Should've dewipered it! Hope you put the arm back on with lots of copper grease.
Out of interest why didn't you just get some back to black?

Nope, no copper grease

Because i'd back to blacked it a few times, and it just slowly fades again. The part was £5 and it was relatively easy to do. Freshly painted spoiler and the wiper cover should tidy the back up nicely!

 

[ADS_V6]

Just don't drop the freshly painted spoiler when fitting

I'd get it popped back off and get some copper grease on it mate. Should make it lots easier next time as they easily rust/seize on again. I know you have the tool now but still.
Fair play on the back-black. I've been looking into getting some of the more expensive stuff but you get like 30ml for £30! Crazy. It seems to be the only thing that works though.

Yeah spoiler should look ace. Look forward to seeing it on.

When I was taking the old one off I could hear it catching on the roof etc as i moved the boot hopefully I avoid it with the new one!

Put a microfibre under the lip, or do it with the lid down and screw it up from the inside. Get an extra pair of hands as it really helps.

£80 it should be.. agreed the price about 12 months ago haha so hopefully hasnt put it up. Had quotes up to £300 iirc, mental.

Good idea mate thanks

Spoiler still isnt back from the painters, grr, over a week.

Nothing exciting.. fitted a new pollen filter as recommended by @Louis' - as usual though, I broke something. The little plastic pop screw thing which holds down the scuttle wouldnt go back in and snapped.. any one have any spare?

Cheers mate!

Also bought some of this wax, courtesy of @ADS_V6 - rated quite highly on detailing world! Will try it out in a couple of weeks. Strangely looking forward to a good polish and wax.. dont think it has been washed since the end of October!

Just realised you've had this 4 years!

Good effort pal!

When I first met my wife she had a Flamer... It's part of the reason I have mine now... I absolutely loved that car... (Pre private plate)

That looks smart mate!

Yeah, just ticked over 4 years. No idea how I afforded the insurance just before my 19th birthday! Strangely enjoy the car just as much as I did when I got it. Can't see me selling it either as it's a great little reliable car (touch wood).

 

[Chris_Beer]

Can't put a price on that

Whats that lowered on mate?

 

[Chris_Beer]

Whats that lowered on mate?

H&R Monotube coilovers on Trophy Turini's... Nearly 8 years ago now :fearful:

I have the exact same coilovers for sale too

 

[Stay Puft]

Recaros, yay.

Hopefully fit them at the weekend, just waiting on a deep 13mm socket to arrive.

 

[imprezaworks]

What seats?

You've set yourself up nicely for all the Cs virgins.

Good luck lol

 

[leedsboy]

That like was for your bird, not the seats

In seriousness, I've just put Recaros in mine, they don't seem as supportive as the standard seats but the look ace.

 

[Daz...]

Well done, looking good.

Seats are alright I guess.

 

[Stay Puft]

Haha cheers mate.

Yeah I can see what you mean. Worth it for the looks though.

They're in mint condition though, very happy with them.

If you've got the money/if Jon still does them, I'd recommend the lowered frames from @JON FOZ.

I got both his standard height ones and lowered ones and the lowered ones make the driving position so much better.

 

[Stay Puft]

Yeah i'd love them but cant justify spending any extra money on goodies for a while

 

[leedsboy]

I know what you mean, I'm in the same boat at the minute.

 

[James H]

I have a 13mm socket she can use :wink:

Hmm, your penis is a little longer than 1cm??

 

[ADS_V6]

Seats look great
I would get some alacantra cleaner for the seats.Brings them up great

That's just the diameter, Duh...

Wait...

Yeah will do. The base of the drivers seat is a bit shiny.. best way to sort?

Same on mine mate.New base I would think tbh

 

[Stay Puft]

Errr no thanks haha. Ive seen people sort it on suede steering wheels so there must be a way!
