Then we put it back inside to cover it up Dat bulge! And my favourite before after. Danke.

Essence filled in the deeper scratches somewhat too Dat gloss After I finished, we gave the car a couple of coats of gyeon cure *not carpro reload, my bad Bonus paint thickness shot Then rolled out for some overcast afters

I moved down to a polishing pad and polishing polish to polish the resprayed wing. polish. The boot was pretty heavily scratched and marred The lighter marring and scratches were removed But a couple of the deeper ones stuck around After the polishing was done I moved onto carpro...

Many before and afters 50/50 between bonnet and wing

I struggled to catch the scratches outside But inside the unit they showed up quite well. I messed around with a few combinations; auto finesse cutting pads and polish didn't really cut enough or finish nice enough I moved to hex logic blue cutting pads with various polishes before...

I was asked by a friend to give his M3 a going over to try and remove some swirls and scratches from the bodywork. The previous owner looks to have been quite aggressive with the cleaning. It's generally well maintained, regularly washed and usually sat in the garage, so it looks OK from afar...

Theevilgiraffe definitely knows his stuff. Get in touch with him whenever you've got any detailing questions. He's helped me out a few times

Clean it with an interior cleaner, the dash top shouldn't be shiny, that'll be a lovely sheen of dirt

Oooh! Are they magnesium? That should look excellent with springs, wheels and new bumpers. P.s. I still giggle when I see the thread title

Get the exhaust really hot and take it to the limiter before changing up. And remove the centre silencer/change the exhaust. Or put a silly map on it

I wonder how many non car people see that picture and think your front bumper has been graffitti'd It looks brilliant though! I bet you're over the moon

Yeah, it was really quiet too! I wish I had my own car on track that day. If you can I'd definitely recommend coming. It's a brilliant weekend. There's a few people from this area going as well so you could convoy up. Blyton is a decent little track as well :D

I did an e92 m3 over the past couple of days. The previous owner seemed a bit harsh with washing it so it was full of deep scratches and the paint was quite dull I got most of the surface scratches out but couldn't do much with the really deep ones in a day. Hex logic cutting pads with...

Hi! Glad to see you on here, it looked very well at anglesey. Me and Martin were the ones talking to you about the vibration on the Megane and borrowed your jack. Will you be bringing it to cliosport festival at Blyton Park? www.cliosportfestival.net

Mine makes a sort of Whiney noise at high revs, but I assume you're not screaming past these houses? Is they tappy noise coming from the gearbox?

Ah fair point. I'll keep you posted on whether I can make it

If you get a self tapper with a torx head, I don't think it matters the head size. I think it is just self tappers holding them on isn't it? Would these do? https://www.carbuildersolutions.com/uk/nuts-bolts-and-fixings-self-tapping-screws

Have you bought wheels or a clio yet?

Very close to the mrs' birthday so I'm a maybe. If I come I'll sort out a more local meeting point for the chester lot before heading to Bala Why are you meeting at Bala first rather than the ponderosa before heading further into wales to the triangle/Bala then betws-y-coed?

Seems like a lot of work for not a lot of gains to me. I could be proven wrong though

That last pic shows off arctic blue brilliantly! That Monaco is nice too, just needs standard rear lights imo

Got some pictures in the sun. What a pita it is to picture the test panel at the same angle as the car! But yeah, one coat of pearl is the best match (one coat is the lightest one) One coat at the top, against the bottom of the window Four coats at the top, against the bottom of the window.

BMW space grey is nice. It matches the anthracite decals on the r27s. Have a look at the last page or so in here, I did my track wheels that colour

Lol! It's not actually proper liquid yellow as I sprayed the pearl coat over what looks like a focus st orange base. It does look cool though I got the paint from a supplier near my work. Buckley coatings Anywho, the colour match looks good. It looks better in the sun, I'll try and catch...

How much of a pita was it to change the belts over? They look quite good!

First name down for a group buy lol? The worst part about painting is leaving it to cure. I want to fiddle with it and check the match but I'm trying to be patient haha.

Lol 500% mark up on a Stanley knife

Got the lacquer on today :) Once that's dried I'll offer it up and see what the match is like

lol I sang that!

What's the deal with these? Seem too good to be true for the price. All singing all dancing DVD, Bluetooth, apps blah blah for less than £200 The button colours can be changed to suit the car lights too. Pay £170 and receive a cardboard cut out with wires taped to the back?
