Don't go by what I say mate :laugh: I dont have a clue! I am yet to test whether they are still ok underneath! But makes me feel a bit happier that someone else reccomended it too :smiley:

Lol, its all good. "Wayne" said its fine. That's like "rubjonny" saying it fine :D

Herd a few others say it too so its all good :)

Been looking on google and some people do random things like wrap them in cling film or tights with cable ties :huh: Wouldnt have thought tights would stop much grit, and cling film would surely break away/disintegrate! God knows, will assess the situation when I get there :tongue:

Waiting for the wheels, mirrors, cam cover, inlet manifold and throttle body (which has now been welded) to be sprayed.....

Waiting for boost pipes to be tidied, welded and powder coated.....

Waiting for my coilies and top mounts to arrive.....

Waiting for my new hosing and piping to arrive.....


Need to source drivers door window switch and regulator, tailgate lifters, catch can and a few others bits. Glue for headliner, steering wheel boss and adaptor.

Mates coming up later to measure up a sump guard :cool:

Don't bother with copperslip / grease, waxoil ftw.

That made me happy :smiley:

Am I right in thinking just spray on some engine de-greaser and then hose off to remove it? Then bit of WD40 and they should be good to go? Then just re-protect afterwards?

Yep, waxoil is all I have ever used.
