Looks good as ever, Clean Beans look great.

I need to get back on Corsasport a bit, I haven't seen Kyle's cat in ages.

 

[Simon_16v]

My luck was going far too well , fell out of my short pockets and fell on the floor so I'll be redoing that one :facepalm:

 

[AlexW]

They look really good considering you've done them youself. Top job.. Bar dropping one.

 

[Simon_16v]

Thanks Alex, was really surprised on the difference it made with flatting it down and polishing back up again. Going to start rubbing it back down tomorrow and buy some paint for my spare dash strips too

Washer blanks fitted, going to restore the headlights this weekend if the weather can hold out for a couple of hours.

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

CC washer blanks look soo much better! Mine need re-doing though

I agree! Too much going on, on the front with the black ones.

Good job Simon! !

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

Get yours sprayed dan!

 

[-Danman-]

I'd need to find a new pair if I wanted to do that. Want to smooth them eventually though.

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

Ahh fair enough!

 

[hanby42]

If you can take headlights out to do them mate otherwise get crap everywhere! !

 

[Simon_16v]

I'll probably be taking them out, looks like it could be a bit more fiddly with them removed though?

 

[-Danman-]

Are you planning to use a rotary polisher or doing it by hand?

 

[Simon_16v]

I'm tempted to get a sanding pad for my rotary....but no doubt I'll mess it up so may do it by hand lol

 

[AlexW]

Looking good Simon.

Headlights are a pain if they are in, or a pain if they are out. Out its a pain holding them in the right place etc, but fitted you need to mask everything up well and then clean it all properly afterwards. I've done both.

Ive tried both and think by hand is much easier and less messy. I had bits of rubbing compound in the engine bay for weeks after using the rotary polisher!!

As Alex said. You'd have to mask around the headlight so you don't catch the paint but I imagine it'd still be easier than removing them.

 

[Simon_16v]

Well out of the 2, which would you say gave better results? My car needs a good wash anyway

 

[Simon_16v]

The front bumper isn't fitted properly yet, I just pushed it back together just incase I decided to remove the headlights

 

[-Danman-]

Both results came up good. I just preferred to do it by hand.

I'll send you some photos later if you want.

 

[Simon_16v]

Think I'll try with them on the car still. I've plenty of that blue 3m tape to protect the wing and bumpers

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

Don't remove them, do them on the car as you can apply more pressure without them moving all over the place. You will get better results with a rotary just cover the engine bay with a towel

 

[Simon_16v]

Well sometime this weekend there will either be photos of my nice looking lights or a wanted thread for some more xenons!

 

[AlexW]

If the bumpers hanging off, pop it off and mask well.

Worst case you can just give it a quick rinse to get rid of the worst.

Keep the bonnet shut IMO too

 

[Simon_16v]

Well I've near got the sanding done on one of the lights but it seems to be monsoon weather in Yorkshire today
