Nice and slammed

Low is the only way to go,the Loon looks good whats the future plans for it.

Joe... this is a saloon dude.

Still, it's a break from the norm!

Nice work.

yeah i know mate, just saying that aswell as this, i'd like to see an estate done

I'm just reading all the wrong signals from you at the moment, aren't I...?

well been busy on the good old wheels the last few weeks having a go at polishing the lip up and im happy so far with what i have done but im still waiting for some bits to arive that i have ordered to finish them off so hear they are so far




what u all think?

I think they'll look great!

A lot of hard work, but it's worth it in the end...

cheers chap still waiting on some more sand paper to arive to finish it of compleatly got some 2000/2500/3000 grit coming should get rid of all the little scratches i hope

I only went down to 800 grade on my Audi pepper-pots in the end. Then the final polish made them like a mirror.

You got a polishing kit to go on your drill, or are you doing it all by hand?

its was all done by hand to 1500 then i got myself a dremil to do abit with some autosol some chap on club polo has used 2500 and he has a spot on mirror finish so thaught i would see what it looks like on mine

take them right down to 3000 than to get that really mirror finish

heres a set i did

That's the same kit I used too... but I reckon you'd get away with using the first kit (without the smaller polishing felts - I never used them).

Will have to get my polishing skills back out again soon I think!

Ye the felt bobs are only any good ifyou areworki g on a bench machine better offwith small mops for free work like wheels.
