply a layer of resin
• Detach the side skirt templates to get the mounting base
• Make a few cuts on the fastening bar, so that later you can connect it to the skirt. Similar undercuts are made on the skirt

Fastening parts

Take a blank made according to a template from the factory bumper mount. Attach it to your skirt with fiberglass and resin. As soon as the structure hardens, fasten the skirt to its regular places using factory bolts.

There is a high probability that the part will sit badly. There may be cracks and discrepancies, but this problem is solvable.

In this case, masking tape and elastic putty will help you, which must be applied along the line of contact between the skirt and the bumper. We are waiting for the solidification of the material. After that, we dismantle the skirt. It will be clearly visible influxes. Remove them carefully.

Now you should increase the flow in the lower part of the skirt, located on the side of the wheel. To do this, take a piece of cardboard. Cut out the desired template and glue it with tape. In order for the cardboard not to lose its shape, strengthen it with two glazing beads . To complete the work on the body kit on the car with your own hands, there are a few steps left:

• Apply multiple coats of fiberglass resin to stiffen the structure
• After the resin, we process the part with putty and level the surface with sandpaper
• You will most likely have to apply several layers of putty to get a smooth surface.
• Try the item on the car

When you have done the whole front of work, you need to pay attention to one detail. When the wheels of the car are turned sideways, a gap in the skirt will be visible, so it is necessary to make protective corners, which are made using elastic putty, cardboard and masking tape by analogy with a stiffener. Now you know how to make body kits for a car.

Our main direction is the production of both replica body kits and individual projects. Fiberglass, DuraFlex, composite materials - there are a huge number of names. But the essence is the same - products created in a matrix way using resin, fiberglass and a bunch of various additives. There is an opinion that such products are fragile, short-lived, frost-resistant. NO. This may be the case if you order a body kit from China or garage production - where there is total savings on everything in production. All products that we offer are made only using expensive and time-tested components from leading manufacturers. She is not afraid of frost or high temperatures under the hood. The most important thing is to produce the first color in the chamber at a temperature not exceeding 35 degrees - so to speak, for hardening. The main advantage of fiberglass is its maintainability. In case of a slight damage, or even a violation of the geometry with missing elements, it is easy to restore it. But due to the nature of production, such products will almost always require adjustment when installed on a car. From small to global, depending on the quality of the matrix.

ABS plastic or fiberglass - what to choose.

About the features of fiberglass, we have already said. Let's now consider an alternative material in the production of aerodynamic body kits - ABS plastic - an injection molding method. Externally and in properties, these products are similar to the original plastic. The same elastic, light, not requiring adjustments during installation (if it's not China, again). But in absolutely any cases, such products are an order of magnitude higher in price, due to completely different production costs. Also, in case of damage, the product is quite difficult to restore, as it loses its structure.

Any body kit, even small-scale, distinguishes the car from a number of conveyor brothers. And what can we say about the production of body kits to order. A car with an exclusive body kit can go down in history and surprise more than one generation of tuning fans. Let's figure out who and how makes a body kit to order.

Prices for body kits of finished parts can be found in the auto market, in the additional equipment department of an auto dealer, on a specialized website on the Internet, or from a familiar tuning pirate. They will also calculate the cost of fitting, painting and installation. The advantage of a finished body kit is its relatively low cost and predictable result. The disadvantage of an inexpensive body kit is the low quality of workmanship and fit (the manufacturer saves on the quality and quantity of materials, and the installer on the fit time). And only owners of expensive cars (Porshe, Bently, Ferrary, etc.) can count on an attentive attitude - accurate manufacturing and careful fitting of parts. But the cost of these services approaches the cost of manufacturing on an individual project.

From a master by ability.

It is not often that an artist becomes a designer, and even less often a designer becomes a layout designer. And to make a good tuning, in addition to a designer and a layout designer, you need a moulder, a fiberglass technologist and a locksmith. It is clear that in this situation there are not enough good universal specialists for everyone.

Any exclusive body kit begins with a discussion of artistic and technical specifications. If your designer is a good artist, then in a week or two he will prepare a design proposal of two or three options in beautiful drawings. The more beautiful the designer is paid, the more beautiful he draws - after all, the customer implies that the execution will be as beautiful as the drawing ...

Next, the layout designer gets to work. The best option is when the designer himself sculpts the body kit from plasticine, otherwise two will be stomping around the layout - the designer and the layout designer, and two have to pay a salary. In the course of modeling, the modeler (or designer) must apply his knowledge of fiberglass technology, or invite a technologist for consultation. It's good if the technologist and the molder are the same person, otherwise the team grows to a quartet.

A metalworker helps to put the molded parts of the body kit into place, although the manufacture of metal fasteners and amplifiers should not be a problem for a good modeler. Adjusts the gaps and levels the surface of the parts of the body kit, as a rule, the modeler himself, if the preparer from the paint shop does not undertake this work. Isn't it all a bit confusing? What if there is no link? Therefore, universal specialists are highly valued, capable of doing everything “from scratch”, that is, from drawing to development (checking in one color) of the installed body kit, to do everything on their own. And not only independently, but also quickly and at the same time without loss of quality.

I define the speed test as the time it takes to front bumper manufacturing. For a good craftsman, work can take from three weeks to a month. The rear bumper is usually more concise in shape (but larger) - a few days faster. Two door sills are obtained in three weeks. With arch extensions, depending on their design (for example, a complex closed section), you can carry up to a month.

So that I can live like this ... and work.

Have you ever wondered why it is so difficult to find the executor of your grandiose plans to conquer the tuning Podium? I suspect it's a job specific issue. A good craftsman must master the skills of a sculptor and understand the laws of shaping complex technical objects. Both require a long learning curve, not to mention artistic ability and taste. Multiply these aesthetic tasks by anti-hygienic conditions for their implementation. Can you imagine this Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde rolled into one? Now think about how much money you yourself would agree to do this. Salaries are small and therefore in Moscow, for example, there are only a few such “monsters” of tuning.

Each customer according to his needs.

But suppose we are not interested in these people in masks and protective overalls. The manager who meets you at the "reception" also participates in the distribution of income from the sale of your tuning. But what about the profit of the enterprise, and the cost of rent and materials? What about taxes? Okay, I won't talk about sad things.

The price of the work (especially if you are bargaining with the direct contractor of the project) can be significantly affected by the complexity of the shape of the product itself. For example, the larger the bumper and the more kinks and small parts on it, the longer and more difficult it is to make. An experienced designer can help reduce the price of work if he offers a spectacular and at the same time relatively simple body kit. The luxury of boundless imagination can only be afforded if you have significant funds and time. Deep tuning "in a circle", with the replacement of bumpers, hood, trunk lid, fenders and door linings, can take a team of modelers to work for more than a year.

Count yourself.

Every employee knows roughly how much they pay monthly to specialists in their region. A tuning master, depending on qualifications, earns the same as workers in other fields of activity. The average production time of a part shows how much an employee in a tuning company is paid for it (relative to his average monthly salary for the transaction).

Estimated production time for tuning parts on an individual project(without painting):

————————————————simple complex

1. Bumper front, rear 3 4 weeks

2. Bumper skirt (spoiler) 2 3 weeks

4. Door sills 2 3 weeks

5. Arch extensions 2 4 weeks

6. Rear wing 2 4 weeks

7. Hood 3 4 weeks

8. Wing 2 3 weeks

9. Eyelashes 2 pcs. 2 days 1 week

10. Headlight replacement (new housings) 1 2 weeks

If the employee's salary is multiplied by three, then the cost of the part for the customer in the tuning workshop will be obtained. For a private tuning master, the price of a part for a customer can be a third less than in a specialized company.

A body kit for a car is a technology for the production of body kits to order.

Just as animals look like their owners, cars reflect the inner world of their owners. One of the ways to emphasize your individuality and highlight your car in the traffic flow is car tuning, that is, changing the technical characteristics or appearance of the car. A body kit for a car is an element of external tuning. A body kit made to order will make your car unique among millions of others in Moscow.

Body kits for a car can not only give it a brutal and strict, or a dynamic and sporty look, but also improve technical characteristics. Tuning body kit reduces aerodynamic air resistance, facilitates handling at high speeds, improves maneuverability.
The body kit of the front bumper serves to streamline the front of the car and better grip on the roadway. Body kits thresholds and rear bumper eliminate air turbulence that impairs the stability of the car. The rear wing also prevents the car from taking off from the road. And the spoiler redistributes the oncoming air flow. Air ducts and air intakes direct airflow to cool the brake system and radiator. Cilia on the headlights, radiator grille, wheel arch extensions, various linings and moldings do not improve aerodynamic performance, but are tuning the car's exterior.

The production of body kits for cars is carried out from different materials, which have their own advantages and disadvantages. So, ABS plastic is distinguished by low cost and lightness, however, it has a narrow operating temperature range and is subject to the negative effects of ultraviolet radiation and chemicals. Polyurethane and carbon have a number of advantages over plastic, however, they are unreasonably expensive. A bespoke body kit for a car made of fiberglass is the best choice in terms of price and quality of this material. A wide temperature regime of application, plasticity, lightness and strength allow you to create masterpieces of auto-tuning from fiberglass - fiberglass impregnated with resin.
The production of custom body kits is a labor-intensive procedure, consisting of several stages.

First of all, you need to decide on the design of the future body kit. It can be either universal, suitable for a similar car model, or made individually according to your drawings and sketches. Then, a body kit tuning model for the car is molded from foam, sculptural plasticine or polyurethane. At this stage, it is possible to make changes and express wishes by the customer regarding the appearance of the body kit.

In the future, 3D technologies come into play. With the help of a 3D scanner, the coordinates of all points of the car are recorded, which is necessary for the most accurate fitting of parts. Also, by means of 3D scanning, the fasteners of the future body kit for the car are determined. Life-size models of parts are modeled using special engineering programs. Subsequently, the 3D model of the car and the computer model of the body kit are compared, and then the matrix is ​​designed.
The manufacture of the matrix itself is a complex and time-consuming process. The operator on the computer builds a model that must be reproduced with absolute accuracy. On modern machines with numerical control, 3D milling occurs with several cutters in different planes according to the coordinates specified by the operator. 3D milling on a CNC machine allows you to accurately and in sufficient quantities produce parts with complex geometry.

Then, according to this fiberglass matrix, body kit tuning parts for a car are made. Subsequently, a wax-based release agent is applied, polishing the surface and facilitating the removal of the part from the matrix in the future. From the inside, the matrix is ​​covered with a special protective and decorative gelcoat composition, which smoothes the relief and prevents the surface of the part from “bubbling”.

The process of manufacturing a part from fiberglass consists of alternately applying fiberglass reinforcing material and special resins to the matrix. Layers should be laid and compacted at the intervals necessary for the resin to cure.
After the part takes on its original shape, it is carefully removed from the die. The final stage is coming. The part is carefully puttied, finally sanded and painted.
This is just one of the ways to make a body kit for a car. The method of spraying, contact molding, pressing, infusion can also be used in the manufacture of custom body kit tuning.

High-quality car tuning gives it a certain character and style. A unique custom-made aerodynamic body kit for the car will set you apart from millions of drivers of identical stock cars in such a huge metropolis as Moscow and will attract the admiring glances of passers-by and neighbors downstream.
All the characteristics of this type of car tuning appear only at high speeds. Installing such a part as an aerodynamic body kit for a car by a non-specialist can lead to a disastrous result. For example, a poorly screwed spoiler that flew off at the time of the race on the highway can cause not only regret about "thrown away" money. Therefore, our specialists will not only produce for you an original custom-made or universal body kit, but also install it.
