Has your right EDIT: RIGHT REAR. door been replaced/repainted? It looks like it has more orange peel than the rest of the car. (Not bad orange peel, just natural) The car looks great though A++

Lots of work there dude, good job!

Not a fan of the carbon wrap, probably would have just used the blue plaid stuff instead myself, but that's mainly because it's what I did to my own car lol

Bentley wheels are fresssssh

Keep up the good work

So.....Uni is over and i am home to play with my car again.

Fist thing i did is get my RS from my mate who was keeping them for me and then as soon as i took one of the caps off i looked at the bolt holes and they looked a bit small so i took a bolt from the passat and as i suspected the holes are too small for the m14 bolts.

Today was very productive, Went machine shop and got a price to enlarge the holes in the RS. Then i got the tyres taken off, Washed my car, fitted my new bonnet bra and then started splitting down the wheels.

The FIRST time these wheels have been split. They are completely original.





Will look better with smaller tyres. lol.









Heating up sealant to take out centers



And the "look i have wide wheels" pic that is mandatory when taking apart RS. lol

[LukeyBabes]

So i got my leather arm rest in the post today. And i got it colored as soon as i got it.

A comparison, Old vs new





Also covered the air con surround that was the same fabric as the headlining in carbon fiber vynal wrap.



Made a massive difference!



Also split the rest of the RS. Am taking the centers to the machine shop middle of next week. Will fix the curbing on the dishes while thats happening. And prob change my headlining while im at it. Does anyone know what i can use to strip the lacquer off the dishes. Paint stripped does not touch it!

Went on a photo shoot tonight as well but i will upload those pics tomorrow because i will have to edit them. lol

I would try lacquer thinner in the wheels, but careful, it makes paint thinner look like lemonade. Try on inconspicuous area before doing the whole wheel Not even sure it will work, but worth a try.
