very impressive mate think im going to get into the detailing when the summer comes round. too cold at the momment tho. i only gave my car a quick wash today and it started snowing half way through so i thought id just quickly finish and that be it. my hands ended up like blocks of ice by the...
shame you are so far away mate i could probly get that done for alot less than that. ask around though. you sould get it cheaper. also ask how much for a cash job as they may not charge you for the vat on top
funny you should say that mate. i did make two as i though there may be some one on here who may want one lol so im going to stick it in the for sale section (as i dont want to get in trouble lol)
have a look on the inside of your drivers door apiture for a colour code. if there is a code anywhere that says nv676 then it is black pearl. as for the colour coding, is it plastic parts you are doing? if so then you will need to plastic primmer them before you use a normal primer or they...
do you recon he could do them inthe same sort of blue as the samco hoses as i got one on the way but the rest of my engine is black and polished (or will be) so i want it blue if i can to try to bring the pipe in to the theme a little.
just finished putting the guide up so i thought id stick the progress pics up for you too see.
what do you think?
i know it has no practicallity but it just makes it look thaty bit nicer and tidier
not sure what the clicking is mate but as for the exhust get under the car and check the heat shield hasnt come loose. this hapend to mine and was making a right racket but when i secured it back up it was fine. but like you say it`s probly going to fall off soon anyway. lol
ive only just had my bonnet sprayed (again) from where some cu*t keyed it so i feel your pain as id just done my bonnet and bumpers to get rid of dents and stone chips. i hadnt even washed the car before it was done. pricks aint they. i cant see the logic in it as the little tw*ts arnt event...

it depends how bad the damage is. if it is light scuffs then they may just sand out without going through to the metal but if you do i dont think the primer is expensive and it probly comes in a can but if you do get some i would go to a proper car paint dealers as it not something that halfords...
they slide off. the one on the quater slide towards the door and the one on the door slides towards the qauter but they can be a bit of a pain. what id do is get a roll of 2" masking tape and put it on the cars body work at the edge of the molding then hit it in the direction it needs to go and...
once fitted do you tighten them inwards to create a negative camber type thing or do you tighten them outwards to sqaure up the struts as both kind of make sence. oh and i know about all the " they dont work, they are a waste of time and money, blah blah blah" but my missis has got me one for...
if they are already painted then you should be ok to paint them normally. just try not to brake through the paint to the metal as you will have to use a special primer. but if you just scotch them up with some grey scotch (providing there is no damage to them) you should be fine.
