Indeed I do. Just be wary of where you're leaving the wheels for that week,without a decent level of temperature, even after a week the lacquer may not be truly hard.
IME yes. Only thing is, white primer does tend to be thinner, so a little harder to apply properly and you seem to get more runs. I've only ever used cheap cheap white primer, so it may not be the case with expensive primer.
Good work on the sanding with the RB, if you do the same again I'm...
Re your question, if you use grey primer you will (unless you apply a monumental amount of colour) end up with a slightly darker finish when the lacquer bonds with the colour.
As for what to buy, I think they do quite good sets on eBay? I've always used simonez stuff and had good results...
For that style you have three choices really, cup splitter, carbon spiller (as said KTEC or streamline), or a skoda fabia splitter. The fabia splitter is 1/10th of the price, bendy, but does require the ends snipping off (only with scissors) so that it'll fit.
Cracking work ginger, but your lack of pics is disappointing.
I realise you're busy working away, but taking a full set of pics of that one would have been a great portfolio piece.
Any time at all mate, I work standard hours, but any evenings, whenever.
Even if you don't buy the plugs before the BHW sale runs out, I normally get emailed 25% discount codes constantly.
If it's plugs, bung your reg into euros website and order some (there's a big bank holiday weekend sale at the moment). I'm local and I'd be willing to give you a second opinion if you're willing to drive down.
Pooooma. I love them. I couldn't get over the amount of presence yours had at CSS.
Considering you got this one "cheap" does that mean you can play with it a little? Like, fit a better dashboard? ;)
The zed as standard (exhaust wise) is quiet as a mouse, I plan to run a bypass pipe and "quad up". The quad would be removable and then I could refit a standard bumper and just have a slightly louder exhaust. Sorted.
I'm a quad fan TBH, they get away with it
Yes, but the guy who's offered has done two before. Non facelift rear bumpers are peanuts anyway due to lack of desirability etc so it's not a huge risk.
The guy who's offered has some serious skills though, and he's a proper nice bloke. He spent ages cutting his own to make it an exact...
I'm not actually convinced, I'm going to do it to my halogens, see how I feel about the results. Less cost risk and I can move them on if I don't like them.
I'd say a tenner posted. You can apply double sided tape and cut around before fixing so it's not impossible, but time consuming. For someone looking to do it on a budget it would be ideal.
They won't be OEM tips (as they're just chrome coated crap) they will be the same diameter as the //M tips and just stainless steel. I'll hunt out a picture.
Excuse the picture, but they'll be this style, all be it half a or quarter inch smaller..
LOL! You're all making me very unsure. So much so I've come up with a different idea.
I'm going to rip apart my current headlights and do this. They've already got condensation inside the lens BADLY from an issue I had an fixed (but you can't get into the lens and clean them) and are only...
All around. As per the facelift. The front end will eventually look like this:
If I decide I don't like them, I'll just go back to orange indicators and pocket £150 or so by doing a direct swap with someone with pre facelift xenon units.
I'll do clear side indicators and hopefully a facelift front bumper as I won't be able to afford/find an //M.
The whole car will look newer and still OEM. If I don't like them I'll easily be able to sell for a profit and change back to orange.
I'd love an //M bumper, but rare/expensive...
