  1. Thought I would share as my headlights have seen better days and wanted to get rid of all the stonechips and scratches etc

    1st off not the best pics i know, but gives you an idea

    I used halfrauds grit paper 400 800 1200

    You will also need a polishing ball, I used a mothers

    If you want a better finish go more grit or don't rush (I did and will end up doing again in 6months)

    Front light seen better days:

    Used the grit paper 400 then removed scratches with 800 then again with 1200 here was after 800:

    I know its the otherside but only took a few pics!!

    Once you smooth with 1200 use a polishing paste, I used auto glym on the mothers powerball and was left with:

    All in all went quite well, doesn't take too long but the more you put in the better it will be

    I hope the pics are in the right order!!if not I'm sure you can figure it out

  2. Had my back box delete yesterday!

    Doesnt sound mch different but getting a straight through in sections because i have no money haha!

    Ill get a video up later!

    For rich:

    I'd love to see a vid of your backbox delete

    On a serious note I've just ordered a custom straight through with de-cat exhaust,beware its quite....noisy.

  3. Was there still interior lights in them with no movement?

    I only say as I jumped in mine a couple of weeks back, speedo went a bit doolally, went off and didn't come back on.

    About a week later it came back on all working fine but my engine managment light came on, filaments were touching in a brake bulb causing elec fault where they had got hot, one had melted over and was bridging against the other.

    Changed bulb all sorted

    Might not be but worth a try?

  4. What's the £600 for? If that's the price for a respray I'd bite there hand off! If that's the price for just the spray, with you prepping and stripping I'd go for that also.

    Rattle cans can be done...but its a lot of hard work and takes a bit of confidence, how much would it cost to rattle anyway?

    Either way get some pics up and let us see after

    Good luck
