    What have you done to your 8V today?

    DIY. No cost other than a wee half hr. My curb mark was slightly larger and using some wet and dry, scotchbrite and autosol increase the radius on the edge enough as remove damage and re-apply lacquer. Try this before shelling out any cash. Extremely difficult to find on my wheel.

    Curbed my wheel and diamond cut refurbishing

    Sorry bud, but to match you will either have to polish entire lip like for like and re-coat else diamond cut / re-machine the wheel if depth allows. If you strip the coating back there will be a difference as you see between the machined surface and repaired / polished defect. Look closely and...

    Curbed my wheel and diamond cut refurbishing

    Did you not want a skim cut or was the defect too deep? hence the polish. Why not polish the whole outer lip on a lathe and re-finish.

    New 4 tyre set S3 8V

    I have 4 pirelli p zereo's R02 SC's waiting to go on but for me the best tyre covering all aspects, handling, wear, grip, noise and price has to be the Goodyear Asymmetric 3. I just fancied a wee change and strangely liked the look of the large rim protector on the R02 SC. Check camskill for...

    Powder coated exhaust tips

    Powder coated exhaust tips

    My decision was based on a new look and whether I wanted them black or filthy looking black.

    Powder coated exhaust tips

    Will try and get some more pics up tomorrow from the rear. No doubting your efforts but honestly give them a hit either side alternating hits and you will hear them slipping along and then just pull off.
