ahahah dude man im still a beginner! lol theres still some imperfections on the guards but its not that noticeable lol. Its mainly on the sides because i cbf taking the guards, bumper and all that out lol. Overall its a BIG improvement from before. Before was like a finished product with lots and lots of orange peel.
Thanks for that, will be getting a buffing machine soon. Did you clear coat it and sand it at all?Quote:

Fuuuuuuuuuuu
3rd time, take the plate off, redo everything properly, start it up and leaks more FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK KKKKK.................
Shattered!!! first time was spot on, maybe because i didnt fit the o-ring one the sandwich plate properly??? ill have to recheck 2morrw... fukkn drainer!
I drove around yesterday..have yet to check again to see if it stayed in there or fell out. I put half my arm inside the taillight area just to try and feel it, felt nothing! It was like it disappeared into thin air..Quote:

Put on an EK9 Rear Lip
Kinda fixed the squeeking noise coming from the rear suspensions (not blown shocks btw don't exactly know the problem, could be from bushes) and dropped the front a little abit more. And now scraping on the almost every driveway, may have to get type r lip now.

Left was before, right was after. Was stupid, but i really wanted to see the result, so i skipped to the 3m half way. Ended up resanding it all so the finish was even. Haha

Can even see your reflection in it now! (right at the top of the visor in the pic of right side, can see some reflection) Reflection isn't clear, but its there :P
Thanks man.Quote:

DIY mattsrea!
Inb4 chopped tyres.
my mate did the exact same thing to his coupe 2day with the exact same type of wheel and has the exact same problem, lol
nooo i have no idea how to do it properly and i don't want any paint chips sadly ): Found some guys on firesport and theres one guy that does it for 30 a corner but sounds too good to be true since DT Panels does it for 70.Quote:

Guards were rolled and now just a slight touch of scrubbing.. nothing affecting driveability though

End specs are 16x7 +17 with a 205 45 16 Toyo Proxes 4's which have thick sidewalls.
I'll upload proper picture of the fitment on sunday.
20mm?
Take a side shot Matt. :p
How low are you? 1 finger gap by the looks of it?
Will take one tomorrow. Um none at front and 1 on rear (or maybe 2 gotta double check). Everytime i get onto driveway all i hear is the tyres screeeching onto my guards ><" Luckily i have that rubber thing that sits on the guards...Quote:
