306 diablo red hdi

[tim 306td]

i bought this off ct-hdi. the plan is to mint it up as i have wanted another 306 for ages
the day after i got it



the old steering wheel is tatty so had a look for another one




the new one arrived



so gave it the autofinesse treatment and it came up well



then decided to give it a wash so out came autofinesse ironout









the car is covered in tar spots and the paint needs a good correction but i dont have the time atm so did one wing as it started to snow. i used oblitarate,clay bar,and autofinesse triple.





thats all for the moment.getting a price to repaint the full front soon and going to take all the seats out and wetvac all the interior. the plan is alot of alcantara 
need to get the belt done and order a decent clutch for it. i will try to keep this upto date as much as poss.

tasty wheels! makes a change from the usual.
btw, how long did the wing take to do?

[tim 306td]

About 5 mins just a quick job. When the weather is good it will get the full works and wax/seal the lot

[tim 306td]

The 306 is booked in to get the full front redone in august. I know its a fair wait but my mates doing it and i only trust him. So will get a brand new bonnet as this is starting to rust

this do mate

Perfect, the green interior cleaner one, do you just spray on the carpets and then stiff brush it in/off ?

Vac after when dry or when wet?

[tim 306td]

The green one is for odd bits of fabric and for plastics. If you want to do carpets and seats buy autofinesse verso. Its good stuff. Just water it down and spray on the area your doing, leave it a couple of mins to soak in and spray again while vacing off

---

If you get and stubborn bits then work it in with a soft brush and vac it off. You dont want to drentch the fabric as it will take ages to dry

more parts turning up for this now 

new clutch





cambelt kit and 6000k hids

---

ohhh and you know the score with these 

[MY95]

The new mist jets make a hell of a difference! let me know how you get on with the hid kit please, sun woif kit looks pretty good and is cheap, what is the box below it?

[Toms306]

I do like the way Auto Finesse use such an unreadable font that you have to buy several bottles until you find the right stuff, good way of selling more.

This is looking really good though, decent parts stock there as well! (Bar the HIDs, but each to their own).

[tim 306td]

I didnt want to go as high as 6000k but thats all i could get that would match fogs and headlights at them time. The bottom box is viphid 6000k. I love autofinesse products its really good stuff i have almost everything

[tim 306td]

so having to send the clutch back due to damage on it 



so decided to clean it up abit

the back lights had been clear coated over and started to go funny
before



during wet sanding



after

[tim 306td]

For people who want to purchase a blackdiamond cluth get it from larkspeed and not from blackdiamond themselves!! Apparently its impossible for it to be damaged or get damaged on its way to me. 120% impossible

[tim 306td]

put the hids on today

6000k hid on the left, nightbreaker bulb on the right

[Poodle]

Wow they look really annoying lol. That's shit about black diamond, might find this helps, had to use it recently: http://whatconsumer.co.uk/returning-dama...zbErL52NTA. You might even find calling and quoting a few bits about the sale of goods act is enough to get them moving.

[tim 306td]

Thanks for the help poodle. Luckily because i got it from larkspeed they have agreed to change it. If i would of got it directly from blackdiamond i would of had a struggle to change it as the guy was a complete idiot. As for the hids they will get changed for 4300k eventually. More blue then i wanted

[Magenta Sunset]

can I have my eyeballs back please?

[tim 306td]

Aslong as i can see on the road dont care if anyone else can haha

[MY95]

Lights are very bright haha! Was looking to get some of these, but they must be illegal?!
