Title: Laserline immobiliser + teardrop alloys
Post by: Napier on 18 September 2005, 20:21

Hey, i was wondering if anyone could help me with a few questions i have about my new mk2 8v.

Firstly i have a laserline immobiliser fitted but have no certificate and need one for my insurance, i have rung around a few places but no one deals with laserline anymore.

Second is the teardrop alloys which are showing there age. A guy i know seems to think they were powder coated, another just lacquer. Im hoping on the latter as correct me if im wrong but this could be removed with nitromores.

I have a laserline CAT1 alarm/immobiliser and I just went to a car performance type place that does alarms, alloys etc and asked them to give it a check over to make sure it worked as it should, it cost me £15 for the certificate and they didn't do much really but the insurance where happy with it.  :smiley:

Dont know the answer to your alloys question.

Yep if it's just laquer then nitromors will do the job, if it's powder coating then I think they will require an acid dip. Just try some nitromors on an inconspicuous area and you'll soon find out.
