Just finished installing IE conrods and IE manual tensioning kit amongst other bits. Only took 5 days at a steady pace. Wasted 1 day getting the turbo inlet and crank pulley bolts out!

ive wrapped the mirrors in the unique monsterwraps exclusive 4D gloss carbon fibre vinyl this really is sooooo much better than the matte shite other people use

for once mine and dads car were parked next to each other so obviously had to take a photo

and the car had its birthday

Those mirrors look really nice! How did that set you back? Mine have a few nice stone chips so this looks like a good way to hide them

tbh i really like the silver mirrors too originally i was gonna wrap them brushed ally but that stuff costs a fortune

haha unfortunately monsterwraps is the only place that does that gloss vinyl. You possibly could send the mirror caps over to get done then get sent back but best emailing or ringing up. http://www.monsterwraps.co.uk/

Before I get carried away with the idea too much, is it suitable for models with folding electric mirrors?

[akchappers]

Yea why not?

Rang up spray shop where the wheels are. Should be ready on Tuesday next week! Then informed them I'm sending those Skoda wheels to them too!

I thought where the moving parts are around the mirror stalk /base it could rub perhaps and look **** quickly. Out of interest how much did you pay? Iv had a quote for £180 for all 4 vat included, is that reasonable value?

All 4?? surely 2 haha well like i said cos i work here i get it for free and did them myself, but they do take an insane amount of time to do properly so i should think thats about right
