While spraying badges, which i havent finished yet, i got up to a couple of other jobs.

Decided to spray tweeter cases black.
BEFORE:



DURING:


AFTER:


Also thought i would take my rear view mirror off to spray black, which turned out to be a huge mistake and lead to.....



Had to get windscreen replaced which cost £50, but didnt effect no claims bonus. Also dont have a sunstrip at moment

Oh how does it actaully come off then, becuase im guessing tugging at it wasnt the best option

Also since i am selling my alloys (check out for sale section, BBS RXII) i have got my mates lupo wheels on


Also look at the gap between caliper and wheel !!!!

Made me feel like i had a big brake conversion lol

Sh*t, i didnt think it actually would do that! thought it was just a myth.

I think the correct way is an anit-clockwise twist? DONT quote me though, i'm scared of it now I've seen that lol

lol yeh, a mate said it was just a twist off but i said im not trying ti again lol

£50 i would have rather spent on something else 2 b honest

How come your selling the RXIIs?

so i can get tomo's black RXII

i originally wanted black, becuase of my black blue theme im trying to accomplish

i think it will look really good with the black bbs

ah cool, you looked at getting them refurbed in black?

nono his are allready in black

Yeh yeh I know, i just ment have you looked at getting the ones you've already got refurbed in black?

Mind you, if you sold them for a decent enough price, and got the other ones for also a decent price, it would be a lot cheaper

yeh, only reason im selling is so i can get his, will work out same price so i wont be gaining or loosing money

will just have the alloys in a different colour lol

so all good for me really, well if all goes well

i think you should buy my alloys tim

haha! i'll give you a tenner

was looking for a bit more, but ill bare it in mind

Noo! You've done exactly the same mistake I've done in taking the rear view mirror off.
What you have to do is just twist it anticlockwise, rather than intending to pull out the mirror. The base comes off as well.

yeh that sounds right, compared to to pulling on it until your windscreen cracks lol

did you crack yours when you tried?

Is it that a legit way of doing then?

Just twist the whole lot anti clockwise and it comes off. Or put windsurfing kit in your car and it will fall off! (happens to mine anyway!)
