Bollixed!! Spent a good part of today doing the rear bumper and MR2 centre panel (in between lights)

I'll leave it for today for going through pics...but like all other panels on the car. It wasn't in the best of nick.

On the homerun now, not too long much left before its finished. Noticing a few bits here and there I will have to go back over.

[eringobragh]

Just the sides left to do as the difficult part the the rest should be easy...engine cover and sides have some heavy clearcoar scratchings. Probably have to revisit
parts here and there but delighted with the difference..my mate asked did I get the bumper sprayed!

Panels clayed and DA'ed with Menzerna PF2500 PO203S

Enjoy

I've been banned from detailing today! I got a quick wash in - just chucked a bit of demon shine on this time round..I parked it under a tree and it was covered in sap yesterday!

Nilfisk C110 Hose - seemed to be battered after 2 uses - reading on the net its a common issue and costs £22 GBP to replace (entire washer was £55!) ..so I got a garden hose and slit it one side and covered the hose in insulation tape..job done!



Very quick Wash of car!..



Followed by the TBar glass out and a trip up to the Sally Gap...glorious day for it.
















hope to get a small bit done tomorrow

Hope your mystery passenger appreciated all the work you have put into the car.

What's your plan for the alloys? Refurb them yourself or get them done professionally?

Oh she does...

Im on the fence on the alloys...depends on how much it costs to do.

Not making excuses ...but I didn't get in until 5:30am this morning (and very merry)! Had planned on doing bottom half of passenger side today but the noise of the DA just wasn't making the hangover go away! So in the end only a tiny piece done....with the longer nights I should get this boxed off end of month.

great work!!

Wow, big improvement. I think the carbon fibre wrap looks great too btw.


If you want to get rid of the stone chips on the front bumper, here's a guide from DW which I came across recently:

This was the reason I initially bought the DA and sorted the car...the really bad engine bay scratching. Had to take the 2 panels out but didn't get to the engine cover yet!

Cheer man: Nearly done on correction

* Mirrors
* A Pillar
* Middle back panel(beside window brake light) missed this a few months back
* Remove Spoiler and correct
* Do boot under spoiler that was missed
* Bottom Half Drivers side

With the exception of one of 2 of those things above only small things left now.
