what did you use? need to do mine
-
Not very technical I'm afraid but basically bilberry wheel cleaner to agitate dirt then wiped / washed off with old microfibre I then just sprayed my tyre dressing all over and again microfibre to dry
Easy peasy
-
How you liking the mk5 mate? We'll have to have a local mini meet sometime.
-
I'm in love fitted something tonight will get pics in daylight :)
Bye bye rcd300
Yes would be up for that mate
New grille and mini number plate next for me
-
One thing that was letting the car down was the RCD300 the worst stereo ever
so enough was enough
Kenwood DNX520VBT

Nice work mate, did the kenwood come with the surround etc? I like how it keeps the oem look.

Original surround fits perfect only ... Everything I needed for a stereo does everything I need ... And got a "fairly" good price off the bay :)
Trying to save money but I can't help myself I keep finding things ahhhh

Nice car. :happy2: kenwood looks great, wanting 1 myself but don't have the funds.

I'm exactly the same you should see my ebay watch list!! I've just had a fairly good pay rise and my first thoughts were CAR PARTS! But I need to hold back for a while after a few things I fancy.

Any opinions ? Good bad thanks

So I brought a 3" downpipe off ebay it comes with a reducer to 61 mm
Great only thing is my car has a aftermarket cat back ... I have measured it and it's 72mm ...... There is already a 61 to 72 reducer on the car now ...
I need to cut the reducer of the the down pipe and fit a 76mm to 72 mm
Any ideas please help
-
search on ebay , there's a guy who makes reducers to your specification.
I had one made excellent product and a good price.Can look who I used if needed.
