I ordered a touch up pen earlier on, and ive just ordered the bilt hamber korrosel, to try on the tiny blemishes that are just starting, next thing is orderkng kurust, then i should have all angles covered.
went with bilt hamber afyer your recommendation and ive also just used there snow foam...
a few pics of how the car currrently stands, decided to remove the number plate holder and order a smaller plate for a cleaner look. also need to polish the headlights and get the rings back on.
got some gloss black door handle covers to go on, when weather comes to.
spacers are unopened...
just googled that stuff and read some reviews, going to order some, looks like its what i need, especially on the arches, some of the narks are worse than i thought.
apparently yoy can't polish a turd, but ive seen some good efforts [emoji23]
also going to order some of this, some of the marks...

After some advice please for my mk7 transit van, it’s got quite a few very small rust particles forming scattered down the sides of the van, it’s a white van, so these show up, they are not to bad at the minute, I’d like to stop these in there tracks if possible, so it doesn’t turn into another...
So the cheap shitty wheels are all buckled, repairable, but then there not cheap shitty wheels anymore, so I’m sacking them off, might use my turinis for the nankang AR1’s or buy some mg zr alloys for them, often used on mini’s for track wheels, seems a waste to use the turinis.
Also got some shitty spacers with the wheels today, you can see them in the last pic, may be useful to see if I can go bigger,then get bigger hubcentrics
They are hub centric mate, and from your favourite shop!

Went with 5mm as they might work ok with the turinis, if I need to go bigger, I’ll ebay them, going to have a play around with them and the wheels, got the wheels as they...
Possibly going to the ring April 2020 lol, plans are to get all me bits fitted, then it’s good and ready for when the feeling takes me, plan on keeping this car long term, so got plenty of time to track it
5mm spacers and longer wheel bolts ordered to clear the calipers, just getting 2 spacers for now, so I can swap them about and make sure there the right size, picking up the Stuttgart’s tomorrow.
picked the monza's up, dropped them off for a refurb as they looked a bit shagged!
my mate who does the refurbing is telling me they are going luminous yellow!
he's been dying to use this colour, so i thought why not, there only track wheels.

Yeah the monza’s where purely bought as there 10 minutes away from my house, and where on £47, so thought it rude not to stick a cheeky bid in with 1 second to go ?, very cheap cheap track wheels.
I do like the Stuttgart’s, hope they look decent in the flesh, 8” is a bit wide really but...
what the f**k is wrong with me???
just done a deal on the wheels below! there only 3 weeks old with one small kerb mark. oh well.
