easy people. i was gonna be sensible n do no arch mods, just have nice 16s.. but.. after lookin on the site ive decided 17s have gotta go on.
Currently the cars as standard, alot of stuff has been ordered, alot of stuff is being enquired about :P *excited*.
all arches will be rolled n...
easy people. recess... only way i can think of is mix up some filler, use the spreader sideways and smooth it into the bottom part of your door by about 4-5 inches use a long-bed rubbin down block. if you try rubbin it down with a lil rubber block its gonna look like the alps when you look along...

easy people. If youve paid £150 for a pair of taillights painted youve just been shafted so hard dude :S... 2 lights = 3/10ths of basecoat 3/10ths of laquer = £20 for both easily.
If someone quoted me more than £50 for painting 2 lights ide stand and laugh... loudly.
I got lexus lights...
easy people. dents.. oh how i love thee. k these "suckers" are no good for small dents, i have one n its only good for pullin out big dents so i use less filler. If u dont want the bonnet painted call "dent devils" or dent masters. I work at carcraft west mids n we got dent masters there...
easy people. if your lookin at painting any part of your nice little clio in the near future i highly recommend you STAY AWAY from back to black and ANYTHING which contains silicon. it will f*ck up the prep n paint.

easy people. where its scuffed, personally ide jus put a tight skim of filler in there.. smooth it down with no less than a p240 (otherwise youll have nice deep scratches). then get some silver aerosol (closest you can get to the wheel... n gently blow it in til the fillers covered... finish...
easy people. if u dont wanna paint it again flat it lightly with p1500 or p2000 wetordry flatting paper. when your line starts to drag itself back slightly.. buff it up with some mopping compound.. i recommend G3, G6 or G10 (if u wanna rub a lil while longer).

easy people. k this is my own recommendation, not sayin its right or wrong.. people have their own ways of doin stuff.
welding plates behind those small holes is basically pointless.. the holes are that small youd just be making the job bigger than need be (welding, grinding etc etc). Get...
