Ah not much difference then

I DONT GET THE DIFFERENCE. :(

yours and the black one = immense. the black vees paintwork is like glass! :o

^^ will do

Exactly the reason iv bought one lol... shame it wont be the mini thats getting sorted out though!

yep, or everyone would be getting decent insurance quotes surely?

Yeh, if i run out of cars to practise on! look on ur Forsale thread aswell :approve:

lool il hold u to it ;)

Ah thanks for that... im guessing it would be EGP to add on it

woop i was right! Rich just a quickie... is it ok to use SRP with a machine polisher to just polish the car? not correct anything just protect it? id have thought it would be ok if i dont turn up the RPM too much

What does that allow you to do andy?

w**k pics = w**k photoshop so there you go dude. :) suppose its ok if ur only visualising.. id reccomend looking at blooors car mate

yes mate il do it now but it wont be very good/ look real. it will give you a rough idea though i guess!

cheers for that mate ^^ the one iv bought is a Meguires G220 and its an orbital polisher... so oscillates instead of spins. duno if this makes a difference! suppose it all just comes down to practice at the end of the day... i did read you have to be really carful on the edges of paintwork...

need a more side on pick than that mate, its proving a bit difficult for me

il do it now

Whats PITA? Will you find me the link to that daves guide riz if you wouldn't mind?

lol its no big deal anyway. maybe the previous owner split the grill and had the bumper respreyed because of stone chips or something

FLOL. well im abit sad and actually enjoy doing it :o... i regularly polish and waax the car by hand andalso clay it occasionally... this is just the next step forward i suppose and im determined to make abit of money doing it

i think that the original grills came with a warning sticker on them whilst replacment ones dont

dont bother pal theres no difference at all IMO

Thats the plan matey, going to practise quiet abit first and get abit of a portfolio... The point of this thread was really to see if there is any potential to make some money up this end as i wasn't aware of how many people would be bothered about having it done :) so SRP would cut the paint...

looks like front bumber has been resprayed and new grille (no plastic tabs in front bumber and the thing on the grill)

dont think so pal, id back everything up just in case... dont quote me though could be wrong but whenever i changed my XP OS i had to back everything up

i thought you could only use your NCB on one car? only few companies let you transfer them onto different cars at the same time AFAIK

yeh ben il be the same :) only way to learn is to f**k up though. as long as i dont f**k up bad its all good :) i think you can use SRP with the roterys if the swirls aren't that bad as it hardly cuts the paint... in fact i dont even think you would user SRP to remove swirls... maybe just to...

would you recomment buying a paint thickness gauge aswell rich? i see alot of these used just in case

well im hoping to not find that out the hard way! As said i shall practise before doing any one elses car... Amount of reading i have done into it aswell i am just going to be careful. Rich il probably be sending you some pms RE paint correction if you dont mind. Got a few cars to practise on...

mines on 63k FSH tax/mot and i reckon id get 2400 for it all day long
