 :grin: Needs to be done before then! Rear tyres are low and need replacing, want to stick them straight on the solitudes! They'd be fine if it wasn't for the polished lip, that's the bit that takes forever to sand down/polish up :angry:

That sounds like an excuse to me, that's y I would polish lips and then mask and spray. Easier in my eyes.

Pretty carrrrr :drool:

Polishing lips is effort, done 2 sets of wheels now. Takes me about a day to do all 4 wheels :cool:

looks great there, just wonder what indicators/blanks/fogs they are? or if you have spray tinted them?
and same with the headlights, is that film or spray tint?

Cheers Joe, I guess its changed a little since you last saw it?

The fogs & blanks are covered in dark lamin-x & the indicators are genuine anni ones. The headlights are joey modded with a light tint film from lazylunatic :wink:

Also forgot to mention that I redid the abs sensor repair with heatshrink connectors & tubing (big thanks to adi for them!)

Also thoroughly greased my coilovers again, I managed to beach my subframe on the garage floor when reversing into it, pics to follow  :rolleyes:
