Not very technical I'm afraid but basically bilberry wheel cleaner to agitate dirt then wiped / washed off with old microfibre I then just sprayed my tyre dressing all over and again microfibre to dry

Easy peasy

Nice work mate, did the kenwood come with the surround etc? I like how it keeps the oem look.

Original surround fits perfect only ... Everything I needed for a stereo does everything I need ... And got a "fairly" good price off the bay :)

Trying to save money but I can't help myself I keep finding things ahhhh

I'm exactly the same you should see my ebay watch list!! I've just had a fairly good pay rise and my first thoughts were CAR PARTS! But I need to hold back for a while after a few things I fancy.

So I brought a 3" downpipe off ebay it comes with a reducer to 61 mm

Great only thing is my car has a aftermarket cat back ... I have measured it and it's 72mm ...... There is already a 61 to 72 reducer on the car now ...

I need to cut the reducer of the the down pipe and fit a 76mm to 72 mm

Any ideas please help
