b4zz Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 looks like you done a great job on the clean up fella. once your megs nxt wax has run out get some ultimate wax the one in the black bottle as imo its much better then the nxt tech wax and should bring out the colour more how do you find the amorall shield wax on the wheels holds up? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catch Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 80 quid all in. Direct from the sellers own website. They are 100 from the same seller on eBay. I will take some pics of the cabling install and post them too. Will need to wait and see if a get a letter making me to pay import duty. Higgsy, any chance of a link to sellers website for the DRL's Oh and a link to the boot protector would be nice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgsy Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 All in the thread as catch lol. Crazythegod.com for the DRLs The link that I bought the boot liner on was in the op, however the listing looks like its expired now as it was 6 months ago. Was about 20 quid off eBay , there were a fair few around that price at the time if I remember. There are 2 different types depending on whether you have a spacesaver spare or full size so make sure you get the right one. Basically the same as this current listing http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=141168064684 Sent from my Zetec S using the FOC for Android app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higgsy Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 Fitted some denso iridium spark plugs today and also refitted my k&n panel filter. I and no issues with my NGK R's but fancied a set of the iridium's, not really driven it much yet but have noticed it starts in a split second now a lot quicker than before (even tho we are only talking a second or so) Sent from my Zetec S using the FOC for Android app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higgsy Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 Plugs were about 42 quid from eurocarparts. To do the drums Wire brush Small tin of smooth black Hammerite Rust killer (hammerite krust) but this step is not essential as Hammerite is a straight to rust formula.
