Official too lazy to search, noob friendly thread.

Okay, so 3M in the "1080 Film Series" have Gloss Ivory, Gloss White, Gloss White Aluminium.
Scotia white is pretty white and non-metallic. So may just go with Gloss White....
 
Sort of but not really. Need to put these rear flares on, but they're not stock but wider ones which made of a much thinner fibreglass with no metal backing / skeleton.
They're currently a raw Black colour. Can either sand / prep / paint. But as they're so thin I'd hazard a guess that as soon as it flexes the paint may crack. Yes it may be a better colour match.

However vinyl wrap would not crack, but may not colour match as well. Also vinyl wrap is easier (for me) to DIY.

Hence my reasoning logic. Have put feelers out for the gloss white, and matte orange. May do one spoke of rims in matte orange (like the yellow patch on TE37SL Black)
 
Does a coupe/mirage DASH fit in a sedan? for some reason i always thought no but ..... Can someone confirm please.
 
Can you resolder the Ariel cable in the car, even though is coaxial? Mine has been sheered off.

Are CE Wagon doors similar to CE/CC Sedan doors? If so, will sedan weathershields fit them?

Nope, door trims are same. but not the doors themselves.

What can go wrong if you clean your engine bay incorrectly?

Not toooooo much, depending on how badly you do it. Just dont deliberately wet the intake, or the alternator and you'll be perfectly fine.

I do it as follows usually:
1) plastic bag over the distributor
2) spray degreaser everywhere, avoiding the injector tops, the intake opening, and the alternator
3) soak for a few minutes
4) start up car
5) spray off with light to medium pressure, avoiding the above listed places. I start the car to not only let it dry off the water once its clean, but to sorta prevent it from "going bad"
 
also make sure engine has cooled down a bit (ie: dont clean it right after a long drive)
pop the hood and let it cool for an hour or 2 in the shade before commencing

Okay, seen a lot of talk about struts. What the heck are they, and what do they do?


struts=shocks as far as im concerned.

Springs are what stops the car jarring when you hit a bump.
Just springs alone will cause the car to bounce or rock back and forth for a very very long time.

Struts dampen this, in the same way that thing on top of a door stops its slamming (like fire doors).

Strut towers are the location (generally the top?) of where the struts go.
Ah so Struts are recommended? My car bounces like a mother ****..

Unless Somebody has been telling him about strut BRACES ?? In witch case no they will not help shock bounce

You can get connectors, if it is sheered in a tight place the buy some more cut it back more where its open and re run
