I know what you mean mate.Its like i find fitting bits a big turn off,but i can spend hours detailing.

Following on with my efforts last week,i gave the plenum the same treatment.It has not been touched since Wales in May. Before. After. Thats me done under there now,unless some one thinks of other shiny bits.

Very nice mate. Does need lowering though.

Looks really nice Paul,whats the cut out in the front arches for?

Bloody ell that's a blast from the past,car looks nothing like that now.

What about Virgin,they use fibre optic and are supposed to be the fastest. But it depends if they do it in your area,I can't get it.

Looks very James. Are you going to have a clear coat put on top of it?

Thanks Mike Did you manage to get your wax on? Thanks Scott Will look better once i get the battery/fluid surrounds.

As the weather wasn't playing ball today decided to give the engine bay a spruce up. Weapons of choice. Blackfire Fine Metal Polish. Meguiars G220 Polisher. Decided to give what i thought was a polished strut brace the once over.Got it into the garage under the light only to see swirl city. Test bit,can see the improvement where i ran some tape across to show. Third of the way across and you can see the difference. Job done,still not perfect but a big improvement. As i was in the mood decided to give the catch can a going over.Again once removed and into the garage the lights show the shocking finish of such an expensive bit of kit. Again not 100% but a lot better. Back on the car. Next job to attack the plenum.

Hi Scott, Put me down for the replacement battery/fluid surrounds in carbon.I would like him to leave the nut on the inner wing visible so i dont have to cut it out round my bonnet lifters.See pic. Let me know if you need a deposit. Wayne

What about the plastic trim around the battery/fluid holes,also when you say battery/fluid covers are they replacement or the stick on ones that are commonly available.

If you can get the lower centre console done,the bit with the handbrake in I would be interested.

Looks Mike. The wax is really easy to apply aswell.

Same as Bulletmagnet no probs with speed bumps we have 2 that i go over where I live and my car is lowered on coilovers. Would not go on Nissans ramp for mot though.

I tried doing it on my own and failed misserably. I would recommend 2 of you if your going to attempt it or take it to a garage.

Looking very nice Ian. How long before you polish the timing cover?

Think the ones on the right are for adjusting the brightness of the dials.

Try this blast from the past Brasso Duraglit.It's a polishing wadding,very good stuff too.

I have just bought the Megs G220 soft paint kit from Polishedbliss. Not tried it on the zed yet as I only had it corrected about a month ago,but have been practising on the mrs peugeot with quite good results.

I did Bronzee see first post.

Almost as much inuendo as a gear knob thread.

I think it's a very shrewd move by Fergie,a bit like when they brought Larsson in for a few months. Owens record for goals is very good and I think with the service United provide this should continue if not get better. Only question mark is his fitness,but if he is on performance related pay then in my opinion it's a win,win situation.

I usually get "you know it's going to rain"or"what's the 2 buckets for" My neighbour likes to keep his TT clean and when he sees me using something new asks me to get him some,wonder if he wants some of these.

Wonder how he got to 328bhp.Hhmm

Bought some of these the other week and decided to give them a try today.I bought them for applying dressings to the wing mirror brackets and also the window seals.Turned out they do a very good job with very little mess. I must admit that they are larger than i thought.From the web site pic i was expecting to get 1 maybe 2 fingers in at most but all 4 will fit.
