Well I suppose at least it's not just me who's messed this up before! Will keep it all posted in the gallery section for who's interested. Gonna try stripping the paint and starting again and if it fails a second time I'll probably just use carbon fibre effect vinyl.

Cheers for the info guys

Currently in the process of colour coding my centre console to match the car. I did 2 primer coats and 2 arctic silver coats. These went fine. Did the last silver coat wednesday afternoon and did the lacquer today. Something went wrong as in places its gone wrinkley is the best way to describe it. D...

tangomachine

There will be a console update in next couple of weeks once I've put it all back together. Still at the same stage as pics above show at the moment

tangomachine

Daft question probably but what is the tonneau covered with. Is it leather or vinyl? I'm thinking vinyl but not sure. Would like to know what to use on it, either leather treatment or vinyl and rubber stuff

tangomachine

Might of seen this? Same colour and wheel combo but only saw from a distance

Mod Edit: Post redacted at samytee's request as it was a little too specific about location. R.

Finally fitted my refurbed wheels and fitted a new CD player with usb slot so I can now use my phone for music

Well since I haven't had the time lately I ended up sending my wheels to be properly refurbed by a professional company. And here are the results: http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r104/crowan123/20130616_155521_zps614432a8.jpg http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r104/crowan123/20130629_143451_zps86...

Sounds like at least one wire is broken if central locking doesn't work. I had this problem. Followed the guide in the knowledge base. Ordered all the same bits from the same place as he did. Was dreading doing it but it is so easy to do I thought I'd missed something!

tangomachine

Got 2 wheels ready for spraying today. Do you intend to use a bit of Acid Etch primer first? Seems to be the recommendation from those in the know. Yeah I noticed that a couple of people used it first before normal primer so I picked some up this morning. According to the can it sticks to metal a l...

Sprayed using bmw arctic silver spray paint from halfords. Just done one coat today. Has anyone else done this? Did you put a second coat on before lacquering? Then I'm gonna put 2 coats of lacquer on for protection. Next on the list to order are leather boomerangs with red stitching. Black gaitors ...

Got 2 wheels ready for spraying today. Put some chemical metal on the two that are rubbed down ready to spray aswell. It was easier to apply than expected With chemical metal rubbed down on bottom pic http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r104/crowan123/20130602_174340_zps34881692.jpg http://i142.photo...

Morrison's car park this morning in huddersfield. Looked good, roof down beige interior and tonneau and mesh wind deflector.

Anyone off here? I did park next to you but was gone again before you came out

tangomachine

Ever since I bought my car last march ive never been totally happy with the z star alloys it came with. The lacquer has started to lift and go milky. It annoys me everytime I wash it. So I found myself some style 89 alloys on ebay at a reasonable price and not at the other end of the country http://...

Anyone got any ideas on the best way to fix it? Maybe superglue a patch from the inside or something? The hole does go right...

Looking good Marty. One question though: how do you blend it in where the wheel meets the tyre? Is it a case of let the tyre down and push it out the way So You can get around The Back Of The lip so to Speak? Some paint has peeled on the edges of mine and I'm attempting it myself but not sure about ...

Cheers for all the replies guys. Doing some googling it appears there's 2 types of refurb. Having them stripped and painted or stripped and powder coated. General opinion seems to be that powder coating is the worse one to have. Can anyone confirm

tangomachine

So I finally got myself a set of style 89s. Problem is they've had a hard life by the look of them. Wondered if anyone has refurbed there own as I want to have a go myself. I know g8jka has done this on his 78s and hope he can answer a few things but any input would be great. Here goes, First once I...

Be interested to see the m3 wheels I've been thinking of going down that route myself. Only ever seen them on a red z3 for sale on pistonheads

tangomachine

Yeah mine is apart from a stormworks v1 gear knob. Got plans to do various things but i always seem to spend the money on other things. Only other things I've done have been to make it back to standard ie... fix third brake light leak, new aerial grommet and boot loom repair

tangomachine

Recently been looking for a front splitter for my zed. I quite like the Reiger one g8jka Has fitted to his car and just wondering what other types are available if any. And are they all a universal fit across the zed range? Mines a pre face lift narrow body 1.9. Am I right in thinking they just chan...

Good luck with the sale. Im sure itll sell no problem. I chased quite a few on ebay until I got one for a reasonable amount

a new (to me) centre console. plan is to spray it to match the body work. The interior is currently black leather black centre console and It just seems a bit plain

And more exciting a snow foam lance

tangomachine

sorry to be off topic but about that pic above with the slammed car. The black bit on the back of the boot is that just a sticker or a certain part you can buy? if so what's it called?

tangomachine

1.9 16v locally I get about 170-200 miles out of £40. best I've ever got was from a full tank I was just over half full after 250 miles on motorways and dual carridge ways. At the end of the day we don't buy these cars for their mpg. I do get some weird looks from non petrol heads when I say this!

tangomachine

A tonneau cover, new aerial grommet, parts to fix the boot loom issue, LEDs for the boot. About time it got a bit of attention now that big yellow thing is appearing in the sky more often

tangomachine

looks great. First time I've seen it done on headlights. Couple of (probably daft) questions though.

1 is it a spray on job or some kind of tints?

2 is it legal? as in will the police pull you for it? wouldn't mind trying it myself if it's legal

tangomachine

you can get the grommet off eBay. pre face lift and post facelift are different so make sure you get the right one. I got my brake light seal from the main dealers a few month ago for £5 next day delivery
