Non RS-BlackTwingo-i Progress

[BlackTwingo-i]

Haha will give a few ways a go, the main difficulty is glueing, it needs to stick tough so it pulls tight around the curves, but cant dry too quick like contact adhesive so it has workabilty! Right ball ache, since ive started i have to finish, otherwise i will hate the entire car! Cheers for the help

 

[maggi200]

I can imagine the material doesn't help though

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

Yeah its just couch leather, not bad for practice.. Hopeing if i get it spot on to get the real deal! Over £50 for a large piece though

 

[maggi200]

Good luck! :lol:

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

Getting abit in over my head! Im sure my patience will help!

Might just give in and get edge automotive to

[BlackTwingo-i]

[BlackTwingo-i]

Although hes started being ignorant again.. Days between replies!

 

[Mike_Robo]

ooo im intrigued! what is this sexy update of which you speak?..

 

[manofhow]

furry dice?

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

I actually just cut the furry dice off the back of the car.. They looked like a soggy grey scrotum

 

[JMR]

Like the pedals Mike, how much did they set you back again?

Lol at the soggy scrotum. :lol:
:shock:

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

Haha they were grim!

The Pedals was a tough £52ish to part with, from smc online with 20% discount and delivery..

Happy i got them though, couldnt have one without the other!
(Footrest / power pedals)

 

[JMR]

Finish the footwell off nicely.

Not a bargain at £52 but eh, looks like another good upgrade.

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

I knoww, abit expensive.. Im normally a cheapskate haha

But thought ide treat myself cause i had a little but of cash from doing abit of work with my mate on a weekend

 

[JMR]

Kerching - good stuff fella

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

After the next twingo treat money needs to be saved for holiday at nd of november
Then im focusing on getting the paint fixed next year, got a bad scuff at front left, and need my passenger sill-rear lower quarter respraying!!

£250 for both :/ bolockssss

 

[JMR]

I'd help you out with a detailing mate if you're ever around Nottm/Lincs

Black is a swine when its swirly.
Once properly detailed though, to a mirror gloss, just a matter of good wash routine.
I did the mrs's black Mitsubishi a couple of years ago and it only got properly machine polished once.
The following 18 months it just looked like new after every wash.

I've got PC dual action and 3M rotary over here.

 

[JMR]

Cant paint though lol

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

Ive got a machine polisher but its the paint..
The scuff at the fromt is down to the plastic!

And the side is my own fault
To confess, i tried to respray a small scratch down the sill with halforda paint..

Im so stupid! It was months ago, called it a learning curve, get paint stuff done professionally!
