And here's my polished altenator-finished it yesterday (all my own work) :grin:
and today I fitted my new carbon wing mirror covers:
Right, I fitted my carbon mirror covers today-here is a quick guide of fitting, and also some snaps of the finished article. They do look VERY cool in the flesh-and they are also lighter than the plastic ones-great stuff! :grin:
Here's how they look out of the box:
Take the old cover off and clean the area with an alcohol solution of some sort:
Apply some silicon to the area ready to stick them on:
I used some masking tape to keep them in place-and firmly pressed on:
Remove tape then buff: :grin:
All done:
