£1087 including the manifold or manifold back?

Including the manifold - tho that was the group buy price, not sure it's valid any more

[rsg]

Manifold - £350
Downpipe - £615
Back box - £500

Total - £1465

Editted to add

£1087 including the manifold or manifold back?

Light restoration - part 1

Both headlights were leaking quite badly (with cobwebs inside, so I new it was severe!)





And here is the cause - completely failed seal (and yes, that is the upper edge )



So used a heat gun to soften the sealant a little and a pearing knife to lever the cover away



The OEM sealant really isn't very strong, hence the stuff left over very easily peeled off



Leaving some very mouldy lights behind





Just need to spraqy the things black and tigerseal them back together now

[The Batman]

now st down infront of the tele with masing tape and spend the next few hours masking it up! by the way did you get my pm?

by the way did you get my pm?

Just found it

I knew there were issues with the paintwork when I picked it up, and had resigned myself to some serious work with an orbital polisher, but thought I'd have a play today on a small section to see what I could manage by hand - mainly to give an idea of how much work will be required after the Meguiares day next weekend

A before shot - pretty bad, very hazed



And a couple of after shots - I'm pretty amazed how much it managed to remove, all but the deeper scrathes have gone, and even the ones remaining have been disguised somewhat





The process I used was:

Full wash with Autoglym shampoo
Tesco Coulour Restorer (worked really well, wasn't expecting that, not too abraisive either)
Autoglym Super Resin Polish (x2 applications)
Autoglym Ultra Deep Shine
Collinite 476 wax

My arm now hurts tho, and I have 9/10ths left to do

[The Batman]

you can do mine if you want! that looks awesome!

[mandarinvx]

Can do if I get a machine polisher next weekend I'll do your car whilst you're changing my exhaust and timing chain

[JimmyJamJerusalem]

Aww man, I wanna come up and play! I recognise that reflection, lol.

[The Batman]

you even have the privilege of polishing my car in the garden

Decided to get on with one of the jobs I don't enjoy:





Fitted a pair of side pockets:



Nice n clean



And the carbon centre console (turned out to be more of a PITA than expected ) together with a new gearknob and handbrake handle
