I tried to take the arch liner out but because ive got the mud flaps it was proving difficult.lol all i did was moved the indicstor wire out the way and stuck a big flat head screw driver in the hole, against the bracket for the carbon canister and wacked it a few times. Lmao indicator went straight in but not a 100% flush to the wing. I will have to give it a few more wacks. Haha

One wheel painted but not laquered yet. The person doing it had a problem with the compressor or id imagine they would be finished by now. Should all be done by the weekend then i can get them on. Heres the pic i have in not very good light to show the colour

If all goes to plan i will be picking my freshly refurbed wheels tommorow. New center caps for them too,to make them look completly fresh. Next plan is to have paintless dent removal done to get rid of all the car park dings, then a full valet to sort the paint out and a good old shampoo inside to get it looking/smelling like new.

Yeah will do. My mate didnt have his skoda done in the end they let him down. Wont be using them then.lol The lads down at the unit opposite TM autoparts said they can do the machine polishing and waxing for £50. Might let them do that or find someone who will do the whole car inside and out for a decent price.

Erm i have to get them balanced up and unfortunatly there aint anywhere i can get them done till monday. So more than likely monday mid day ish.lol Paul how on earth do you work with paint and laquer all the time. Me and the missus are high and have head aches by the time we got home. The wheels are all tucked up in my gf's sons room for the weekend while hes at his dads so there nice and warm and dry so the paint will be alot harder by monday lunch time.
