Updated Pics of my WR1...

Postby Clark » Mon Jul 07, 2008 7:12 pm

Copied and pasted from Detailingworld:





Evening all :wave:

Been a while since i posted anything, purely down to the fact that i've been so busy that i havent had time to take any pics during my details, so i thought i'd post something up untill my next "proper" write up.

I had a half day off on Friday so i gave the Impreza a wash and another coat of Werkstat Acrylic - this was its 7th or 8th coat (starting to lose count) and the car is now looking incredibly wet so i'm well chuffed :thumb:

I'm also in the middle of trying out Blackfire's Metal Sealant, which comes boosted with Polycharger:

Image


So far the protection seems to be very good, it gives off similair beading to Vintage and considering the tailpipe gets extremely hot i've found this rather impressive :)



I finally got round to "de-Tangoing" the headlights. This consists of heating the headlight casings up with a heat gun (some people put them in the oven but i took the safer option!) and seperating them enough to remove the orange lense.


Before:

After:

Image


Removing the orange lense meant that the indicator bulbs needed replacing with orange ones, but instead i painted the standard ones orange and then tinted them the same colour as the car - same for the rears:

Image



I'd always thought the rear end was too "busy" with badges as standard:

Image


A bit of de-badging and a new WR1 sticker makes it look a bit neater now IMO :)

Image



The standard stereo is, to put it mildly, rather pi$h. Fortunately i'd kept my one when i sold the Leon so this has massively helped improve the sound quality :thumb:

Image




And finally, last weeks mod was a new set of 6000K HIDs, once you've had them you cant go back to crappy halogens :)


Image

Image



On next months shopping list are 4 new tyres and a refurb for all the wheels as a couple of them have some small kerbing marks from the previous owner which has bugged me since buying the car. I'm also going to get under the car and clean everything there as it is still like new so i want to keep it like that :)



I know it wasnt exactly a proper write up but i thought i'd post something until i can get the next one up - and trust me, the next one will be worth waiting for ;)


Cheers for looking!

I am glad you didn't say that to Marky Mark or JP WR1... There would have been a race followed by a fight to get your trousers down.
