ooo so you have carbon fibre stuff at your work or something? used it a bit at college and its expensive lol

Fitted my new Red 4 Point Harnesses today,IMO looks alot better than the black harnesses i previously had :) (the black ones were 3 point)

Where did you get them from cause they're the same make as my black 3point ones and I can't remember for the life of me where I got them
 
I finally had a spare day to valet the car,seeming as i havent washed her since July last year. I took the time to photograph most things i used and some before and after shots.

Theres a quite a few photos,so bare with me :p

First Step was to rinse and wash the car (obviously) so out came the Meguiar's Ultimate Wash & Wax

Once the car was clean it was to take out any swirl marks,using Meguiar's Step 1 Paint Cleaner

It was time to tackle the Wheels,so once they were dry i used Meguiar's Metal Polish

Followed by a coating of Rim Wax

I then used Meguiar's Endurance Gel for the Tyres:

Next up for the Paint work was to Polish it. A friend had given me some of his own Polish which is the best Polish i've ever used:

Applied:

Exhaust Tip was looking grubby,so out came the Autosol:

Last thing to do was the black plastics. You may have noticed i'm a fan of Meguiars...but nothing beats Auto Glym Bumper Car for black plastics:

its advertising my own car club :p

I'm gonna stick with the Nismo graphics now,IMO it makes the car what it is :) Might add the bottom bit or something along those lines :)
 
did you get the nismo graphics from ebay?

and a silly question is the rear 'micra' badge held on by double sided tape or is it pinned in?
 
I like the RC 350Z but those graphics suit the long wheelbased cars, kinda like what you've done already. Hoses look great.
 
Chris, could you do some close pictures of the side skirt fitting, please?
I got the Rover 400 side skirts, but I'm pretty stuck with mounting them. I'm worried to use the self tappers you have advised me - would there not be water/dirt going under the sill?!?:suspect:
 
I flipped the skirts upside down so the flatter edge is flush with the sill. I've used self tappers and havent had any problems with dirt/water getting inbetween :) Just depends how many you use :) All the photos will be in this blog im afraid sorry
