Must be getting more popular aye? Thats good to know.

FYI I only used it on my wheels as the were rough as guts with chips and scrapes and I couldnt be bothered prep'ing them for paint.

I used the black on the wheels on my old car. Lasted pretty well on a daily driver.

Would not recommend if you ever go on gravel and you have to be really carefull with cleaning.

Takes a bit of effort to clear brake dust as you cant scrub with a brush.

Also, not sure if its still the same but Griffin were the only importers/distributors in the country and they only ever wanted to bring in the basic colours.

Was never able to get any of the clear coats or special colours. Just black, blue, yellow and red.

It's also $40+ per can.

No interest at all?

Probably one of the lower rates available. Other than using your bank.

Make an offer.

Looks really nice. Would love to own something like that.

For sale on trademe yeah?

This is a different one to the one that was discussed here

Ah yes it was a different one. This one was brought up in that thread though I see.

Knew I had seen it somewhere.

Isnt there already a thread about that? Or is piss yellow more common than I though

Yeah definately looks like a commy.

Due to a change in circumstances, I will be selling my car in the near future.

As I don't believe they add any value to the car itself I am keen for EOI on the plates.

They are manufactured and on the car at the moment but are in good condition.

I have a figure in mind but unsure how reaslistic it is so throw me some offers to consider.

Most people hand the same opinion as you. The media post these stories to Stir sh*t.

Fyi, autosol works just as good as anything else I've used. Skit cheaper too.

Not at this stage. I quite like the two tone. Think the black compliments the Mojave nicely.

I've got a mate that worked for a wreckers and they always used the cheese wire method.

Something you should keep in mind is that you dont want to damage the roof line where the window mates to it.

I had a LS400 that had had a new window put in and they had damaged the paint when they removed the original window.

Subsequently the roof started to rust.

Just a revision of my list of things to do. (in no particular order)

1. Fix the rear high stop light

2. Fix the rear blind motor

3. Fix the air con

4. Fix intermittent locking issue

5. Muffler delete and install tips

6. Remove the tow bar

7. Lower it

8. Wheels

9. Pull the intake off, replace valley pan, replace knock sensor's and PCV

10. Replace Chain tensioner

11. Front EZ lip

11. Rear boot or roof spoiler

12. Fix the radio reception

So other than other than the bolt covers on the engine cover and the lid for the jump start terminal, she's back together.

Still in need of a good detailing, but she looks alot cleaner.

Also attacked the interior with some leather cleaner and then use some moisturizing protector spray.

Came up pretty mint. Especially in the rear. The leather has been well looked after for most part of its life.

The photo's don't really show the colour but it has a purple tint to it. Kind of an interesting colour which I wasn't overly thrilled with at the start but its grown on me and I feel it goes really well with the other colours around the car.

BTW, please excuse the random black dots in all the photo's. I'm using my Experia Z and apparently its a common fault. Will be sending it back at some stage.

Saw a nice dark blue 3 series heading out up wairere drive in htown about 15 minites ago.

Had some of the german plates wtih the black fern on.

Have you researched the 'e38 shimmy' issue?

Butcher by trade haha.

Seriously.

Why's that? bad luck?

Thanks for that.

She's back together and running now after a fair few drama's.

After getting a new bung, the overflow nipple snapped off.

Replaced that with a new one and filled her up to find a leak in the radiator

Replaced that and found that the overflow also had a leak.

Sorted that and detected a hiss from the radiator cap. Let it sit over night so I could top up the coolant in case there was an air pocket.

Topped her off and drove to work and found that it had leaked out the cap.

Replaced the cap today and finally its all sweet.

Will give the bay a bit more of a tidy up and take some photos over the next day or two.

Managed to get one from Inghams today. They had a couple in stock.

He knew exactly the part I meant when I said I had a BMW.

For anyone who needs one of these and isnt in Hamilton, here's a couple of different part numbers

Breather screw/valve

Merc -A0005000894

Behr -8MY376743321

This is not encouraging.

Sorry, for some reason I was thinking there was one in the city centre too.

Thanks for that.
