Your motor looks great!!

Are you going to add wheel spacers? Think they would look spot on, especially with your suspension setup.

No dont use ipa after srp as it will remove fillers but you dont need to use it on the paint before no point

use it on the windows though

If I can source some cheap enough. £200 is more than I would like to spend.

Ok I thought it would help remove crap before polish. Oh well I get it for free from work. 70% sterile ipa. For pharmaceutical clean rooms.

The 3m trim restorer is awesome top finish.

They are so black i hate my trims but me and plasticare arent friends!

I don't understand I put in on with a washing up sponge, no bother. I have noticed some newer models with more of a gloss trim, is yours like that? Im pretty sure it wouldn't take properly to that.

Mines only an 07 but the trim doesnt seem porous no trim "cleaners" that turn all other plastics i work on black works on the lower trims! it is abit shinnier and it feels slicker to the touch if you get me its certainly not porous! Come down and investigate

bring the plasticare ill apply more wax to your car and make you a steak lol

Opinions? The fun is slightly higher than I would prefer and is obvious when the fog light is on. But how often its that

It's definitely different mate, but I think I kinda like it! And I'm enjoying watching the mods progress, keep it up mate!

What did you use to repaint the numbers on the skunk 2? Mine is starting to come off and would maybe like to change the colour. My previous 2 skunk2's were sent back as the red paint came off very quickly.

adsbeau · 23rd September 2012, 06:46

The yellow caliper paint that I got from Halfrauds. Just keep layering it on And let it dry then buff with a microfibre. Don't worry to much about it getting on other than the numbers as it buffs of easy.

Tarted up the engine bay with some decals and Samco silicon tape today and laminated the head lights.
Not sure about the head lights. Opinions?

I know what ya mean. The pics dont look great it looks better in the flesh but Im not sure if its just a little to much.

TBH I dont think yellow goes with silver.
Sorry..not my cup of tea personally

Nothing against earthing kits and tinting though.

No bother Relic, opinions are what I asked for.
Its not going to be everybody's cup of tea. But I like the silver, black yellow combination.
I could have done like everybody else and gone red and made it look like a type R got a R body kit. But that would be boring wouldnt it, and I hate it when people try to make them look like Rs when there not.

Its a 5 door diesel sport

I do think I am going to take the yellow tint of the headlights as Im not sure.
