mwilkinson Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I think the bottom one is the passengers side footwell trim. I've just never seen one with a flare holder like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to have a hunt around and see what’s best I'd advise you get the tyres fitted and balanced before they're ceramic coated (I presume that's what you're looking at), otherwise the wheel weights won't stick to the coated surface properly and you may need to compound/polish the coating off to make them stick. I don't know what the best coating is for wheels but I'm sure there are a fair few detailers about who can recommend something. I follow Obsessed Garage on YT and Matt over there recommends two coats of Carpro DLUX topped with Gliss V2 for wheels, (I have no idea how well it lasts etc., as I haven't used it yet), but it should be a good solution for a non-professional to use and apply. There will be professional only coatings that will last longer out there too, like Modesta BC-06 and Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked at a few and possibly thinking about getting a pro to do it but then again they are brand new so should be pretty straight forward to do. Yeah I understand the wheel weights may not adhere to the wheel if I do it before tyres and weights, top point 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradleyh_15 Posted August 1, 2021 Author Share Posted August 1, 2021 You may have seen my post in the technical section yesterday about the rear bench. I wanted to paint/ powder coat the hinges. Upon further investigation after being told they are part of the seat frame I decided to strip the whole bench and get it powder coated 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
