Bealieboy 1,625 Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Thanks for the offer but I am gonna rip the piece of crap out. Carl is coming up Sunday to do it. I will throw a clutch in his at the same time 🏻 Keep an eye on him Dave, make sure he's not ripping out your heated seat loom or your heater controls, it's a comedy of errors when he works on his own car!

bennyk 1,238 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Just don't put it on to wet, best thing is to walk away from it for a while in between coats, otherwise you'll get impatient keep spraying laquer on there and you'll end up with more on the floor than on what you're spraying! ky_uk, daveyboy and Bealieboy 3 Link to post Share on other sites

infilTRAITOR 8 Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Hey all, I've been waiting for this weekend for a while and the weather was on my side The original driver-side fog light cover fell out this week on dual-carriage way so I've finally popped in the lights my other half got me last year for my old 1.8 Driver. It took a little jiggery pokery but are working. And removal of very rusty screws. Lots of WD40 and creative language was used. I also removed the grille and sprayed the black properly as was bare plastic and looked cheap And changed the VR6 badge back to silver as previous owner had it green And I've unfudged the shoddy HID install that came with the car Aligned the headlights so not to blind people Sanded down and sprayed the wiper arms black and lacquered Removed badly applied carbon fibre effect vinyl from plastic trim above grille Tidied the sub in the boot as paint was chipping off Removed number plates that came with car (show plates) and installed road legal ones. Treated them to number plate covers as well (partially to cover up the mess around the rear one which was stuck on with foam pads) Repaired number plate lights Now I'm starting to tape off the plastic trim so I can apply some Forever Black and get out the pressure washer. I still have many things to tick off the check-list so let's hope the weather gets better but I had heaps of fun 35i-VR6 and Bealieboy 2 Link to post Share on other sites
