Default List of jobs to be done...

I have a few things that need doing Sooner rather than later)

1. Remove paint from door sills (done and it looks nice, still thinking about doing the waist finishers)
2. Fit new springs (lowerinig by 25mm, and because its cheaper than replacing the broken ones with oem ones)
3. New Wishbone
4. New pads and discs all round.
5. Refurb Alloys (if i hit another curb im going to retake my test.)
6. find the loose wire on the speakers (which keeps cutting the passenger side in and out)

what have you got planned for you Motor over the next few months?

Take bumper off,
Fit fan resistor, fit 2nd horn, replace intercooler rings.
Then refit bumper so that there is no gap at the top.

Then I've got some oem side skirts that need spraying and fitting.

i think the chrome sill trims look great on a zt..much better than painted.

post a picture up for comparison.

I did my waist finishers and am really pleased with the results but mixed feelings with other members on here, I think I may do door sills next. Garyst1.JPG

I just used Hammerite Silver Smooth, seems ok to me, however, it is missing the sparkle of chrome.
