Im refurbing mine bronze im either going with this:

or Fiat 750 marron volciano

Refurbing bronze will be as easy as grey, as long as you prep it properly.

This filler is pretty cheap and easy to use:

Its a 1 pack activated by mixing like a ball of blue tack in fingers, always had good results with it myself
 
Yea it's been a brilliant hose , Thanks again

I love the bronze on ep3s not sure as much as gunmetal *** , hoping to get them shot blasted then filled and painted
or powder coated , let me no hiw you get on , will get some pictures up when I start mine
 
I used that same putty when I refurbished an old set of Ronals for my Polo, was very easy to use. +1 from me.

Been a busy day today on the Cosmic Project

got my wheels back from the powder coaters, look fantastic and brilliant price. Also stripped the ARB's of there plastic coat which took more effort than expected. There going in tommorow to be coated Red.

Then will fit them the wheels and the beaks bar the weekend along with the New Arb poly Bushes













As for the centre caps I think cosmic grey would look absolute fine with a red H , but will see if I can get a close match first.

Just noticed the left side of the roll bar is catching the LCA , is this due to the bar being upside down when putting it back on
 
I'm glad you've said that will sleep better now. :rolleyes: I'll retake the pictures when it's correct
 
Congrats Loxy you spotted the mistake I set to test people

Heres how it should look :smt101









Got a spare set of standard roll bars if anyone wants to have a go at refurbishing there's. Cost me £20 to get them stripped and powder coated. Will put them up later.

Got around to servicing the car today. plugs, Oil and filter, cabin filter wipers and so on.
Also got my centre Caps Wrapped and New H's ready for the new wheels to go on.






Saw someone's post somewhere about using half a bottle to catch Filter and oil , Works a treat so thank you




 
Finally got around to fitting the new wheels and tyres , Eagle F1s all around. Really pleased with the colour of the wheels and the look. Dropped in on the Ramps to have the Tracking checked on the 3D machine. All seems fine apart from the rear Camber angle -2 Degrees . Think I will need to get arms and get it pulled back towards -1. Even *** the tyres were a year old and no inside wear at all. May even get the front increased to -.50

gave her a quick clean and polish
