CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted January 10, 2010 I love your daily :luvlove: I know you do,it must be the shade of green :tongue: Well the car should be painted this month the lads say! :cheers: then its the mission to reassemble the lot,but im doing this at work in the body shop....nice and warm,lots of room to work around etc :D Ive also accumulated a selection of new parts to go back on...... New bonnet pin strikers New Bonnet centre catch New Corrado script covers New chrome door latches and striker pins. New Sekurit windscreen New windscreen seals New seals for wing mirrors New seals for door handles Various new nuts and bolts. New arieal base with seal. Also Ive bought some Lamin-x of Neil to give my headlights and fogs/indicators a subtle tint as this does suit red very well. But before i applied the tint to my indicators have uou noticed that the all the product info,number etc are raised on the plastic indicators? well i did not want to apply the tint over them to find the stick out like a sore thumb,so i ground them down,and repolished the plastic with wet and dry and i tell you what it looks great and like new as you remove all the years of road abuse. 8) As for applying the Lamin-x its real easy but heat is your friend and it stretches around corners etc so easily when using a hot air gun,well impressed with it. 8) Also it makes pitted glass look like new... 8) Later Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StormchargedVR6 0 Posted January 10, 2010 Nice work james , tryed the Lamin-x myself but never stuck on the corners even with heat? look good for few days then lifted.

culshaw 1 Posted January 17, 2010 looks real good, what was your method to remove the windscreen?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted January 18, 2010 looks real good, what was your method to remove the windscreen?? cut the screen out with removal tool right round the screen besides the bottom,stick your head on the screen on the inside to lever it out and use a stanley blade to slice the lower part of the seal from the inside. I had a new screen to go in so i pushed it to the point it broke....the quater glass is a hole new ball game :brickwall: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
