Abdul 0 Posted March 19, 2012 What APC did you use mate? I need to hit my arches some time. They're filthy!! Nice work btw and keep the RS'. If you fancy change go for slightly wider dishes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 15 Posted March 19, 2012 I got it from Screwfix, £13 for 5 litres and I just used it neat through a spray bottle. Leave it on for a few minutes then scrub with a wheel brush, pressure wash off. RS's are staying put and staying original. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sexybourbon 0 Posted March 19, 2012 Looks snazzy under there chris i must do this to mine when i get chance ! Did you wax the arches once you wer done ? Also what was the make of that wax you do your plastics with my collonite turned them white lol wich i thought would happen !!

ChrisL 15 Posted March 20, 2012 hi Matt, I did put a quick coat of dodo Juice under there but just a token gesture really. I just use Collonite 915 (i think), its great on the black plastic and doesnt go white. Drop me a text and we'll sort something before Elsecar. Unfortunately most of my time is taken up with my daughters Swimming, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I teach swimming Thursday and often Galas on Sundays!!

ChrisL 15 Posted April 7, 2012 why...? Was having doubts about going with the weather looking a bit wet!! Are you going Monday then? Just washed ours ready, loathed to wax it as its forecast rain which will be nice ! Well, I'm definately going to Elsecar, no matter what the weather throws at us! So got some Blackhole last week and even though its set to be bad on Monday, I thought I would give the rado a good going over. Just a vacuum tomorrow and another layer of wax.

ChrisL 15 Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) Looks simply stunning, could you please confirm your current ride height and if its not too much trouble look at the angle of your wishbones, thanks Gareth Thanks Gareth, I'll double check the ride height and check out the wishbones (I'll try and get a picture). Excuse my stupidity but i guess you mean at the front??? Oh and by the way, the RS's are staying put...... Just been and checked, (measurements are from floor up through the wheel centre to the bottom of the arch) FRONT = 585mm & REAR 600mm. If you PM me your email address, I've took some pics of the bottom front arms. They look to slope slightly up to the wheel. this was looking great today the wheels are so well suited to it-super clean looks perfect Cheers m8! Nice to get comments like this. Yours is beautiful as well, I think you should get yourself another and have a standard and modified one. Edited April 9, 2012 by ChrisL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
