What are yours stuck on with?

I've got mine stuck on with some halfords adhesive numberplate stickers, but after a couple weeks they seem to be losing grip! Anyone recommend something better?

Both of the above are messy on paintwork.

If you want to stick plates straight to paintwork go with B&Q foam tape.

Although velcro is decent for certain situations

Self tappers are fine on paintwork,can assure you they have not made any damage to mine.It's a peice of cake to do properly, looks neat and subtle plus you never have to worry about them falling off.

No doubt you can get them neat and tidy. It's the holes that I don't like!

Foam tape won't fall off, You'll struggle to get them off even when trying!

Had a big clean today....!!

The arsenal...



Forgot to get many "during" pictures, tend to get a bit caught up in it and forget!

Picture after a spray, clean and clay.



After another clean and glaze



After waxing (end result)









Off to its first "meet" tonight so will get some more pictures then! Im knackard

Also my little bro turned up today in his new car

WOW Gti looks immense mate, bet your dead chuffed with the outcome.

I really am jealous of your bonnet too its mint! mine is in need of a respray.

Your Bro's Leon looks good too, not a patch on the Polo though

Good work dude! really liking those wheels.

Thanks guys. Yeah it was hard work but worth it for the end result! His leon is pretty mint, but it'll never clean up like mine

Also cheers very much for the cleaning guide tim, helped out alot! Only problem was i dropped my clay after i'd finished using it will have to get another one with my next elite order.

Couple new tires next, then spacers

To refurb or not to refurb?!

Hey guys, i recently picked up another set of bbs rxII's at a very good price. There not mint by a long shot, no kerbing but a lot of the usual corrosion on the lip.

I was wondering what the going rate was for a set in this condition?

Or if its worth paying out to refurb them?

Which ones going to make me the most profit

Just looking at your piping on the grille there, what'd you use to keep it in place? Mine popped out on one side last night and I had to sort of wedge the piping (not the flange) between the grille and bumper to hold it in place but as a result it doesn't look as neat on one side.

I gave the grill and piping to my girlfriends dad who owns a bodyshop and he did it so i dont know.

I'll ask him this weekend and let you know bud.

Picture of it from an Exeter meet.

nice pic

cheers!

Aero wipers dude!!
