Re: My Blue GP

Aye yeah 6mm I think it is. Being reading the guide to do it, that's not bad. I'm only getting around 35 with decat maybe 38. What mpg on vxr?

Re: My Blue GP

Update: 13/06/15. Just dewipered the rear. Followed the guide on here by 1steamon1 which was brilliant! Took about 30 mins in total, wasn't particularly difficult and I'm please with the end result. Couldn't get hold of a 23mm grommet but 24mm seems to be okay. Next up is painting the calipers!

Re: My Blue GP

Looks good mate , clean and simple mod , good luck seeing out the back when it's dirty lol, and what colour are calipers going ?

Re: My Blue GP

Yeah I love it, haha I know I'm starting to wonder that. I try to keep it clean but can always stop and wipe it or use other mirrors lol. Gonna go for yellow calipers

Re: My Blue GP

Yellow will be cool mate, corsa ones are colour coded lol, and when I was out and about there was a wee valeting place and it was a fiver for wash and a chamois used to do that lol

Yeah yellow will be look good hopefully. I'm on with it now! Will upload pics when I've finished. Haha i wanted a big contrast between colour of the car and the calipers. Yeah tbf I used to do that but now I don't anymore just seems easier to do it myself and scared of them scratching my car ahahahaa

Re: My Blue GP

Yeah no one washes my car haha, just my old boss cos there really good at detailing and use good products, but mostly me that does it, and yeah calipers look good mate, doing the drums ?

Re: My Blue GP

Yeah if you know them it's alright but I don't mind doing it myself and don't really know any decent places where I am tbf. Thanks mate, done the drums black a while back haha, look miles better.
