Engine mods starting with K&N soon, cheers 3Corsameal. Would love to XE her but I'm saving to replace my other VX, a Vectra GSi, with a C20LET'd one in the summer so keeping it cheap for now. | |

i've done Rus's and Rob B's both fine with a caramel wheel, is easiest and best way but use it slowly and keep the paint cool or you'll burn it like it did mine | |

use a rubber/toffee wheel, goes into a drill, if you've got any mates that work in a body shop they'll know wot i'm on about. You'll get it all off in about 10mins with this but don't stay in the same place for to long or you'll burn the paint. Then just a quick polish, job done. | |
