Ace-K Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 Cheers for the warm welcome everyone! Ahh plans are to basically get it looking like the one in your avatar there Chanelle, some 5/6 spoke 15" white alloys and a possible backbox just. Got the stickers and side bumpers off today but that adhesive keeping those side bumpers on is killing me trying to get it off! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chanelle1234 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 thanks for compliment bud. Took me 3hours to take one side off lol, started to attempt the other side then my nan came round and said why dont you try using a ice scraper, i did and got it off in 45mins max lol. try using some maguires bug and tar remover that helps.keep us updated bud, may have some competition chanelle x Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ace-K Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 That's what I've been using but it's a no go like, a card only does so much Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Grab an eraser wheel off ebay ONLY if your 100% its got the original paintwork and keep the wheel moving so heat doesnt build upDid all 5 doors in about 15min and managed to throw some polish down Click Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ace-K Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 Cheers for the advice everyone! I was reading on a few other forums there and people have said WD-40 does the trick, if that doesn't work that eraser wheel is being purchased XD Cheers Asad! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chanelle1234 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 If i was to say what i think the best mod is that i have purchased so far it would have to be my k&n induction kit, i strongly recommend it as a first mod bud sounds lovely.chanelle xp.s get some more pics of your car up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ace-K Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Cheers for the recommendation Chanelle! I'll have to look into that, was planning on getting a back box welded in a few weeks aswell! But alloys are coming first Finding it so hard though to find a decent set for not too much. Well anyways, after 2 days of hard and tedious work I've got it sitting like this!
