What did you do to your x40 today thread.

[JUDGENINJA]

Maybe... Those are WheelMania racing wheels. They don't make them anymore, so might be worth a refurb.

[pete-s40]

Havent used contis before so looking forward to seeing what theyre like.

Really suit the car those kieran, i like um

Wanted some 5 spokes for mine but have ended up with 8 spokers, need to decide what colour to do them.... thinking anthracite or silver, cars red.

[S40kieran]

I looked everywhere for 5 spokes nothing lol so I bought the multi's yeah they do look good what colour is youres Pete.

Cars red and the alloys i bought are black, thinking either anthracite or silver. Maybe a metalic gunmetal of some sort.

[S40kieran]

White looks really good with red mate

[JUDGENINJA]

White like these ones:

[S40kieran]

Yea judge or like this red civic with white alloys

Grey and red colour cars look good with white wheels only downside I had them on my rover swine too keep white lol

[S40kieran]

I wanted to do something like this to mine but in monster style might be a bit loud though lol
I might buy another s40 some point and do it to that instead lol without the spoiler though because it looks daft

[JUDGENINJA]

If you're gonna do BTCC, you've got to go full BTCC...

[pete-s40]

[JUDGENINJA]

Started the laborious task of machine polishing my T4. Did the bonnet and the results are fantastic!


Comparison pic. Bye bye swirls!

[Orca2]

Oohh shiny I likes shiny.. Does it have a lacquer coat? I fancy doing my two but I am a bit worried that I might wreck the lacquer coat, what do you use , isit G3?

[mitchyboy01]

Hi Orca thanks.

Yeah it has lacquer. You only need to take the swirls out so unless you're silly and try to polish out a huge deep scratch you won't go through to the colour coat.

I use a Silverstorm rotary polisher.

I use Megs 105 on an orange Hexlogic pad for the first 2 passes (gets rid of heavy swirls) then Megs 205 on a white Hexlogic pad for the finer polishing. Then I put 2 coats of bilt hamber wax and 2 coats of Zaino show shine sealant which seals the wax in for 6 months.

[Orca2]

Thanks for the info Mitchy, I will try it on a discreet patch first as they say. Tbh the paintwork on the V70's nose cant really be ruined even by me, its done 185k mostlly on motorways , stone chipsville Arizona, but I would like to get all the swirl marks out , bleedin Polak car wash dudes farked uo the C70's paintwork good an proper, Mrs Orca keeps sneaking off there when I'm not looking.
I think shes having it off with one of the swarthy devils.. Lmao.

You need to show that girl some discipline lol

Once mine is machine polished it won't be seeing any Polak carwashes or even a sponge! I don't want any more swirls as each time it's machine polished the paint gets thinner. My bonnet is very stone chipped but I'm doing the best with what I have atm and thankfully it's looking a lot better!

[S40kieran]

I washed mine today well I paid someone else to do it lol, I got all the winter muck and fine film off it I almost forgot what it was like having a clean car . Ordered some aftermarket pedal covers road legal ones as mine are fubard and I have a mot comming up. @mitchy boy looking shiney mate
