  1. To avoid doubt I'm going to speak with Brembo as it appears they provide a polished set for the Masserati's Machine and hand polish, eh voila!
  2. A tenner, with that amount of surface you're at least looking at £20 and a pint! GEARBOX! but you can't see it?? Price will depend on how many hours or days it takes I guess. I'll be taking them apart over the next week or so to have them sand blasted, in fact that should shorten the process considerably, might even be ready for Christmas.
  3. You could always drive up to Birmingham stay the weekend for a 2 day correction and detail. Looks nice and living the colour as always
  4. I could see a potential scrabble for when these are done.
  5. I think I'd need a giant polishing wheel and a truck load of compound. Can't see why it couldn't be done, but then your bumpers and pillars etc are plastic. Best go with a chrome wrap. They won't be for sale until next year, because there seems to be 4 layers of coating, lacquer, primary colour, base coat and a further base under that. Some serious volume of paint! I hope they will look the nuts when done. Thinking maybe black red or blue Brembo overlay stickers. Edit - or PURPLE!
  6. You lot crack me up, polish a turd although saying that I may just give that crap a polish The sealing of the caliper to protect it will be high temp lacquer, exactly that which appears on our calipers. If you're interested I could bring my polishing gear for your bonce Smudge, if you need your car polishing have a chat with Pristine Detailing I'm really hoping they will look epic and one of a kind, my inspiration was something like below. Updates will follow as they happen
  7. Okay so you know I love polishing things..... Well.... I've decided to go for a one off Polished Brembo Project. These will 'eventually' be totally polished and sealed. So I thought I'd make a quick start this morning, sanded and brought back up with compounds. The finish is only a quick test to make sure I can get te desired effect, which once I get them stripped I'll give them the greatest of attention. Here's a couple of starting pics. To note these will be done over the next 3 months, with a view to vein sold once they are polished. I'll update as progress ensues.
  8. Polishing tools Tom A mix of mini and large polishing mops and a range of compounds. Used via a drill and the bench polisher. Each one takes about 2 hours!! So from that update picks below. 7 down and 9 to go
  9. Interesting they are very similar to the Mission, I've ha my mission speaker 15+ years they're flipping great. Need a new AV Amp now though, running Yamaha Natural sound. Always wanted to listen more to the Cambridge.
  10. Nice Dave, but looks like you need a bigger tank now I don't think you answered a question I posted previously. In one of the pics you can see your speakers, Mission by any chance?
  11. Lights will still come on with low battery, but with 8v sounds like the battery has had it!
  12. Erm doesn't everyone write one handed.... That's some skill to write with two hands
  13. That's annoying! Please don't say the polishing word.... I'm a bit polished out this week!
  14. They just didn't attend class that's the issue So we're they actually scratched or just swirled to hell?
  15. Look very good - just like oem but better!
  16. Ekona I agree with what you say about status of vehicle, and yes a Lambo, Fez or Porka would all provide a better presence. Although the GTR isn't in that market, it's designed to be outrageously sophisticated with technology to boot. It wasn't designed as far I can see to be a "sexy" car, because if they did, they failed miserably!! It's like the R8, it's not a super car and its not a GTR, filling a gap in the market. If all cars were like lambo's etc we would all be called Trevor! I like the GTR for what it is and what it does, on he flip side the same with a fez.
  17. I dont think Galardo are under £35k? Oh yeah, maybe I was dreaming and hoping. Just the ultima then Got me excited about them then I check the price and slumped again. Ultimas are amazing no doubt but is it just me. They are a bit ugly. I wouldn't say they're ugly, just different. I saw one at the Ring a couple of years ago and fell in love. Jez has one as a project for himself but its been under wraps for a long while. Maybe he might let it go cheap. Ha ha the lambo price I would have would be at £35k but sadly no, they have fluctuated in price that's for sure. Could have sworn I saw one or two in the £40k region not so long ago. Ekona, GTR's aren't that bad, they may not be the best looking design but I'm sure if one was parked in your drive you wouldn't hesitate to drive it and see what they're all about. They're actually very well put together inside, and you wouldn't know you've got a wealth of power till you hit the loud pedal.
  18. I dont think Galardo are under £35k? Oh yeah, maybe I was dreaming and hoping. Just the ultima then
  19. None of the above although the GTR would tickle my fancy, but I'd opt for an early Galardo, or an Ultima.
  20. Cheers gents Yes Danny yours and mine is in there, not sure who the others are for Okay further update..... Polishing!! (Surprise surprise) Herewith a selection of before and after photos. The finish is coming up REAL NICE (2 down 14 to go till they need to be finished Sunday night - and yes I've just got in from 3.5 hours polishing these darn things) And yes that can is my reward for this evening Nice spacers eh, they've come up super nice.
  21. Click on his avatar and you'll ed up in his profile. Them top right'ish you can then press send message.
  22. I thought all new batteries are sealed units??? Also I believe all fuel tanks are plastics so sediments are far and few between as far as I belive. Seat Belt!! Top tip saves your life!! Don't buy a Corsa and rice it out!!!
  23. That's what I found, I'm guessing the same adjustment 'should' be found for the bi-xenons?
  24. I was actually reading up on the adjusting from inside the bay with what I believe to be a 8"screw driver? I was going to do it but if its ore face lift its wheel arch liner bending time. What will it take each side five mins.
