Looking shiny! :D

[Bourney]

Looking shiny! :D

wilkos wash n wax shampoo..79p :D and an old dirty chamoix leather. :)

[Shamrockez]

Bargain! :D

[Bourney]

i8 just cannot got the windows clean and clear tho. windowlene doesnt work..any tips as its really annoying me and i know you are very particular with your car cleaning Luce. and..hoe hard is it to clean the inside of the windscreen?????

[Shamrockez]

I just wash them as normal and leather them dry. 'Screenies' are quite good - you can get interior and exterior ones. About 99p a pack, avaliable from most petrol station, halfords etc.

You need long arms to clean the inside of the windscreen! Screenies are good for that tho cos you don't need to spray anything.

Whatever you do, don't use windowlene on the outside of the windscreen - I did that once and couldn't see when it rained cos the wipers wouldn't work! :o

[Blue_Smoothie]

well windowlene works like a trick on my bug, promise, 4 sprays on front window and then buff dry :)

[Shamrockez]

Really? I think I used Mr Muscle window cleaner on Bert when it went wrong.....

[naf536]

I have heard that newspaper is good for cleaning the windows, just rub the paper over the windows when wet or dry ?

I did see a valeter do it once and i thought he was a little cuckoo, but the windows came out good on the car that he just cleaned :o

[Doodlebug]

Yeah i heard the newspaper thing works as well :D :D

Looking cool though mate...any plans for any more mods? :)

[Vickie]

I love this colour! You don't see many bugs like it and he looks very manly! :D

[Bourney]

Thanks guys,

no major mods on my mind as i like the car as it is to be honest. i think im having the front painted just to tidy him up and also needs a little scuff on the rear bumper sorting (started as a little scratch and me being a bit heavy hadnded with t cut mean sits now a 2" round dull patch!!)

any mods will be very subtle..altho i would have a nice bra to protect me new paint when its done.

when considering the paint i started to look at ghosted grey flames from the front up the bonnet and down the wings but after speaking to a few folk who know people who have down it, prices etc..i cant justify the cost.

i did save for the Jabba remap..and i got the money together but then started to think that i am not a fast driver so im just doing it for the sake of having that performance there.

so...any subtle ideas anyone?? nothing too `already done' or modern..as i like the more retro look. i quite like the black roof idea but after seeing one in the flesh it didnt look that good. i ove roof racks but Nefs been there and done it!! and d one it well!i also think that the turbo badge just has to go!!!! far too wigaddy wigaddy wack..biggaddy biggaddy bong!!!!

I was thinking of getting this done to Noodle, wot sort of prices were u quoted if u dont mind me asking? :)

[Bourney]

didnt get any quotes Ian, just openmouths and `builders' ghasps! lol

i think youa re probably looking at over a grand for some single coloured flame work to the front! 2 of us could go to New York for a fortnight instead. mind you i hacent had a quote for just having it reprayed grey yet!
