I'll bare this in mind

So long as you use a fine grade it will be fine, it's not advisable on manifolds though as they are a lot softer

Grade #00 is what you want mate

Big black LCR cleaning day pics

Right, it's been a busy old year so far and I haven't kept the old girl up to the standards I set myself

So got up today at 9am and set about de-badging the car as the badges were skanky and I didn't fancy working around them with clay etc... I was going to replace most of them but the de-badged look has grown on me

After debadging I set about claying and doing the Meguires 3step. I am going to try some different products soon but I'm just using up what I've got in the cleaning cupboard.
I eventually finished at 7.30 tonight with a right arm like Popeye

Went out for a quick drive to take some pics before the sun went down.

This is what stance I will hopefully have by the end of the year...

And I love this pic

It's the OEM look I'm trying to get away from Andy, I know what you mean though mate, Thanks. I just pulled on the side of the road to take the pics as the sun was going down. It's in Middlewich, just before that long straight country lane oposite the Shell garage

Great job mate car looks ace!

Cheers bud, it all makes it worth it

Cheers John, I'm glad my efforts are visable as it was seriously de-moralising at times. It's knowing it's worth it when your done that get's you through isn't it

Think it will definately stay de-badged now

 

[brightsideteeem]

[shaun.]

Thanks for the comments chaps

Stumbled across this RR thread after seeing the pic of the rear in one of the others... I have to say that the car looks really stunning mate. I also have a black LCR, and know how tough it is to get it to look good. Dunno, maybe when its your own, you notice more with it! Paintwork looks in great nick mate - and loving the moving shots - need to nab someone to try and take some of mine one day - to remember her in motion

Keep up the good work chap

good results, im liking the de-badged look. cant wait for my alloys to be mint like yours. you shouldnt be having mcdonalds there not good for you and could have told the missus to get out for the pictures

 

[Murdered LCR]

Thinking mine will get de badged next I only have the Rs on at the min but they start to corrode in about a week lol , cars looking clean mate

Thanks mate but trust me, my alloys are far from mint

Didn't even realise you could see the Maccy's As for the miss's she was trying to ruin every pic to wind me up

Thanks for the comments aswell Jonathan and Dan. I honestly never intended to keep the badges off but the look grew on me straight away, and everyone who's seen it since has said how much better it looks. Even my mate's that aren't into cars

arent they? they alot look better than mine at the minute, finally booked mine in for a refurb on the 7 july, only took my a year to finally get them sorted she was just jealous you was taking photos of the car and not her

 

[cap r 225]

Probably mate, like all weomen she hate's the amount of time I give the car.

Could do with a refurb in the not too distant future, but I'd love some Compomotive MO6's one day. I think I'd rather put the £250 towards them.

 

[FRik]

Looking good mate. Great job on the de-badge. Definetely a nice look!
Thats me just inside now after doing mine as well! Still going to need some attention tomorrow though!

 

[cap r 225]

Yeah, it's deffinately more than a days work if your doing a full job.

I've got all the door shuts and engine bay to clean at the weekend... oh and it needs hoovering out again my poor aching hands!
