No you can still obtain the owners details... go to rmv, you only need to pay Rs. 150/- and they will provide you the details over the counter

Thanks mate Not fully recovered, full recovery would take around 7,8 months as I was told..slight pains are there... but can manage the day to day work and and also I'm using a special seat for spine support when driving which was given by Rumesh88.. Thanks rumesh for the medical seats, it is really helpful when driving

thanks machan Yes, it was boralesgamuwa to be precise

oh its ok peri

Scratched to the metal, removed all parts... the last 2 paint coats were done inside a booth too.. Labour cost was 125k.

Ok so here you go.... the step by step restoration process, updated in my blog https://presealover.wordpress.com/2016/03/21/project-presea-r11/

Thank you rvigi

Hmm... I don't know man, as far as I know, from what I have read and heard.... I rest my case too coz I don't know 100% but since you have found some info, there must be another clasification to the grades... but yes there are Refina, Refina F, Refina L, and Refina S.... my previous car was Refina F, which has only limited features... Refina S is what comes with 1.8l and 2.0l... Refina L is just another grade which has a normal 1.5l engine.. and Refina which is what I have now comes with additional features such as reading laps, sunshade mirrors. And also if you noticed mine has a rear wiper as well.. I have never seen a presea with a rear wiper in SL before... oh and also Refina S comes with fully loaded all 4 disk brakes as well... As I remember iRage you know about these trim levels better than me, as I learnt them from you back then RIGHT?

No its not the fanboys deductions as you can clearly see, the rear light is not crystal.. which means its a CT2... Refina's are the one's that came with crystals Anyway even though the refina sticker is from the side, in the rear, there is a CT2 badge and not the refina badge, which means its a CT2.. Refinas came with Refina badges in the rear like mine... And a refina buffer is the buffer you can see in my car pic... if the GRILL under the bonnet is not divided into 2 parts (U shape) that means its a refina like mine.. if its divided into 2 parts (H shape) that means its a ct2..

Ah great, thanks sampath

ah its the same as mine, yes the cam in my phone suck, that's why it isnt showing properly

thanks machan what sort of? I'd like to keep it original as possible though... that illuminating indigo dash is unique to preseas, where you can reduce and increase the bluish-ness (brightness rather) of the odometer which I like so much

yes its black.. ok will try that out, thanks again

Ohh great thanks a lot davy!

However, there is one thing which I haven't figured out yet... the right tail light, i had previously had a bit of mist after a wash... I thought there must be a leak in the tail light so I bought a new tail light and replaced.. but then again after the wash, even in the new tail light the mist is there... so i assume, the light should be sealed properly maybe after fitting and nothings wrong with the lights?.. coz when i look from above, the left tail light has a sealant kind of thing which water won't go in , whereas in the leaky side, water can directly penetrate in.. so anyone can suggest a good place for me to get it properly sealed or do something where water wont go in? (Somewhere around boralesgamuwa, werahera, pepiliyana or kohuwala would be preferred)

don't have any pics before, coz right away i put it to the paint after buying.. but during the painting process and the whole restoration process I took pics.. thought of putting it to the restoration blog and share it.. waiting for a photographer to agree with me to do a shoot coz in my phone camera, the curves and details cannot be seen much... If Pericles is free for a shoot in any location, I'd be happy to do so

Ah no no I wasn't talking about it being pasted straight,.. I thought NRX was saying the letters pasted seperately looks out of place (which is the font which looks as if the letters are out of place)... I have pasted the entire "refina" sticker in a 45 degrees manner coz, its very hard to paste it straight, the sticker sticks on the hand and if i try to paste it straight i would fail, so pasted it the way it is now... when i bought the car, this badge you are talking was not a badge nor a sticker, it was done with LACQUER...Since its hard to lacquer the font after the new paint, I made a sticker for the side and went with the badges for the rear... with regards to facelifts, yeah the CT2 came with 2 shells... your picture is the first shell (95 model), and then came another bumber lip with the 96,97 ct2's and then finally the refina buffer... even though the one in your picture has a refina sticker, its not a refina, its a 95 model ct2... some ct2 had a side sticker named refina, and no one knows why.. only the crystal light models are known to be refina's...

LOL this is why it is extremely important to find someone who loves your car... If she agrees to have your car as the wedding car, keep her! But sad about ur neighbor...give my regards to your him and don't forget to tell, his family suck
