[quote][i]Originally posted by nibnob21[/i] Finally got round to trying to get rid of the stains on the tops of both front wings last week. Got some rubbing compound and got to work. It's definitely improved it but not got rid of them completely. I polished and applied around 3 coats of wax afterwards so hopefully that'll go some way to preventing it from coming back. Some before and afters: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0306.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0308.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0307.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0309.jpg[/IMG] Now I thought I'd take a risk and try some new wing mirrors as one old one was seized and the other too loose. I'm not a fan of chrome and think any use of it should be taken with extreme caution, but I thought I'd test it anyway...

Unlike chrome, I do like brushed metal parts and I thought an instrument cluster surround would fit in with the vintage oem direction I seem to be taking the car in. Unfortunately I got sent the wrong type from JassPerformance (I wanted the [URL="http://shop.jassperformance.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=59_67_60&product_id=66"]engraved Roadster type[/URL]) but this is being rectified with no hassle. Thought I'd see what the plain ones look like for the sake of it though. Everything removed: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0313.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0314.jpg[/IMG] Cover and needles removed: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0315.jpg[/IMG] Cover soaking in boiling water to soften the plastic welds: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0316.jpg[/IMG] Plenty of patience and gentle persuasion with a stanley knife later and it's separated: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0317.jpg[/IMG] Nice brushed finish: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0318.jpg[/IMG] And back in the car: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0319.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0320.jpg[/IMG] Looks good I think, really looking forward to getting the engraved ones fitted now :) Finally for today I took a scouring pad to my dirty and scuffed up teardrop speaker covers and the sill plates: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0321.jpg[/IMG] Before: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0322.jpg[/IMG] Left one not done, right one done: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0323.jpg[/IMG] Both done: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0324.jpg[/IMG] Before: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0325.jpg[/IMG] Neither done: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0326.jpg[/IMG] Both done: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0327.jpg[/IMG] Nice brushed finish :): [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0328.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0329.jpg[/IMG] Just to finish I went over them with some white spirit then wiped with a microfibre so they're nice and clean.
