I know the feeling not driving the car, didnt get to use mine for 9 months

Currently honking outside so no rad fitting yet, so abit of carbon work to get on with I think.

Its dead easy Tib, here have a watch

How to paint your wheels - YouTube

If you can paint a bumper you can paint rims

JTJUDGE · 18th April 2012, 11:16 PM

This is probably the route im going down. To get it done by professionals I was quoted £400!
I'm not sure how I'll do the stainless steel lips though as it's a 2 piece.

Jordan, shame your in Scotland, my friend is an alloy wheel refeb man.

If I was you id unbolt the face, should hold pressure as your not splitting the basket and paint the face yourself. As for the the lips, you can either do it yourself by using fine grit sand paper work your way through the different grits. Or take them to a metal shop and get them polished up, depending on the shop looking at maybe £20-25 a corner.

Your diffuser should be with you tomorrow mate, anyting between 9-5 tho. Will be with parcel force.

Tib, Mighty car mods is maaaaaadd, love there shows. Car is having a new top tint done this morning, then I hope to get it fitted in the afternoon, but ive got training exercise on so might not get time. Plus its been the weather is not that great.

Oh got a new steering wheel aswell, nice Nardi one

and quick release boss to go with it

but need to sort the hicas which im going to lose aswell.

But is it this one?

JTJUDGE · 19th April 2012, 06:23 PM

Have you been given the ok for the side skirts group buy? can't see why not as it's a one off.
You can buy a set of carbon fibre unversal mini mud flaps that will help the skirts flow up the arches. I've just ordered mine. Pretty cheap as well.

P.s they don't look like mud flaps, more like extensions to the skirts and over fenders.
I'll pop up a pic when they arrive against my terrible attempt at doing the side skirts mtself.

Mikeydinho · 19th April 2012, 07:06 PM

Yeah seen them but looking to make some that fit over the inner skirts and spats.

Good buy going up, ive not asked but if theres a big deal then it will get removed.
