north wales loop Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 always wanted to do the us side marker thing on mine, and smooth the side markers on the wings off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashh Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 always wanted to do the us side marker thing on mine, and smooth the side markers on the wings offI'm almost sure the indicators have to be behind the front wheels for MOT purposes !The wheels are genuine Centra's yeah! Rare as rocking horse poop it would seem! 15x7J ET12 so a bit of a squeeze on!Bumper is now awaiting paint, will be doing it myself with a proper gun etc a week today, so two weeks to give me a chance to lacquer and she should be on! Woop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaggi Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 lovely car this mate. Interested to see how this turns out with the side markers in the upper part of the bumper. Ive had my side markers in the lower part of the bumper for a while now but some times think they are too low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashh Posted April 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 WEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!Primer went down brilliant, Paint went down well however a little dry so the orange peel was a bit worse than i hoped. However i'm hoping when i compound and polish the bumper when its on the car that the lacquer will hide most of this! But here is where i am.Left: Polished (Smoothed the markings off) Right: Not polished!And my Show plates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Just posted on this on ED, what lights are you using for side markers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashh Posted April 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Replied dude Whatcha mean by lights?The units themselves are the MK4 units, For bulbs i've got standard orange 501's (depending on heat output, which i'll check with the thermographic camera), And if they are too Hot for the units i have SMD bulbs!
