The Z3 Bug!

The problem is that I have 3 weeks in Vietnam beforehand, the whole trip I'll be thinking, can't bloody wait until the lakes cruise :D
You best not even dream that mate, could be in a spot of bother =))
 
Thought I'd have a go at polishing up the headlights. Not particularly milky but more pitted.

Good lighting and a stool

Pretty straight forward

1. A couple of passes with a P800 disc followed by a P1500 disc
2. P3000 disc then P2000 disc keeping both discs and headlights wet.
3. A couple of passes with the polishing pad, clean and job done.

Lots of masking up as you get polish splatter! Took 20 mines to get all the white freckles out of the engine bay after the first headlight :arghh: The man from AG didn't mention that on his YouTube vid :mad:

Lesson learnt for the second light.

First light finished.

Is Vietnam still open ?
It's getting difficult Paul, they have withdrawn the 14 day visa to all countrys affected with covid19, I am currently applying for a 30 day one as we are going for 26 days

Well done pal looks great
 
No sport on today and it's raining so off to the garage to fit my new bonnet sound deadening, bit of a fail and haven't fitted yet :whistle: took off the old one and thought 'that bonnet could do with a clean' :D

Nearly there, a few bits to do, polish, wax and fit the new part. Oh, and do the bonnet latches.
