Painted the trims in the special plastic primer  The tail gate although from a newer car has a few little dents, I removed the glass as it has a chassis number etched to it which obviously will be no good, Bronze tinted glass is £280+vat   Just got to wait now till the paint is applied as the tailgate is edge to edge to the rear quarters and the roof so just hope the colour has been tinted correctly. Parked the car up and let it run for a bit, got all my replacement red inserts, these are getting hard to find now especially the rear bumper one.  As it stands, sounds quite fruity with no back box, this is removed as all the brackets to support it up have been removed to be re plated.

How did you manage to get the full red strip kit, i went for a whole set a few weeks ago and the OS door is NFP as is the back and front ones. I bought a front one two years ago and only just managed to buy the last chrome back one in the country afaik which i will paint over to match. I have an ok back one now but does have one dint on it and unsure if i will be able to press it out using a screwdriver. Ebay to the resque helped me find a decent door one.________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug. Black 306 GTI 6 Standard, was 60k mileage, bargain!!

Still waiting for the bits back from the platers and the refurbers for the under side heat shields and brackets that got painted.

Well at about 11 today this is what I saw when I looked through the painters glass doors- Then once touch dry, it was nice and cosy in the booth, about 50 degrees.  Plus I got my zinc plated bits back.  ________________________________________ C.G.Cars of Leicester, Peugeot/Citroen/Renault specialist Tel: 01162 624498/07799 405184 WWW.CGCARSLEICESTER.CO.UK36 narborough road south, Leicester LE3 2fn MOT station now open, tests £35 with a free retest.

Those zinc plated bits are a nice touch Carl, nice and original looking. Out of interest, how much would it set one back to zinc coat all the bit in that box?Graham ________________________________________ 1992 Onyx Black 205 GTI-62005 Honda S2000 (Sold) 2002 Audi S3 (Sold) 2005 Clio 182 Trophy (sold) |

I got a local firm who do work around the area to remove it, he owes me some favours, he seemed to do it relatively easily, they do it with a type of wire and it cuts the seal, I suppose there is a risk of damage.
