Arosa_03 Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 awkward place to have a knock that - unluckylooks like the scratches on the bumper should polish out with a bit of someting slighty abrasive, maybe some Poorboys SSR 2.5 or similar?

nfbr Posted February 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 awkward place to have a knock that - unluckylooks like the scratches on the bumper should polish out with a bit of someting slighty abrasive, maybe some Poorboys SSR 2.5 or similar?The scratches are invisibile to anyone who'se not looking for them, They are very very dificult to point out when the car is fully polished up. The dent is the main problem, but my dad and myself reckon it should be pretty easy to pop out for a paintless dent remover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted February 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 (edited) Made some speaker gaskets from rocker cover gasketing cork to help sort out the leaks coming from the door... seems to have done the job, as the door seals are now bone dry every time i come to the car, whereas before they were always p-d wet through. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />Just got the new door membranes to fit now, which i'll be doing in the summer. This will ensure no water gets into the car come next winter style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Also whilst doing that i'm gona have a go at doing a small amount of sound deadening on the actual door skin itself, rather than just the door cards style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Edited February 22, 2007 by nfbr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
