Amber_Nunny Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 So today I finally got round to fitting my pop outs!Got the pro in Ewwwwww dirtyyyyyyy!Realised after removing my back windows that I was without tints so had to take my fronts off too!Hours of scrubbing... Kinda looks weird...Gave the whole car a good clean for GTI Inters tomorrow! (Beautiful Iphone quality photos.... )Hope to see many of you tomorrow! I will be in the bear hat, as usual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patroddy Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 im unsure as to whether i like it without tints the tints made the white stand out more, but without the tints it looks cleaner ... tough choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kristoffer Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 I have to agree with pat the tinted window's gave it that slight edge but it looks good with both and the plus side is you can now see out your back window the only thing i don't like about this car is that i don't own it good work amber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber_Nunny Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Thanks for all the lovely comments!I think the tints will go back in but maybe not quite as dark Just may be a while until they get redone as I have quite a few outgoings on the project car for the next few months.Was a bit disappointed with GTI International today :\ Hopefully I'll find some nice photos though!

Amber_Nunny Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) Okay so I've finally come to the realization that my wheels need stripping down and need some serious attention... When the car comes off the road to get the engine sorted I'm going to strip the wheels and try to salvage the dishes if possible!I'm really hoping that my black bolts stay black too...I'm a bit scared that taking them out will remove the paint off the heads!I really can't afford to have them stripped, painted and diamond cut so I'm just going to polish up the dishes and faces as best as I can and just hope that they come out okay.However, if anyone would like to donate to the wheel restoration fund then feel free Until mid September nothing much is going on but hopefully by the end of the year I'll have a smooth running engine again, and I'll be sure to flood this thread with many many photos throughout the strip and build!I'm most excited about getting my engine out and finally getting a chance to clean!!

JoeA Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Have the wheels been lacquered over the diamond cut Amber? if they are then they'll have to have that stripped before polishing. Oh and if you put cling film over the bolts before you put the socket on, they won't be scratched Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and if you put cling film over the bolts before you put the socket on, they won't be scratched Yeah they have but I was hoping I'd be able to do something without them being stripped :\Nice handy tip tar!Edit:Getting the dishes stripped and was hoping to do something with the barrells, might have to try sanding the lacquer... :\Unless anyone can recommend someone that does diamond cutting and cheap?

JoeA Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Not a lot that can be done then really other than a refurb, you can try standard paint polish (Megs UC etc) which may give the outer surface a better shine. But its often discolouration between the lacquer and the metal which makes them look bad. If i was you, id be saving up and speaking to the legend that is Mike the Polisher. http://www.the-polisher.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
