last step was the instrument panel. i thought i could just sand off the yellow die on the back of the dials but that was too much hassle so decided to go back to metal monkey and get some almost standard looking dials from them. was alot easier and i think better looking. and yes you guessed.... blue leds behind it   my only issue was trying to get the needles back in exactly the right place, i think i may be a couple of degrees out with the oil and fuel needles. i did mark where they were before i removed them and took reference photos but it seems impossible to get them 100% accurate again? ________________________________________ supercharged China gti6 - Thu 16th Sep 1999 - sold2010 megane rs250 |

this was followed by a clean, then chamois, then polish. i dont think the car has been very well looked after as the paint seemed very flat and dull. anyone got any advice on how to get it to shine like a china should?apologies for the seriously bad auto focus   ________________________________________ supercharged China gti6 - Thu 16th Sep 1999 - sold2010 megane rs250 |

mjstones wrote: looking good mate Thanks Mike. The stickers are a great little detail and finish the car off nicely Still to come: Change headlight bulbs for legal ice blue bulbs, rather than hid's. Followed by Miles gear linkages because it's constantly missing 3rd, I'm hoping that will fix the problem, unless anyone has another suggestion? Then when finances allow... Solid beam mounts, lower 30mm and possibly some other new suspension components to suit. ________________________________________ supercharged China gti6 - Thu 16th Sep 1999 - sold2010 megane rs250 |

i have had some professional photos taken by a good friend of mine, he's actually a wildlife photographer but was kind enough to recommend a lovely location and try something different in the form of my 6. if anyone in the dorset/hampshire areas would like a photographer for any occasion please let us know, hes a great guy and great photographer.so the location.... we chose one of the top 3 locations in the country as voted in country life magazine. its a spot on the Jurassic coast, on Abbotsbury hill overlooking Chesil beach towards the isle of Portland with St Catherine's chapel perched alone on the next hill. FUN FACT: the bouncing bomb was tested at this very beach         possibly more to come in next few days ________________________________________ supercharged China gti6 - Thu 16th Sep 1999 - sold2010 megane rs250 |
