    MOT centre we use has had to abort the emissions test on a couple of cars they've had from a classic car sales place because the engine was trying to set fire to the testers arm. Countache and a Lola if memory serves. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  2. I'll tell you now that's not an easy part to dip. Looks a good job to me. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

    Air Intake

    If for argument sake this gave 5bhp gain, i very much doubt you'd feel any difference Same as the heat soak from a CAI.......noise makes up for the small loss of ponies. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

  5. 2000 wet and dry. Rotary polisher G3 Something to protect from UV. Job done Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  6. I think Rich at HDEV has a less convinced opinion about these treatments (if memory serves). Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  7. Just check the arse end for crash damage. It's hard to tell from photos but I think the offside tailpipe is further in that nearside. Again can't 100% tell but tyres might be running stretched (which some people aren't a fan of) Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  8. You can definitely get flip. This is the car owner of a local company I do some work for. Flip raspberry Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  9. Stunning. Really is. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  10. I can't see what the problem is. Cheap car Naff advert Missing a couple of crap extras (CC and radio controls) Nice wheels Low mileage I'd say it's at least worth a look. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  11. Not an Owls fan but I do have a fond memory of my first ever Everton game at home to Wednesday. Barry 'I score dipping piledrivers' Horne score an equaliser for us on his debut from his usual 30 yards. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  12. I know we're getting 3 'experienced' opinions here (least I think we all are!) but I think there's an element of us all 'potentially' being correct. 3 main issues are - Prep. What's been done? Basically we don't know so it's safer to assume the whole car hasn't been prepped properly. That said it could just be the edges which wouldn't necessitate taking it right back - Product. We don't know what paint has been used. We've probably all seen some horrendous reactions cause by layering good quality on top of bad. - Current finish. If it's crazy paving/microblistered and friends then whizzing the lot off would be required. If you're mate has given you an opinion and it's one you can trust then it's probs fubar. If you buy a DA make sure you get a decent one like Makita or something. I bought a Titan one from screw fix and I do think it's anywhere near as effective (well certainly not for refinishing fresh paint) Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  13. If you mean a semi permanent coating you need to add at least another 100 onto Hodakas price as well. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  14. Ahhhh sorry the surrounds not the covers. The number is 07739 755 078 (mods my numbers all over the tintersphere so no probs with it being public). One thing I would say is if you've already got carbon covers you will have a different type of carbon on the surrounds so it could look a little odd. Give me a tinkle and we can talk it through Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  15. Paypal are doing a 0% for 4 months if memory serves. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  16. Before anyone suggests us were based in Sandycroft which is a right old jag from holyhead. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  17. Smoothed looks like this Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  18. Yes can do all them mate. Do you want the covers smoothing out or leaving dimpled? Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  19. Can your buddy give you some advice? Only because he'll be able to see the car. Mate if you have the patience to sand back an entire car I'll take my hat right off to you. Veilside is potentially correct though. Usually the bits that end up peeling are the harder bits to scotch so the center of the panel could be OK. Problem is if ready for use lacquer has been used (i.e not 2k) then it'll potentially react with the new paint so full strip might be best. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  20. .......like an angle grinder! Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  21. I guess you're wider problem is (and I'm guessing why you're asking the question)......if it's peeling off in some areas what about the rest. It's a tough one buddy. Also depends what kind of paints were used in the previous respray. Theoretically you could be into taking the lot back but that's MAJOR amounts of work Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  22. Guys I am going to be honest with you. You can get REAL CF engine covers for £99 off ebay. If anyone still wants it doing that's fair enough but I'd rather be honest. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  23. You get an invoice once you've received your item back and you pay then. Slight risk on our part but we work on trust and obviously as it's a remote job we want you to see the work and confirm you're happy before paying. Let me ask around if I can get hold of a donor cover to start us off. Then you can send yours up. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  24. I genuinely don't mean this with any offence (not being the big I am or anything) but you tend to find that pros don't like it and Joe public does. It's just not a lot of use for at thing really. It doesn't correct the paint and the fillers are a bit moot when you're using decent glazes like Poorboys. Me and my old man used to use it when I was about 17 but that was back in the day when it was a bit more aggressive. Car always looked like it had been cleaned with chain mail after we'd finished and the sun hit it! Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  25. Aces. I've just got one and whilst you can get most of the sports cars I work on up its a little tight getting the pads under. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
