Tony Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 The position of the car gives the impression of a prowler waiting to strike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Few more pics , updates well not many , fitted a pair of K&N filters and led sidelight bulbs , fitted the Blackvue and have been doing a lot of cleaning since a white car on these roads doesnt stay clean for long Oh changed the oil as well , from 10w40 to 0w40 , many people use the thinner stuff and it circulates better when cold and helps with economy Malcolm is still sending pics over as he gets around to it.

Tony Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 The pictures are stunning as is the cars detailing...... I love the plate as well "YAY" as if to suggest " i got it". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I was thinking about a plate for it , we bought CF09 RGF when we bought the superb thats the wife and my initials , meaningless to anyone else though When we bought the Fabia we added CF12RGF but that scuppers the zed unless i go for an older plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Dressing the car with personal plates does add a finishing touch no matter what p**s take some forums take...... I was SO, so lucky when i bought the Lotus because it came with J4 TBO..... A personal plate meaning Turbo but since my name is Tony Bones it gave me a wobbly head when people thought it was a personal plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liner33 Posted March 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Progress has been slow to non-existent recently what with the flooding, but went to a modding day with the Nissansportz club yesterday Finally fitted my GTR start button, got to borrow the latest maps for the sat nav and plasti-dipped the badges We were shoe horned in but it was a great day Met a guy with the same model as me and we plasti dipped his badges black. I did mine white but removed it pretty quickly , not sure about the black either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liner33 Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Gave it a good clean at the weekend trying out a new polisher i bought so tried a different polish as well Got a set of mudflaps arriving soon so will need to remove the wheels to fit them so they havent been done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Looking good, although white doesn't really show swirls anyway Not looking forward to doing mine, they're terrible!! What polisher did you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 The Nissan has very soft paint it is full of RDS but much better since polishing I bought a Rupes Big Foot , it has a bit more guts than my DAS-6 and managed to get some pretty severe scratches out .

Rich Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I've seen those, so you think the high price tag is justified then? You not using a rotary on this car then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 No always a DA, soft paint , no paint depth gauge and rotary worries me too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 It looks better than new...... I realize your passion because when i had the Esprit it had to look top dollar but it weighs heavy on the head keeping it that way, well it did for me anyway. Needless to say she and i assume it is a she looks stunning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthiban Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Lovely work, white is probably easier to hide swirls but after a detail the pearl must look fantastic in the sun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 No always a DA, soft paint , no paint depth gauge and rotary worries me too much I don't know if I could go back to the vibrations from a DA. I'll give it a go with the rotary and just use a finishing polish first, see how soft Honda paint really is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 The big foot is pretty smooth , I can't achieve the same effect with a rotary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parthiban Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 I was looking up this bigfoot thing and it has so many rave reviews as the best thing ever - even the miracle detail guy uses it and swears by it. I haven't caught the detailing bug so wouldn't invest so much money on a product I might not use very much but if I were to this seems like the one to get! As an example this is an amazing transformation! http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=293458 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
