DILLIGAF?: Project Ratty

Looks great 8) I've become jealous of those blacked out headlights too. :P
@66f97cf7bf=jamesshack:
All I will say to that is never again will I use Halfords for any paint of any kindever again. :evil: hate those paints.
I found the Halfords own brand rattlecans to have fairly bad quality nozzles too, one can would be fine and the next could start spitting out paint like a hoor.

Yeah those lights are awesome, pray tell the method?

It's easy really. Heat the oven up to 240 degrees and when at full temperature turn it off and place the lights (I did one at a time) in on a baking tray for 5-10 mins. This softens up the adhesive around the lens so you can peel it off (you may also need a small flat blade to help but beware of small shards of glass- I cut the f**k out of my fingers doing them). Then it's just a case of taking the chrome centre out and spraying up the backs.
It is very advisable to have some black silicone to re seal the lens when everything is finished, and also make sure you take out the bulbs otherwise they will explode.

Well ta very much will get round to that finishing head rest speakers at the moment then tackle the removal of pesky bumper to get to the lights. :D

Ah, but this one's a minter, full stainless turbo piping and not a sign of rot, at the moment it's around the £200 mark, I'm not holding my breathe though.

I had a truly boring day yesterday so I decided to ready the paint and take some more of My interior apart.
I finally got round to finishing the centre console off by doing the vent surround
And did the passenger and driver side vent surrounds too
I've ran out of plastics to spray (well, ones that will look tasteful anyway) and I've ordered some more carbon film to cover the black plastic under my head unit and to match my "racing ashtray" lid :lol:

Cheers, I just wish it could have been something a little more exciting ie: "Look, I've finally lowered my car" or "here's my 1.6 now with an Eaton M45 super charger".
I'm sat here on the pooter, drinking Fosters and my GF's credit card is sat next to the monitor staring at me and tempting me to buy some Rota RB's…...
I better move it quickly :shock:

We saw him driving through town the other day and waved. My wife said "Well, you wouldn't mistake him for someone else at any rate."

Hehe, yes, I was on a boredom trek, I went for a blast over to Guisborough and back before coming back and cleaning the car.

I'd just got back from Cologne in Blue, so my wife gave it a five-hour clean and polish - spooky. We were on our way to do some photography in various places (the best is up in my fleet thread).
-
Did some more carbon wrapping on the centre console today.
This is the first attempt and I'll probably take it all apart and do it again at some point (seeing as I got the top section weave going in the wrong direction :roll: )

Not too shabby mate!
