Just a little update was machine polishing the side skirts tiny amount of pressure looked down to see the side skirt clips on floor in pieces

crappy ford clips

So straight on to stu @MSD and voila complete set of metal side skirt clips so going to replace the lot

A quick pic of the kit must say super fast service from MSD and clips look superb!!

Thats a stunner op

Good to see 3M gear getting the recognition it deserves, when used correctly with the right knowledge its simply the best gear for the job imop.

Did You use the 3m black finesse pads and their Glaze op?

either way thats a lovely job, not a glazed overkill just beautifully clean, really lets the colour of the paint show through rather than just being an overly glazed laquer finish.

I Love this motor

Thanks for the great comments fella

I couldn't agree more i have been using 3M polish's for years with fantastic results everytime and again i only use there pads they last forever and great price too

I tend to use true synthetic on metalic paint but the waxed finish on this really shows the flake in the paint and pops nicely, pics don't really do it justice

Thanks again

A few pics of the alloy side skirt clips being fitted, a great piece of kit this and deffo recommend them if your ford plastic clips are broke

Needed to drill out old rivets to fit the new clips, handy as my mate has just bought a new DeWalt drill and he wanted to show it off LOL!! i managed to get a pic of him working away thanks Rich!

Gay update

Some more cleaning and Mat's fitted and i am in the process of doing a deal on some new wheels

So should have a decent update soon! on a good note spoke to Karl @ NMS what a legend he is

With the Zaino Z8 it really has added a depth of shine to the paintwork

Few pics Paintwork first...........
