Headlight correction.

[Alastair.]

Mrs clio dci has sufferd with the usual misting of the platic lense on the driver side, so it was time for correction as it was letting the car down.

1200 grit wet and dry all over, once i was happy that ive taken the nasty top layer off i pulled out the rotary along with some g3. After a couple of shot with g3 things were looking good. So onto the srp, again machined on a few times, then buffed all excess off with lambs wool buffing pad.

Mrs was very pleased, brownie points for me.

Also took her sunroof frame out today as it was leaking badly and had a real annoying creak whilst driving. Sealed the frame using MJ pro black, lethal stuff tbh. No more leaks and no more creaks.


heres the headlight at the start, f uked and horrible.

and after about 1 hours work and a good wash down i had this

Awesome. Its strange how one of my Cups have/had this problem, yet my sisters 182 does?

[Alastair.]

What a difference! Done this on my MR2 and used this Maguires Plastix stuff, it really does make a great difference to the front end of the car. Day off tomorrow, will be getting this sorted along with other bits then.
