What black did you use on the headlights? Want to do this to mine soon and wasn't sure. Satin? Gloss? Etc?

Cheers mate

Stoo

 

Fair play mate, nice to see someone who really cares for all their cars, top work.

Get a splitter on the front - will transform the front end.

 

i used gloss black pal as i thought it would go better with my car, although i think satin may be nicer with silver and blue?


next thing on the list dude, going to get the japspeed one, just waiting for a member on hear to make a carbon replica

 

Very nice mate!

What cleaning products did you use to clean the engine?

not really a fan of either of them mate, i just like the subtleness of the carbon vortex one, i also plan to get carbon rear splitter so the fins may go with it :-S......


I used a viraity of diffrent stuff mate WD40,brake cleaner,Auto glym engine cleaner,metal polish and a variety of brushes, toothbrush, different compound wire wool, and sand paper lol...... it no where near where i want it to be though it still looks tatty as hell, i think one day il get most the engine out and repaint the lot haha

 

Cool cheers mate. Mine is black to

 

Looking good, if you want the thread moved I can do it for you. Just let me know

Keep up the good work.

 

Very nice mate , but then I would say that cos I have one too ;-)

 

Moved at the OPs request.

Keep up the good work

 

Stunning car! Good job of tidying up the engine bay as well. What did you use on the inlet manifold?

 

cheers pal, and WD40 worked the best for the inlet, still many hours to be spent under there though

 

Car looks great,black comes up really well,mines blue but got a couple of black cars you can really see the difference when polished and waxed.what insurance do you pay if you don't mind me asking.

 

yeh although im gutted it was literally swirl free when i bought it because they mopped it and detailed it, id done a good job of keeping it topped up but had no choice but to take it to the polish because it was filthy and moved house so never had a hose. long story shot its now covered in holograms, im sooo pissed !!!!.


insurance was a lot cheaper than i imagined it was only £1050

 

Awesome car, great (and very classy) mods.

 

That's a great price mate

 

Hey man, Love the car! Ive just bought my first Subaru as well and its exactly the same as yours

I want to do the same to my headlights, just a few questions.
How did you split them?
I take it you used primer, gloss black then a lacquer?
When you remove the orange bit at the top have you got to change the bulb to an orange one or whatttttt? that bit confuses me haha.
Any tips to help me to do this...

Cheers

 

just primer and black mate, didn't bother with lacquer, you can either put them in the oven, in front of a space heater or use a heat gun, there are screws in the back, take them all out and heat it up it will then go tacky and pull apart very easy.....and yeh you will need orange indicators, i would recommend silvertec ones rather than orange ones

 

Cheers man, What did you use to re seal the headlights then?
