Re: Mr_Dave's Ovni Yellow LCR - Video @ P27

sounding as nice as ever bud;)

How many mile's did you get out of your discs mate? And how did you know when they're ****ed? I've only ever had to replace warped discs before. One last thing, thought you couldn't change discs without changing the pad?
 
Re: Mr_Dave's Ovni Yellow LCR - Video @ P27

Nothing to stop you doing just discs matey :) the grooves/dimples will soon smooth 'em down to be level anyway hahaha

I think they would have actually passed MOT just, but the wear markers are on the back of it - If I'm right, when the back surface of the disc is flat, it's time for replacement!

Car is on 39k now, and from what I can see they'd never been changed before :)
 
Kind of a shame it needs a respray;

When have you found the time to do that mate?? Weathers been awfull. Looks realy good mate:yes:

Did it last weekend dude, weather was epic for it! (Although it did rain as close as Northwich)

Want to try and find time for another layer now, so nice to have beading back :)


-J-cupra, you know it ;)
 
Well, it's happened.

Was booked in for front ARB and bushes -- that's now cancelled, and I'll be weighing up a full respray instead -- something I'd just got out of my head :(

There's a couple more places round the car that are starting to suffer -- though none as badly as this.

Brakes had been lathed yesterday also -- now no run-out on the discs, BUT brake filings have rusted all over the paint atm, and are not easy to get off. What I can is off, but respray is going to be the way forward.

Ya I think it could be. Not sure if there's any issue with these rusty bits of crap that I can't seem to move from the surface too easily (dunno if it could encourage rust on the body or whatever) -- will try and polish off again but who knows. Can move them with your fingernail but it's difficult. It feels horrible atm and it's pretty depressing.
Gonna have to take it and get a quote done!
 
I had this on the bonnet of the ibiza I bought , doing a full respray right now.

by your pics im guessing its your roof ? why dont you just get black vinyal roof ?
 
Yeah it's on the roof.

Have contemplated it but I dunno, makes the car look really old with a black roof imo, saw one on Pistonheads with a carbon fibre wrap and it wasn't my thing I don't think.

Sucks doesn't it :(
I dunno, maybe boot, roof and bonnet, but not a massive fan of just the roof/spoiler done. There's some fade on the rear quarters so shall probably just bite the bullet.. Shall see, be March before a respray could be done though, at least

Ya -- I saw it done on a new TT and it looked the dog's danglies -- although a slightly different class of car haha, probably suits that much more :whistle:

Sounds pretty reasonable to me that. Where did you get that price?

Hope your well buddy!

Was from Pog @ Bodycraft - It does include the labour which is pretty cool, can't be arsed with sanding down myself - Just adds time to it being done that I don't have..
 
A full respray will be worth it , I myself have taken it on with help of a friend whos good at spraying. So far its turned out good. the Prepping was a ball ache but its all going to be worth it when its finished soon:)
