A pressure washer (eg one at a car wash) shouldnt be able to strip paint off a car, correct? I've had my car washed dozens of times even when I have sprayed some parts myself on my old car and it has never taken paint off or even damaged paint.
Ill post some pictures up soon, but it looks like...
Managed to clip a kurb in the ice and snow. Damage is light and shown in the pics below. What are my options for fixing? Recently had these powder coated... would it be possible to touch up myself with a gloss black pen?
Haven't had any recent pics of the car here and recently had my alloys powdercoated in black.
If anyone remembers them they were some chrome/black TSW and I know they wern't to everyones taste (inc mine) but imho the powdercoat has made a world of difference. So happy with how the car looks...
Anyone got any recommendations? Looking to get them done as cheap as possible tbh...
Place in bradford that does the ol' £1 an inch deal seems the cheapest but I cant find anywhere close to that price a bit more local. Bradford lot want to keep the wheels for 2/3 days which would mean 2...
The following fuse keeps blowing in my car :(
Am I right in thinking its a 10a that goes there? I keep replacing it and it blows every day more or less. I'm thinking its a slight short curcuit but have no idea where to start looking. Took out the rear clusters and everything seems in order...
I've recently purchased a 1.5tb external HDD (3.5" mains powered) to replace my 250gb (2.5" usb powered)
However, when watching a movie for example the movie 'lags' randomly (every 5-10 mins) and i heard the hard drive head parking as if it is shutting down then it comes back..
This is very...
All my dashboard lights have stopped illuminating (with the exeption of the clock/odo/computer)
So
- no dials (speedo/revs)
- no window switch lights
- no lights on the headlight adjustment/dash brightness adjustment panel
- the light that tells me if main beam is on still works lol
- no...
Going back to uni in a few weeks so decided to put my rear interior back in. Now.. I cant remember exactly how the seatbelts were fitted and how long is it going to take me to put them all back? (wish i would have left them in now :( )
Cba with the hassle tbh! Wish I could press 'undo' lol...
On each bonnet jet there are normally 2 'eyes' for squirting fluid.. one of mine has stopped working so it looks strange when it sprays and doesnt cover properly!
How do you remove/clean/replace the washer jets?
Thanks,
Ahmed
- Laguna splitter
- Carbon Fibre (vinyl ;) ) front badge
- Exhaust fitted PROPERLY!
- HAPPY HAPPY DAYS!
Really happy with the front splitter and the position of the exhaust! Not sure about the front diamond looks a bit bad up close but other than that it looks good :D...
After fitting an exhaust myself need somewhere to check it over and replace the rear mount and make a new hanger.
Any ideas?
All I can think of is topgear/rtec but I swore I'd never go to rtec because of there rip off prices and I have no idea about topgear
Fitted my exhaust today, sounds amazing!
HOWEVER I had many problems (and still may!)
Go easy guys.. I have never fitted an exhaust before
First problem occured when fitting the exhaust... discovered the welds surrounding one of the rear hangers had cracked! Had to call out an emergency mobile...
I'm planning on fitting an exhaust tomorrow and I'm gnna just cut the old one off so don't need to drop the rear beam.
If I jack up the car From the sills what's the safest place to use axle stands on the rear or the car? I plan on putting a axle stand under each bit of the central box...
Not for me, for a friends car.
He had his wheels sprayed black with a rim which he would now like to remove... whats the best way to do this? Tried to get it off but cant for the life of me find the edge/end of the tape! And the stuffs stuck on its not budging at all!
Im thinking heat gun/petrol?
As above, I have a 182 surround with approximately 3cm missing from one side (a bit that has snapped off/melted)
Is there anyone that could/would repair this cheap if its even possible?
Disclaimer : Please bear in mind I have never changed an exhaust so sorry if this entire post is retarded.
Got a prospeed cat-back system off a member on here (thanks dave ;)) and attempting to fit it on sunday. My car is a 1.6 16v (K4M)
Now, i've got 2 clamps and none of them seem to fit...
Right... heres my problem. All the switches use to work and everythings plugged in correctly!
- Passenger side switch brings passenger window down but doesnt raise window again
- Drivers side switch for passenger window brings it up AND down (as normal)
- Drivers side switch for drivers window...
I know this might be the most stupid question ever posted on cs but...
- Is it legal to display both the front and rear licence plate? Im only asking because I've seen quite a few cars about without front plates (just rear) and was wondering if it is legal? (my plates currently off due to a...
This is how my car first looked when I bought it... I've done a few mods in the year i've owned it but the latest mod is by far my favorite :)
Clio-Rich was round mine early this morning and 8 hours of hard work later can be seen below!
The finished product
Mods done ...
Removed all my doorcards etc and trying to remove the exterior handles! I've undone the 2 nuts but how the hell do u take them off the metal rail? Tried to unclip it but am a bit stuck :(
Ive removed one from a ph2 before simply enough, but im trying to remove this mk2ph1 boot lock to respray it. Does anyone have any ideas? Theres a few torx screws but i just want to make sure there isnt anything else i need to know before i attempt it.
Cheers in advance,
Ahmed
Bought some of this to clean up some bits on my car but is it safe to wash the whole car with it? (diluted of course!)
My brother has kindly offered to wash my car ahead of some spraying work happening tomorrow and I want to know If I can use daisy to clean the entire car like a car shampoo...
I recently upgraded my front speakers to components and I cut away at the crappy plastic 'dish' the old woofers sat in to accomodate for my new speakers driver depth etc.. and mounted the new speakers in there place.
I want to increase the sound quality as i believe this mounting isnt ideal...
Tried searching.
Wheres the cheapest place to get clio mk2 non-sport (if that makes a difference) mounts? someone posted a site once but i cant seem to find it.
