I want to get some GTechniq C4 to make the black platsics on the Defender back to black again. No idea how much I will need as I can't remember how far the 15ml bottle went the last time I had it.
Need to cover the front light surrounds, grill and wing mirrors as a minimum. If it will cover the...
I remember when I did my Ph1 ITB conversion there was a bit of re-wiring in the ECU plug. I was using a GEN90 ECU though which apparently are for Ph2. All you need to do is swap a few wires around in the plug. A lot of it is detailed in my old project thread or HERE
I assume as the ECU you are...
Reducing the collection, free up some time and money for the other cars I own.
I won’t be buying your Ph1 sorry, I have a problem but not that much of one to need another that quickly!
I will try and keep the red barge out the way as I’m sure I won’t be the fastest in it. I’m looking forward to be able to drive it faster and harder than I can/allowed on the roads.
Ironically it is the most powerful car I own…from new….210bhp back in 1989.
Tempted to get a set of better brake...
I’ve used Gtechniq C5 and Gyeon Rim before. Both very good. The Gyeon stuff was meant to be rated to a higher temperature so I had the stuff in track wheels. I used the C5 stuff off a set of winter wheels this year and held up really well in the crap weather.
I rattle can’d the bumper on my Ph1.
Does it look better than it did - yes.
Could it be better without a proper respray - no.
Do I regret doing it - no.
I only did it as the whole bumper was like flat and faded and no amount of polish was going to get it back. Did a few coats of plastic...
I've used the stuff in the past, very happy with the results. As Clio_fool has shown and said it is a lot better than leaving it untreated. I also went over it with a DA polisher and that helped.
Another trick I have used is just get some paint mixed up as an aerosol and apply in the same way...
Join the club. I’ll be in the big red barge and it might have more power out the factory than a 182 I have a feeling it will be the slowest thing out there!
I remember having to do this back in 2020 when it all kicked off for all our code base and repositories. Couldn’t have slave, master, black lists, white lists. Still have some of the words kicking about which is apparently ok now.
And in a previous job we were the Image Analysis team so...
Ran out of wheel cleaner. Found some Autoglym Clean Wheels in the shed. Actually not that bad! Sprayed on, waited, jet washed off and all the dirt had collected nicely to be washed off. Granted the wheels have been coated in C5 and it was only light dirt but I was impressed for something found...
