Nice looking car and looks mean with it decked that much.

Do you like the LCR oem alloys or are you thinking of getting some new ones?

OK so i spent 12 hours on the car today to get it ready for the event tomorrow down at AMD

First off a good clean after the body shop gave the car back to be in such a state with burn laqure everywhere. I clayed the whole care which took about 45 mins a panel wish all the scrubbing required. Then on went 2 coats of Gold Class Polish then one coat of Wax.

Spray Charger pipe
Spray Throttle Body
ReSpray Engine Cover
Fill and Respray Lower engine cover

Then it was the brackets, first use an abrasive wheel to strip off the paint.

Then sanding

I think in this one the left is praticlty done and the other one needed the last 2 stages...

Here is it on

 

[Skorchio]

i think i need to get a life.. that another 10 hours spend on car today..

haha..

Next weekend inlet manifold!!!

 

[CHRIS200]

How and what do you use to polish up the metal and charge pipe etc??

 

[Skorchio]

i used

200 grade
400 grade
1000 grade
1500 grade

for sanding, it takes FOOOOKinf ages to sand it properly. Also you need to remember if you dont do each stage properly you will have to to back. For instance if you finish and your not happy with the result and you have deep marks, you maybe have to go back to 200 grade and start all over again!!

After all the sanding is done i used this clicky i bought mine about 7 months ago cost me £25

 

[UncleFester]
