So what mods have you done this week?
Thought it would be a good way for people to show there weekly mods. Bought myself some new headlight bulbs, i hope there as good as the night breakers. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...1d15a448e9.jpg |
Yeah Rich there quite good, i loaded some pictures up maybe on another topic.
Here they are again, right side light is them and passenger side are cheap bulbs. Might try the night breakers next. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...09018ae71.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...aff5bac8b.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...71f01acd2.jpeg |

Did this on mine and might be a small thing, but makes quite a difference to the look of the car, less tatty, and more polished finish.
Tray under wiper arms. Roof rack bars. Plastic side skirts. Mudflaps. plasitc trims on side mirrors. Cant hurt to have a good spruce up of it all. |
Yeah not fitted both yet but good improvement, night breakers look better on paper for night not sure if much in it though.

I re-sprayed my wiper arms on sat. They were looking a right state with chips and the paint peeling. Only a little thing I guess but another off the currently long list of to do's for the Car. Not exactly a pro job but good enough.
So did I. I had them nylon-coated in satin black - look the biz and really freshens the car up. It's all in the little details.... |
Did my wipers and the plastric trim bits in satin black when I bought the car. Looks OEM and makes a massive improvement.
|
That's the next thing I wanna do. Tidy up some trims. Did you use laquer aswell ?

I think I missed that one, I have one ready to put on. Should I pass on it?
Personally I wouldn't fit an unknown branded item. As the saying goes, buy cheap, buy twice. Go for something like a genuine Walbro, or RCM or SWRD pump. I have the latter and it's been great. https://www.scoobynet.com/group-buys...ly-2016-a.html |

Previous owner painted my wiper arms in what looks like hammerite and judging by the quality seems he used some kind of vegetable as a paint brush!
I really must get around to cleaning them up and respraying as they look shocking. |

Did you use the normal satin black or the high temp one brown pants? I didn't know which one to use to be honest, I was thinking maybe the high temp version would be a little more hard wearing maybe?
Just the normal temp off the shelf own brand stuff. No special high temp paint required unless you are planning to drive through a volcano. If so then yes, high temp paint would be better. |

I did my tow bar plate in hammerite and instantly regretted it. I'm going to take it off, strip it again and spray properly I think. I'm never going to tow anything, no point it having it an odd shade from the rest of the trimmings etc.

Did you use metal hammerite ? I was gonna use some but won't bother if that's what you used.

https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...9fd6ebd05f.jpg I wouldn't mind the black suede ones they go like them with a black spec c rear bench but I don't think my fat arse would fit in them though lol! |
I wanna spray the bar that's attached to my top mount black but one of the bolts refuses to come out because all it does is keep turning. may be a drilling by the looks of things but I'd rather not if I can help it.

both the exact same colour, bit darker than the sti blue, just a bad shadow/lighting in the underground carpark
the suede sti recaros are nice but dont hold you like these, still a bit tame with the bolsters but they are mental money The bugeye sti seats are the best in my opinion for holding you in from the three bug blob and hawk I've never drove or even sat in any evo till this day so don't know how they compare to the bug sti seats :wonder: |

Much better. Another thing I'll do I think. Did you do them on the car or take off? If off are they easy to remove?
Edit because I said "Scott" = "Scotch" |
