When I picked up the car it had VW Indigo Blue LED's fitted in the dash lights. Not to my liking, so it was time to get some OE look stuff fitted and these replacements arrived today.
Well two packets actually as I had sausage fingers.
Lovely.

Underneath the arches.
As it's been a day without a proper plan I decided to have a clean of the arches. So, between showers I set too with this collection of products.
So wheels off and a check proves that everything seems in good order so just a quick scrub down with some Surfex HD and some multi-surface cleaner followed by a wash with soapy water.
Inside the lip of the arch. Lovely.
A spray of Dynax and now the fronts.
Liners off.
Before.
After.
Liners on with new clips. I did think of going at it with a wire cup and drill but as the surfaces are so good I left them.

I bought the clear film anti-corrosion wax from Opie as they stock the full range of Bilt Hamber products. The only areas I used the Hydrate 80 cure rust where the tie down eyes and a few chips on the front springs.

Blinking flip that car is clean, it must have been 'babied' it's whole life looking at the condition of it.
I know I have said it before but it has to be the bargain of the century.

Is it easy to clean the arches with a degreaser, Surfex and no steam cleaning?
How are the front liners taken off?

Looking good Ian, glad to see people looking after a RA. There are plenty of look-a-likes or ones that have been ruined, its nice to see a impressively clean OEM looking car.
My speakers need replacing the fronts are original 1995 jobbies are in good nick, the rears are fudged after sitting on the shelf in direct sunlight for 19 years.

You can get replacements in Halfrauds or OE spec from the internet.

Need to replace about 60 rusty bolts/washers on the under trays with some nice shiney stainless ones.
So if I could impose on you a some point would be great?
