These, mostly





Only got to swap the lower pockets from tother door cards and job is jobbed

They look REALLY smart Al
Details on exactly what you've used would be great! 

[05omegav6]

For the armrest and cubby hole:
1. Scraper.
2. 200 wet and dry.
3. 400 wet and dry.
4. 800 wet and dry.
5. 1200 wet and dry.
6. 1500 wet and dry.

About 4 coats of Tamiya Colour for Plastics TS29 Semi Gloss Black. Runs, if any, flatted with 800 wet and dry, sanding between coats 1500 wet and dry.

For the trim panel:

Alcantara, stuck on with Evostick general purpose fabric adhesive.

The plastic pins/rivets are carefully ground back with a Dremel, and refitted using Pozi Panhead Stainless Self tappers, 8x1/2, with M5 washers. Double up the washers on the trim strip otherwise the screw tips push through.

I use the Tamiya paints rather than Helfrods as they cover better and are alot more consistant.

Excellent, concise write-up Al thanks very much!

Sanded and polished the headlights on the DTi, hopefully with some better quality bulbs fitted as well the road won't look quite so yellow!

watched the snow fall on it. Sadly, thawed as quick as it fell

[albitz]

Had great plans for today - mainly change the stat,but it rained all day,very hard at times so only managed to take the breaker down off the ramps and remove all four rear light units.
Cavalier was so full of shite that I took a new approach to tidying it yesterday. I drove to the council tip and emptied the contents of the car into one of their skips.

Just got back from a 500 mile round trip, starting Friday morning.  Took SWMBO away to a spa hotel for a couple of days rest and relaxation.     The car performed brilliantly and didn't miss a beat!  And for the first time ever, I managed 400 miles on a single tank of fuel!! 

Unfortunately, due to the combination of B-roads and horrendous weather, it looks like it's just competed in the RAC Rally...    Time to break out the pressure washer...
