    .

    Its cool mate,I hit the face of the rim (20"a with the orbital sander and i was able to feather off the scratch lucky it wasnt deep. I had polished the face of the rims early last year. Looks like nothing ever happened.
    Just gotta watch out for them swaying gutters now.
    Cheers

    Did an Oil and fuel filter service this weekend.

    I didn't like the look of the wood grain finish on my cars, so I carbon fibered it

    So after 11+ hours detailing the car. We increased the clarity ten fold, removed 90 percent of swirls and imperfections, and improved the depth a great deal too. It's liquid smooth and looks and feels fantastic. So stoked.

    Used:
    Dodo juice clay and lube
    Mint apc
    festool rotary, festool rotex, carcareproducts das6 pro
    Menzerna polishes FG500, PF2500.
    Mint apc wash again
    Dodo juice lime prime
    Duragloss 601 bonding agent
    Duragloss 105 sealant
    Duragloss 111 clear coat polish.

    Will layer the car with dodo juice blue velvet wax soon, and. Top up with dodo juice red mist.

    Thanks to pierre's rotary wielding skills and car care products.

    I'm not a fan of carbon fibre that much, but absolutely hate the wood grain in a modern-ish car, looks completely out of place. I didn't see the before pics, but looks way better, I'm sure!

    If I end up getting a GTI, wood grain is def getting removed!

    PS - Advice needed..
    I have front brake disc that has a screach, also it's 'on-off-on-off...', the brake pads have heaps of meat, so I don't know why it's screaching? I assume that the 'on-off-on-off...' nature is because of a warped/buckled disc. Any thoughts?

    I've been offered 'machining' the front 2 discs for about $120-$160 at Pedders Mascot/Alexandria, or I could buy a new disc?

    Man, that looks like brand new. Would make me embarrased if I pulled up next to you

    Looks good, reckon you should get a chrome badge, black out your rear view mirror and move your rego badge to your back left window.

    Oh and get some OEM dual blinker headlights. <3

    Oh and give me your new wheels, Thanks

    haha thanks dan, definitely not getting a chrome badge :p
    but your others ideas are good - black rear view and i've been meaning to move the rego sticker back.. have to get aother sent out to me i reckon. dont want to try and move it and have it bork up on me.
    thinking about it - could just rewire my fog lights into a turn signal somehow and get an amber bulb

    Wow your running on the edge, I was always told don't go past 23psi

    Aren't you afraid of overboosting and the rods?
