IIRC it will go in - some say with a bit of work and I think I've read without. Have a search on here mate, this has been covered a few times and you should find the answers!

Re: someph-ing different........... no probs, you still got my number?

lol will be sorted ;)

but why do i keep getting drawn back to the orange?!

ooh that black does look good! yeah crispys is what i was originally after (twins lol) but not sure now i've seen the black!! they was silver before obviously, personally i didn't think it suited it.

Same colour as they are now.....just better lol.

But you've got two exhausts, I ain't :(

Can someone possibly do me a photoshop with the the same picture but with orange mirror covers, and also one with the wheels in black and the mirror covers in black also. Thanks!

that's ok mate no bother. ill prob just book them into laptab in the week to get sorted out. i've had two sets done there before so i know it's a good finish.

i suppose if i get them sandblasted i may as well just have them refurbed properly. maybe a more expensive option but bloody easier it looks like.

if i was to flatten it all down by hand myself. what grades of wet and dry should i get? start 60, then 80, 240, 600, 1500 wet and dry grades? something like that?

so you reckon sandblasting could be a better option then mucking around trying again. i suppose at least they'll take it back to the original stage without causing any harm to the wheel?

we on about wet and dry here?

should i use the wet and dry i used before or proper sandpaper to get rid of the paint that's on there now?

event though it's on fairly thick you reckon sanding down is the best option? any other strippers you can recommend that maybe won't cause a reaction when i come to repaint?

I've been having mixed reports, most good stuff about it and it will sort me right out. It's just because I've sprayed to many layers on too thick and I didn't remove all the marks correctly. I'd of thought they'd be salvageable?!

yeah halfords 100 odd piece socket/spanner set is decent enough and cheap enough to get you going again.

Re: Project 172:Unknown Direction looks real smart, nice idea :)

Re: someph-ing different........... saw your car the other night at Fred's...couldn't stop looking at it! Nice work mate!

mmm lovely!

I've had a go at refurbing my oz f1's but like a complete numpty, I didn't sand enough and I sprayed on the layers to thick to quickly. Now.. I don't fancy paying to have them refurbed as I also want my mirror covers done at the same time to match the wheels, but nowhere will do it for me...

No worries, hope you receive it all okay tomorrow!

Re: One Year on & £**** spent nice one! cheap fixes are great :)

i saw this on motors tv a while back - serious bit of kit!

what they said about discs ^^ as to leaving it in gear, i suppose so it doesn't roll whilst handbrake isn't on! maybe another reason though...

doh!

Overtake on the left - ie. so you pull over to the right to let people through. When you come in to the pits to cool down don't put the handbrake on when you've stopped. Put the car in gear and then turn off the engine. IIRC these were the instructions the guy at Bedford said last year. Don't...

LUK and Sachs are both OE manufacturer factory fitted brands and are both recognised in the aftermarket as a good brand the same as Valeo are. Transmech is a cheap reconned clutch make IIRC - not worth touching with a 1000ft barge pole in my opinion. Smart money is on the Valeo as it's the...

i really like them. i have a set of turinis for road use, and a set of oz f1's for track use this year :)

+1 it's a good idea.
