davey_83 Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 (edited) Few bits to catch up on, 18' RAYS wheel refurb, Spring clean including arches, suspension raised 15mm all round and annual service. Previously painted before my ownership most likely to help with the sale, showing lacquer peel, corrosion coming through and a couple of paint runs. Nothing terrible but every time you'd wash the car however 240, 320 600 prep work - 2hrs each wheel Masked off and tac ragged over X3 coats of primer later 1st dust coat of silver My makeshift spray booth x3 coats of primer, base & 2k lacquer later with 24hrs between each stage Searched a decent amount of time for the right silver as most silvers are metallic, which I didn't want and think looks crap on wheels if you want an OE look. Products used x2 cans each, wheel barrels not done. 3 years in and the coilover still look fantastic under the socks, slacken the lower lock ring with the c spanner and it'll spin up the body by hand. Arches cleaned and dressed, 20mm wheel spacers refitted The raised ride height, damping and 45 profile tyres were a dream on the run out to Anglesey a couple week ago.

davey_83 Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 (edited) Anglesey with the club was a blast, personally my favourite drive out and conditions were great considering it was the end of March. Used the wipers for about 4 minutes on the way back across the boarder so can't grumble at that. Fuelled up ready for the day Home for a wash, decon and wax ready for Japfest Silverstone the following weekend Annual oil and filter change. Ally underlay with service hatch, but still take it off to have a nose round and wipe down underneath Edited April 10 by davey_83 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey_83 Posted 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago (edited) Having not long refurb'd my 18' RAYS and with them fitted for the Anglesey trip, they naturally got proper grimy. Following the successful install to my Varrstoëns, I had the bright idea to again PPF the lips. Never seen anyone do it before. Measured, cut and installed - barely even tell it was there unless really looking for it. By far the best protection for the part of the wheels that gets most brake dust abuse. PPF used Suntek Ultra Edited 1 hour ago by davey_83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
