you can use the uploader (do a search for it as i forget the link) then you can use that to upload from your pc to the site and it will give you a link to the picture that you have just uploaded so you can use the tree icon, simple as that

 

[N.D.Hill]

Thanks Paddy.

Uploader,search, link, link, upload,icon, The cars maybe French but I cant understand all these foreign languages. I am trying to get to grips though even getting around to answering e-mails most of the time now, dont let that put anyone off I am getting better.

 

[paddymph]

Did you polish the inlet yourself?!

Looks mint!!!

 

[Rich-D]

I could be tempted to get a blue silicone hose to replace the black one, like in the Hill Power Pics.

That kit looks great Nick, any clue on price?!

Also thinking of getting the red bits on my Viper painted in Cup blue to match as red doesnt really go...

Paul used an air polisher to do it, its an easy DIY job and ive seen it in the flesh, it looks amazing.

I polished the cam covers on my 106 GTi myself and that looked great, so I think I may have a go with the Clio...

I also bought my viper second hand at donny last year for £100, I took it to work and got it painted iceberg silver looks the biz, and yes i did polish the inlet myself it took about 3 hours from start to finish using different grade sand papers on a air buffer, then finished it off with autosol. Only have to polish it once every three month.

So we both got a bargain...

The red on the Viper would suit a silver car, but looks a bit odd against Cup blue and as soon as I fitted it I was like "hmmm... that needs changing" so I think it will be getting done soon.

Might have a pop at polishing the inlet one day too.

Was easier to do on the 106 cam covers, but its the same principal.

If I do it, Ill give you a shout and you can buzz over.

Good man!
