About time i brought this thread up to date.
As above, ended up peeling the pastidip off as would have cost way more than i would have liked, instantly regretted it though as peeling it off took a good 3 days to do and still not done, it went everywhere! Bad news is that the plastidip took the lacquer off the side strips, side skirts, door handles and front bumper which had been poorly repsrayed, this gave me the opportunity to get that sorted however which i had been wanting to do for ages.
So a few weeks back, i was at a carboot that i attend every week and a guy was selling crates of good quality aerosol cans cheap after a store closed down. So picked up all the pearl black cans he had which ended up totalling about £10 (6 cans). I then took my time and sanded down and properly repsrayed everything except from the bumper. with lacquer and primer ended up about £25 all in and it turned out amazing for a rattle can job. All i need now is a new front bumper and done!
Also picked up a set of turnis in silver, refurb isnt great but im going to roll with them anyway (pun not intended) so 2 are off getting new tyres fitted and the other 2 should be fitted this week. Then i plan to sell the 182 alloys to regain some of my money.
lastly, due to the long distance to work, the exhaust had to go sadly, sounded awesome but wasnt practical, so that is sold pending payment and i then plan to buy a second hand standard one and the money i get from it is going to go on a new rear bumper without a cut out.
Thats about where it is at the moment, im trying to stop spending and start saving for a new car but its failing horrifically.
