Got my AP Coilovers on and gave her a bath! Handles so much better now :D







How did you go about fitting your coilovers? I have been struggling with mine and a light bulb just appeared above my head now thinking about it.
Any help mate?

I'm hoping mine turn out like that when I attempt mine! Did you remove them or do them in place?

No the guy masked the bodywork around the lights, wet sanded etc etc

Oh yeah I just noticed the masking tape! Did he use a kit or anything?

z00bz

He used wet and dry sand paper, and then machine polish with some product beginning with Ev (lol blue tall plastic bottle) sorry can't remember, then final polish over with G3 cutting compound from what I can remember

Need to seal the lenses with wax regularly or get them laquered or else they will cloud up again with time.

This stuff is highly recommended for sealing afterwards: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Surface-Sealant-Glass-Inhibitor-Repellent/dp/B00A3S1RGU/
