what have you done to your car today ?

[t0m]

Good job ^

Refurbished my headlights, they were very bad with stone chips, so much so that they looked sandblasted..lol

So 4hours later after working through the grades of wet sanding and an hour or so of polishing the drivers side is done... Looks amazing, just like a new headlight.

Oh yeah the reason it took so long was I was out in the rain and hail and was doing it by hand.

Will do the passenger one tomorrow.. stupid weather.

Any pics of them mate, before and after???

 

[t0m]

Yeah wouldn't mind seeing some pics too of the headlight refurb.

 

[rob - 73]

Not the best pics, I think I will give the drivers side another couple of passes of polish.

Passenger side - not done yet (gives you an idea what the drivers side was like before)

Drivers side - done

Another good job! ^

I put my 007p back on ready for my remap Thursday

 

[rob - 73]

Did the passenger side headlight wet sand and 2hours of polishing.

Started to snow but thought what the hell... power through..lol.

Then decided to wash the car to get the full effect of the shiny headlights refurb.

Neighbours thought I was mental, at least there is more like me on here.. Good work folks

 

[big eck]

A guide on what you done and what you used for the headlights would be good

 

[rob - 73]

No worries mate, I will try and get that done tonight when the girlfriend is watching xfactor..lol

 

[LEE69]

Look loads better needs some nice leds now, and take a pic under the same conditions to show the difference, i have seen this done on a mates car so no the results are amazing.

Lee, what's involved changing dipped beam to LED?
Is it just a straight swap, same connector etc
Oh and what is the deal with MOT with them?

Cheers mate
