Wooo a Greeny!

very nice mate, congrats!

enjoy the drive? what are your plans for her? (i love those rims i want to steal them.)

**Dubdubdubdot** · 26-07-2009, 10:35 PM

Stock 'duckbill', coilovers, custom bbs rims, sound system, extractors, exhaust. Maybe a brakes upgrade. Roof racks for bicycles

...oh and a rad golfball gear knob

Apart from the foremost mentioned, everything will be done NEXT year at the minimum.

Drive wise, Dad and uncle recons its fugening fantastic. I have driven it once, it is the first time I've driven a manual, therefore not licensed to comment. Auto I can drive, manual, well....I gotta work at it.

Cheers for the compliments.

Quiz as previously stated: I know what it is, but do you?

Bottom of door, drivers side, there is one similiar to this one the other door as well as the passengers side.

IN OTHER NEWS:
-More blackening on the handles, alot less streaky, very black.
-A/C with flying foam stuck behind on of the vents. Bad picture. Theres some on the right and left, the left peices are grey and hard to see.

Better pictures of car.

Me getting into all the senstive spots...'that feels better doesn't baby..'

Haha, very nice man.

I'm gonna go right ahead and promote my favourite product, KIWI SHOE POLISH.

Get it from woolies at like $4 per bottle, and it comes with the little foam pad on top to apply it with. Put it on your black textured bumpers. They come out like this:

Oh, that was my shameless pic whoring by the way

Haha, that stuff gets so annoying. If Im driving my mums one and turn the AC on full ball, bits of black foam come shooting out of the vents all over me and whoever is in the passenger seat.

Tweezers are the best option to get out the bits stuck against the grilles, the foam melts and sticks to the plastic very easily as I found out when trying to drag it out with my fingers one day...

Advice had been taken from previous thread. Kiwi polish is being used (kids scruff version).
1/ How did you get yours SO black
2/ Best method for applying streak free on larger areas!

Porn, which shall involve no shame. Thank you.

Hahah.

1. Believe it or not, I just applied kiwi shoe polish after a wash. I used to do it about once every month but it hardly wears off. After about...probably over 8 months of not properly applying it, I'm going to need to do it again soon because it's fading. I think $2 every 6 months is a good investment for black bumpers

2. What exactly do you mean? If it streaks, then that means the plastic isn't picking it up very nicely. I'd suggest going over it softly with a wet-dry 400 piece of sandpaper, cleaning it with wax and grease remover and trying again. I'll be doing this to all my bumpers soon too.

Streaking as in, not applying evenly and meaning you got to spend time 'blending' it in so everything is even.

Are the handles a different material to the lips/sideskirts/uncoloured body parts, they're really plasticy, or is the wear on the handles which makes them feel different.
