Wasso Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 You would need to take the engine out to get the front timing cover off, but as said polished in the bay is the only other way. What makes it a ballache is the fact you've got to lean over the bumper which can cause quite a few aches and pains. Anything that can be removed you get a far better finish, example below. But in place I'll use a mix of dremmel and drill with varying mops and compounds. So from Atkins efforts I'd say pretty good, its just so time consuming, messy, and full of aches and pains.

Wasso Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I also did Darren's pipes I mean intake pipes. (Where his hands are in the bay) All parts that are removable are done by a bench polisher with 3 varying levels of cut and associated compounds.

4RE Leather Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Looking good! How about the Berk intake with the black couplers? How about the roof vinyl wrapped in gloss black? Shouldn't you be racing today? I thought I saw you driving Felipe Massa's car earlier? Anyone else think they look alike or could be one and the same?

Gudzy Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Looking good, the skirts look better now they've got the lip to compliment. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh to see the colour properly. This carbon fibre intake tube could work with the black arc: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/64231-350z-carbon-fibre-intake-tube-kit-in-stock/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
