i'm not bothering with a dyno run paying twice for a piece of paper ontop of the terraclean for me is unwarranted expense. unless someone local to me lets me dyno for free.

Going to at least wait till my mot in a few months so I can get a co2 read out as a bench mark, then get it done and take it back for a second reading, at least it would give me an idea if its done something.

I'm just over the 100k mark, and would like to see if it would clear 13 years of carbon out, and see if it gives back some of the mpg I've lost, and maybe guarantee the bhp is spot on.

This has been discussed a fair bit over on xkec, as they used an xk8 on wheeler dealers, and they used this process on that episode. I'm contemplating putting the xkr through it.

A zini ?

Just been on Tyre shopper, its the most expensive for 20's i've seen.

i went for 6500k when i swapped bulbs, idea being to whiten up the light, but not lose to much lighting

I have a real soft spot for the cayman, would love to have an S

i can;t put tent in mine as my wife has temporarily filled it with crap

if your painting, make sure to use a plastic primer, so it will flex with the plastic, if you don;t you'll get cracks. thin layers buitl up over time, laquering is an art form use you tube to watch some videos for practicing. an dget something else to practice on first.

maybe need to get out more

shouldn't do as its an enamel. if you ever did airfix as a kid you never had to clear coat over the top.

would love to drive the millie, saw the prog last year, and the thought of taking a classic round that would be awesome.

Is it one like this? Difficulty with that cover is it isn't all smooth. the textured bits around the nissan and V6 badge would look terrible dipped, so you would either need to mask them off or fill them before spraying; which would bring in a whole load of prep. You could do just the white bits, and mask the rest off, or do that in reverse do everything but the white bits in carbon, and then possibly introduce a differnet colour on the white, either to match the car, or introduce a new colour theme for the car. If it was me doing a pet project and not dipping it, i would remove the badges (to be refitted later) fill all the textured stuff in the middle. sand it smooth (including the rest of the cover as it has a plastic texture at a guess) paint the grey plastics a nice dark colour, either a nice metallic black or a black and colour/metallic mix and then paint the white bits a nice metallic theme colour. clear coat the lot, and then refit the badges.

usually buy from camskills, but last time round i got them from openeo, at the time they were the cheapest for the falken 452. it depends on the tyre, and the size to who is the cheapest.

regardless of the fact it doesn;t look like the real thing, i have to give it to the guy for his enginuity
