I used Flexi Prime for the windscreen cowling and used Bumper Black as the top coat and then used Satin black for the wipers and i also bought new wiper blade assemblies from autobarn.

Re: silverGPXs Ride
Tonight ill be redoing the front wheel arches with the same sealant as the rear and getting those clip in zipties to hold the loom up as its starting to sag and rub on the tyre.
On that note do u have the side guard for the gearbox side Dwayne and how much could you get me a full set of guardliners for?
And would u happen to have a stock steering wheel?

Re: silverGPXs Ride
Sorry, only just saw this. I certainly dont have any new ones at the moment. Can get left and right fronts though if you want. Dont have a stock steering wheel atm though. They all got taken before I worked out how to repair the horn.On that note do u have the side guard for the gearbox side Dwayne and how much could you get me a full set of guardliners for?

Re: silverGPXs Ride
Well only had time to get one arch done last night as I was extremely tired after work.
Takes a bit to get it clean!
So I cleaned it down with Kenco Shift it and cleaned up the surface rust with a wirewheel and painted it before applying the Textured Stone Guard.
I did right up to the top of the rail, the inside of the fender and down in front of the door as well. I have to go back and do a couple of edges I unfortunately missed in the dark..
Pics Below - First few are of the clean-up and paint. Then the stone guard. I took a video on my iPad of me spraying it which showed the brand of the spray, when I work out how to get the video off the iPad ill post it up..

Run it from inside the cabin attached to one of the aircon vents. Then just always have the aircon on. When u go street racing, turn it up hella coldsilverGPX wrote:Fitted fog lights into the bar, not sure where to run a cold air feed now?

Re: silverGPXs Ride
Cos I'm running no guardliner and its rusting sh*t, looks cleaner. And its rubber coating so sound deadens a little bit, hopefully less chance of being picked up for not running guardliners by the copsdestinationtoby wrote:Btw why are u painting the insides of your wheel arches?
