Love that colour! Looks like your efforts paid off

How do you find the swirl remover? Thinking of giving it a go on the XT...

Haha fisheye shot looks funny

[bd-850]

it worked, but i think i need to use the stronger stuff, all i used was the Swirl X, maybe nextime i will get the Ultimate Compond, but PolyGlaze polish works well aswell. its just that Polyglaze is hard to buy here.

nice job with the clean mate. i've been thinking of doing a full detail to my foz when i can be bothered. how long did it take to do that treatment?

[bd-850]

about 5 hours,

but i didnt do the wheels.

i also Leather Cleaned and Conditioned the seats and cleaned the dash and etc.

it was my first time using the Clay Bar so i wasnt sure if i did it right because the bar wasnt getting that dirt, till i got to the wing. so i dont the roof and bonnet twice.

and i also Black Plastic Polished the Grill, Fog lights, and engine cover and the like, mirrors (not the painted section dahh) and the wthe wipers and that plastic channel.


im thinking of tinting the tail lights to darken it up abit

If you are going to do that, just get a JDM garnish and lights.

nothing been happening part from driving it (and going alittle off road unplanned )
bought some Liberty 3.0B Wheels, just waiting for my brother to pick them up, then i will get them repaired and powder coated, thinking Gun Metal

[aekOne]

[Rustyrobertson]

lol the fish eye kinda made it look like gen 4 at a quick glance looks great tho nice clean b4 you have there mate

[bd-850]

these are the wheels i picked up for $250, few gutter marks, but im getting them sandblasted, fixed, then Powder coated in Black Onyx, then get them wrapped in Nitto Invo tyres.

[Adam]

Look forward to seeing these in a different colour!

[bd-850]

so do i

i havent seen any pics of another gen3 with these wheels, its always the 5 spoke rims.

i havent actually seen the colour, my dad picked it, i wanted it close to the ROTA Black (with a bronze like pearl) but dad thinks it looks good and we have similar tastes.

depending how it looks i might end up painting the brakes gold

[Adam]

ams had a b4 with these wheels.

I have/had them on my gen2

[bd-850]

ahhh yes yes, just looked him up, looks good, will look better on mine

[bd-850]

i threw this on today


and this came in the mail

[bd-850]

excuse the crappy phone pics







my dad picked these up today from being Powder coated in Black Onyx, i will get some better pics on the weekend when i pick them up, just need some tyres now oh and center caps

[Adam]

Nice one!

[bd-850]

250 for the wheels and 200 for the powdercoating, so cant complain. and atleast these rims will fit without scrubbing on every bump.

[Adam]

250 is damn cheap for those wheels! They want 165ea on eBay for brand new ones!
