cheers mate .
just keep flatting them with 1500 wet and dry with a rubber flatting block and plenty of water untill the film has all gone. then do it again with the 2000 wet and dry to get rid of the scratches left from the 1500. then machine polish them with a cutting compound like g3 and they should come up nice.
not a hard job really just be carefull with the machine polisher.

Ah thanks mate, don't reckon I could get access to a machine polisher - just out of interest, if you were doing the work for someone how much do you reckon you'd charge for doing a set of them? When my funds improve (having just had the dephaser fixed ) it's one of the first things on my list to sort!

already got my new one :evil:. also bidding on some forged rods, gonna get some forged wossener pistons for it and bang. 400bhp here i come =D

 

[theduck]

Very nice! My new one is a long way off big power has other characteristics to make up for it though

 

[kevin.s]

i like the sound of that. sadly the clio will be going soon

 

[theduck]

You know your gonna miss it right? Power is fun, but your new one is missing something....

 

[kevin.s]

you know what, ive been driveing the cupra round for the last week and so farim loving it and it has accually exceeded my expectaions. i heard the handle like a shopping trolly yet suprisingly, this one accually handles really well because its on coilovers. the power is ALOT more than the clio too lol so thats good fun. the only thing i have to moan about really is i have to switch on my own lights and wipers haha

 

[theduck]

Haha. Fair play mate. Glad your liking it. Forgot this one was on coils already tbh.

 

[kevin.s]

yeah, ill be back in the clio as from tomorrow as i only had the cupra insured for a week so i could pick up on any bits that need doing. as it happens there are a few little bits and bobs but ill do them now that it will be coming off the road.

 

[theduck]

You'll have to pop round mate and see what I've got myself in for, either in the Clio or the Ibiza when it's back on the road.

 

[kevin.s]

yeah deffo mate. be nice to catch up

 

[theduck]

Well I pick it up Friday mate so anytime next weekend onwards is good

 

[kevin.s]

sound, ill have to drag reyes along with me too. hes just got himself a nice little mk4 golf.
