itsagoodalife Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Looks great , I need to do mine , did you just use a finishing pad on DA ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigieboy Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 No I just used a Scholl concepts purple pad. Removed all the swirls no problem and finished off with a turtle wax spray wax, I'm really happy with the results. It's not perfect and tbh I never chase perfection when detailing, too dangerous I just look to make a good improvement. A mate had the paint on his new GR86 ruined by a detailer chasing perfection, had to get painted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Carrot Steve Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 I should get on and do mine, looks like a good result. And you're right, chasing perfection is dangerous. I once heard a brain surgeon say 'perfection is the enemy of good' So true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 I’ve just re-fitted our en suite shower room, when I last did it I built in some custom made cupboards with mirrored doors, the silvering was getting a bit the worse for wear, so off came the old and new mirrors fitted.

It only had a spike with it and a rather large base which you fill with water, so I thought I would make something more compact from bits and bobs I had around the garage, but mainly some aluminium tube from a broken camping chair, some threaded rod and a couple of blocks of wood. (EDIT aswell as the bit from the spike that the flag mounts on). After a couple of false starts, this one works well, just needs a sand down and a coat or two of paint. This is my version. Flat plate with a bolt tapped through and a steel bar screwed onto it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could do with a tennis ball on top of that, especially if the grass is wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethS09 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Now just waiting on the mesh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euan Hoosearmy Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Belts swapped. Red to blue and more importantly "pull down" so you don't have to get out to adjust lap belts. Thanks to @GarethS09 for selling me the belts. And yes, I did sort the handbrake adjustment out whilst the seats were out.. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My belts are pull down, still can't adjust the lap strap while I'm sat in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They a 3d printed molds so you can press the mesh into the correct shape for the V8 hood. https://westfield-sportscars.co.uk/shop/1206000-zk-v8-bonnet-6307#attr= 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euan Hoosearmy Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 @Flying Carrot Steve i think it depends on girth, the rounder you are the more space between buckle and siides for achieving adjustment... being somewhat skinny, i found i had to undo the belt to adjust the lap strap. With the old belts I was sitting on the adjuster so no hope of alteration unless you got out.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a V8 bonnet, didn't realise they were almost a grand and half! 😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
