Another wee trip to the subaru dealer to order some exterior and interior clips , pick them up tomorrow always the little things that are annoying getting some interior bits carbon dipped by a friend next month .

Posted your box of goodies today :nod:
Included a indicator bulbholder/plug, its the same plug as the fog light, so you can just chop the end off. |

Those look cracking dude, how many coats of blue and how many of lacquer? :) (don't sand/polish/wax for a couple of weeks!!)
|
4 thin coats of blue and 3 thin coats lacquer Dave and I decided to use this type of lacquer what a finish nice and smooth finish
http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...0411f9783c.jpg They are on the car already and noticed they don't match the colour of the bonnet just A bit darker I will take a photo in the morning of them on . |

As you can see I have a few bits missing lol
http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...33f15d7c86.jpg |
If I bought these how easy would it wire them and where would you put the relay ?
http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...7d0ca693d0.jpg |
Well I think this will do for now
http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...cb00d8c4e4.jpg |

Give it a go. Take your time and prep it well and at the end of the day it'll always look better than being chipped. If your still not happy then get it done by a bodyshop :five:
|
Looking much better! :)
|
Good lad scott.. So much better!!! Believe me mate your splitter has nothing on mine and my front bumper. The paint job I got done was a joke.
|
million times smarter top job
|
Yep, looking good :ok:
|
As there is a lot of stone chips what's the best grade of sandpaper to use to get them flush already got wet and dry fine to give the smooth finish before the primer stage as I am going to attempt it myself first .
|
I was looking through my folders of history that came with the car and noticed that it got fitted with an exedy clutch last year but it doesn't feel like it as it has a slight judder when moving off in first gear unless it's just the up grade one and not the pink box as it was bought from eurocarparts .
|
Today I picked up my replacement lights for the morettes as they were broken so striped the old ones down fitted the parts to the new lights with a bit of elbow grease and swearing but got them fitted and put them back on the car so a wee little photo was in order for my work .

Looks smart, bit so do the oem so I'm torn lol
Coming along nice tho keep it up! |
Painted some more bits this time I used plastikote as Scott(silver surfer) suggested and I Thankyou as it is good stuff now I wonder if I could paint the inlet manifold with it . I redone the header tank lid as it looked crap anyway here is a wee pic of the bits done .
http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...808ca5317e.jpg |
Nice stuff, not sure on the temps plasticoate can deal with, Header tank shouldn't get much above 100 degrees neither should the inlet manifold
