My "Murdered" VR6

mk3.5 cabby wheel would be legal I think, its plug and play and has an airbag, approved for essentially the same car. I doubt an assessor would pick it as not from a mk3. That being said - nobody buy one as I need it!!



these 2 from tsw are kinda nice



or a bit more oem

Yeah i get what your saying, def go the MK 3.5 cabby wheel. I was referring to a boss kit and momo wheel as something you couldn't use as it doesn't have an airbag. As for rims, i like the oem looking ones, would be awesome.

yellow dials where did you get them from?

You know what? I thought they were stock! But when Mr V came to look at my car he told me they were aftermarket, and that they are usually black. I will have a look again and see who makes them because it has a manufacturers name on them I think.

You will wear out a lot of cutting pads as it will constantly clog the pad full of paint and to do any good you will have to keep replacing the pads.

I would still try some prepsol as it might substantially reduce the amount of paint on the car and reduce the amount of cutting pads needed.

Couldnt hurt to try it on the bonnet seeing its being replaced and all

after about 3 hours of hand rubbing with cloths and cutting compound, I achieved this.

It sucked and I think prepsol needs to be tried!!

Paintwork is ok underneath, i think it could be brought up alot with a quality wax etc

haha sad but true! Arms are kinda tired! I did some research and supposedly acetone will take it off easier.

A polisher may be a good investment... haha. Hand polishing gets real old really quick...

It seems that once you go black, you CAN go back. Its happening kids, it aint pretty but its happening. I am finding filler which is uncool, and looking to replace panels as I go! Ben (sortofbigbj) is hooking me up, and I need to hit up Steve on here who lives round the corner for some panels as well! So far I need a bonnet and both rear doors, as well as both front quarters! I could resparay what I have but if I can get good ones off a mystic blue I will! All this has motivated me to make other exciting stuff happen, when I next post pics up it will be a different car!
