My small mods.....

[Tyssen]

Took Fri off work and spent loads of time doing my badges and colour coding the bumper strips. Im really pleased with them and cant beleive I did them myself - makes the car look so much better.

Have other plans too - want to get wheels done white - lowered - also do something with the bumpers cos hate the plastic.

The bumpstrips are duller than the car itsself but not bad for doing it your self you gota learn somehow

Try using some AG Resin Polish to buff it up a bit.

Good work tho.

Its probably cos I spent 3 hours cleaning car on sat (minus bumper strips) so they obviously havnt been polished etc - will do them next time I clean car.

Thye do look it lol get some G3 on them and electric polish them that would make them look better

Im going to try some SRP so Hazza suggested anyway - I spent 3 hours cleaning the car on Sat polishing etc so maybe they look dull because of the car looking so shiny

 

[Final Maxim]

maybe

ive never used srp myself so cant comment.

if you really dont wanna add more lauqer id give them a slight wetflat with the finest wetordry paper you got thats lower than p1500 (p2000,p2500,p3000) and buff them up with g3

thatll give them a better shine

 

[AlexG]

srp wont really do much to them i dont think
use g3 then srp to finish it off. and maybe wetflat it first?
