    paint thickness

    Jim Bowen replied to big ben's topic in Car Care

    had mine done by jedi knight and i noted down what he said. i've since got a DA polisher and the only area of paint on the car i experienced any problem with (went through the paint on an edge and revealed white primer) was the area that read the thickest on the depth thingy. I think most of the car was around 120 somethings (microns?) and the area i went through was over 200 iirc and that was using a less abrasive pad and polish than i had used on the bonnet

    dashlights gone

    Jim Bowen replied to jumboVR6's topic in Interior

    check you haven't knocked the dimmer switch, easy mistake to do when cleaning. if not it could be a fuse

    fitting it all is pretty straight forward, but you might/will need someone to set it all up afterwards. i've changed mine 3 times now :lol: and before got the corrado i had never carried out any work on a car before, not even brake pads. I just looked at the idiots working in most garages and thought "if they can do it, then i can do it"

    Alrite Nige - long time - yeah will try to mate just had it MOT'd today and passed no problem so can start putting on the miles and get it run in so coming to yours will help Will call you later today That pic there, reminds me why i love the way the corrado looks so much 8) 8) :salute:

    They are always like that. You will never beat a corsa driver in an arguement about cars as they always resort to the price arguement :cuckoo:

    i read that too when mine was stuck. i got in but didn't cut anything, only broken the front grill a little. once the grill is off there is room to get a metal rod with a hook on the end (like the rod in door that links the interior handle to the lock/catch ;) get that in there and hook onto the mech and pull towards you.

    Jim Bowen replied to fla's topic in Exterior

    the lake county or country? glass polishing kit i've seen used on windscreens but you need a machine polisher to use it could get the yellow pages out and look for a local polishing place, jewellery shop or something? maybe? :confused4:
