Very tidy example !! What is the actual correct colour for rims in a LCR ?? Did they ever sell them with grey rims....or just silver

Right more engine bay OCD whorage. Gave the mani a polish up and also sprayed the bracket black as it was looking rusty.

Ordered a few bits this week to do at the weekend if it doesn't snow!! still waiting on my TIP though :confused:

15mm spacers for the fronts so i can put it on my starfishes as it looks a sorry state on axel stands :( New battery and some hoses as well...

As it is now with brembos sanded and ready for painting eventually

I was blown away with the results the first time I used the kit. The more confidence you have to sand the metal to an unblemished finish, the better the results get. Glad you gave the kit a go buddy. You should be more than happy with the results :)

I was amazed as well mate, looks a lot better in real life than the photos. Iv still got to work on the mani as it still has a little bit of pitting on it but getting there, worth going over it with fine sandpaper??

I sanded down the metal until it was completely flat and unblemished before polishing it. If you have pitting, I would flat it with sandpaper before polishing it up again.
