Picked up my BBS LM from the refinishers today. Had them do a mild refurb on them to make them look a little sharper and more glossy. Not the best photos in the world, but I am pretty happy with them. They managed to match the shade of silver very well to the original.

 

 

 

For 6 injectors including new o-rings, a certificate and return postage.

 

That's good. I was quoted about 3 times that to do mine when I asked a few months back.

Much better!

Looking good Si....:bow:

Kerbed my front near side wheel :cursing::cursing::cursing: I must have these alloys for three years now and I have kept them as new so this is a big disappointment.Out with the wet and dry to see if I can polish the scraped lip up.

Gutted for you Gary.

 

Hope the wet and dry works out.

 

That's one nice photo Joel.

Its not to bad to be honest so it should clean up ok.

Still working on my Z.... But now have broken exhaust stud temporarily replaced with a high tensile bolt, starter on, test pipes fitted up....

Going for full exhaust fitting and testing later, possibly tomorrow......

Today, I thought I'd have a go at dying my shagpile mats black. After a couple months of unsuccessfully searching for some good condition shags in dark grey, I decided to dye the ones I have in an attempt to improve the look of the interior.

 

Here's the before (taken right after a good wash) :

As you can see they are the lighter grey kind and to me too light for my liking.

 

I read somewhere that someone had successfully dyed their car mats using Dylon fabric dye that you add to your washing machine....

 

Well as my mats were already grey, adding a black dye can do one of only 2 things... 1. Turn them black, or 2. Turn them a darker shade of grey. Either way I think I'd be happier with them.

 

So I buy the dye, read the packet, then learn that a whole pack of Dylon black dye will successfully transform 1kg of fabric from white, to black. Now as I already stated, a darker shade of grey and I'd be happy so decided to whack both mats in at once even though it weighs considerably more than 1kg.

 

So, 2 hours in the machine on a 40 degree cycle, then a 45 minute rinse to clear excess dye from the mats, and here's the result!:
