Grundy Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Cool. Going to have to try this soon. Just the colour to decide now.

Grundy Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Another little preview... Trying to get as many snaps to help anyone out considering spraying, to see the different layers etc. I'm just hoping by tomorrow, my different colour idea works 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Also, how easy is it to remove the plastic base below the Battery/Brake Fluid lids go? The one with the rubber seal along it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very easy. Just held on by plastic pop rivets as far as I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, and double bonus, these have to come out for the new bonnet struts anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a look in the morning, are these the types that you use a flat head to pop up? I usually end up snapping these And I don't want to do that this time.

Yes a flat head screw driver should do the job but more than likely at least one will break. You can buy them on eBay easily enough though and dead cheap (I paid £3 odd for 10 including P&P last time I needed some). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Cheers guys! Going to colour code them Tony. Again another update - Right, so here's me trying to be artsy crafty and trying something different...In my head, this seemed very simple However, can anyone suggest a good way to stencil these (might not be the right term to use) The 3 and the 5 and really quite fine, and the masking tape/Stanley blade don't seem to be the best way off getting into those gaps to block off. Long story short - going 2 tone colour and need to get the V6 3.5 different to the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Try using a scalpel they are so much better for the job than a Stanley knife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grundy Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) Another little update - Door handles are off - Delving into the deep!!!! Bit of DIY A4 paper wrapped round the mechanism with masking tape. Edited January 30, 2014 by grundy225 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 You have been busy! How easy was it to remove the handles? I've got this job looming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Really easy to remove, Once unbolted, lift upwards and pull out. Now getting them back in looks a little trickier - You need to slot the metal rod from the 5th picture into the hole of the picture from the 4th picture.

GMballistic Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Make sure you get some good pictures if you can grundy225 of when you put the door handles back on. Would like to see how it goes back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that happens my guess would be you'd need to take the entire door card off to get the bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
