Extreme Hoover Sesh

StripedBennett · 15-03-2011

Well due to the typical scottish weather i took time to finally gut out the car..firstly finding a garage to fit the supprisingly large GP into...

Then decide the seats were faar to big so out they came and the interior was cleaned, hoovered and blackened.

Such a good feeling having a clean interior again

Next step.....exterior polishing....when the weather improves

was a bit extreme of a clean but always good to do

ive negelcted the bravo so much its unreal as just dont really like the car anymore

i was the same, was embarressed to give people lifts places and the missus kept on putting down subtle hints.
plus the beeping from the seat belt warning sensor has been silenced muhahaha

mucho respect for that! The cinq could really do with that level of interior clean, but would likely start snapping off bolt heads :lol:

What did you blacken? Have very rarely seen inside a GP to know the difference

Something am planning to do on the cappo

Not to clean but to make sure everything is solid under the carpets

Just blackened all the trim so it looked showroom again. such a good thing to do specially as theres so much cheap trim on the thing. and talking about snapping off bolts, i ended up rounding one of the bolts putting it back in, for some reason was very difficult to put back in. ironically it was the passenger side, and usually the passenger weighs the best part of 19stone.....

So if anyone has a good way of getting a rounded bolt out please advice.

use a hacksaw or grinder and give it edges again or straight down the middle and uses a screw driver or bring it down to me as im on holiday and ill get it out for ya

StripedBennett · 15-03-2011

sound i might have to do that, its a torx bolt so basically its a screw but in bolt size. very annoying

imported_abyss113 · 16-03-2011

ah torx bolts the joys

try if you can use a set of mole clamps i have both flat and curved up at the garage if you cant get hold of them as they may get it out with minimun fuss

Yup, i'd use the same. I had similar problem with one of the cam cover on my 899 before.
