Car looks sexy mate. Glad you got that battery issue resolved that would've been a pain in the ass to deal with

NeT335 · 06-30-2016, 02:57 AM

+1 happy about the battery issue being dealt with now

I'm not usually a black on black on black guy but every time I look at yours and MJ80's car now I want to paint my wheels gloss black lol yours is looking really clean bro

Loving the work you've done to the car. Glad to hear battery issue is sorted. JB4 strikes again!!! I'm guessing you have some new trim bits coming. Just got mine installed u will be very happy I thinks

DOCTOR.Y · 06-30-2016, 06:16 AM

I am bit confused about PPK flash. I have read somewhere on the forum saying that only dealer can do it, but it seems independent coding guy can do it as well.. Any difference?

Thanks mate, I don't have an much to show as you, if only my effort could be measured in sweat, swearing and frustration haha!

Yeah something like that.

Glad you like your trim!

Nar anyone can do it, there's a guide on N54tech, it's the saw flash that BMW does.

The wheels were impossible to keep clean with the stock pads, the akebonos make it easy

, plus a 5 piece wheels washing kit.

I'm tempted!

How much does it usually cost to paint/powdercoat wheels?

Also going to get mine detailed maybe next week so it looks as shiny as yours lol

I don't know, less than a grand, maybe 150-200 per wheel?

I'll be getting a mine detailed again soon, needs a clay and machine polish for sure.

Quick wax works a treat when you wash

Not sure what the stage 1 is but it might be because it comes with hardware as well.

The PPK is a flash as well as some extra upgraded hardware.

But yeah, people worked out how to flash it for free, I paid for a persons time to do the flash

, rather than the flash itself.

buy the gear and DIY!?

There are heaps of online guides and youtube vids, and if you have the time it can be a very satisfying DIY especially with a black car!

Yeah but I dont really have the space to detail the car myself.
I live in an apartment with no wash bay and my parents garage is taken up.
I would have to do it on the street in sunlight, It is possible but I would prefer to take a full day or two and have it in a sealed parking space so I can take my time.

Ive wanted a Rupes Bigfoot 2 for a while now, one day.

Ahh righto yeah that would be difficult...

Yeah ideally you need a weekend to do a big detail, but perhaps you could try the new all in one mezerna compound/wax.

Pierre from CCP has stated its great for quick detailing and produces a good finish (ideal if you want to conduct a quick detail before selling a car) but for a really deep gloss its best to stick to compounding and a dedicated wax.

You dont need a rupes to produce a good finish, just makes things easier for a RO with a bigger throw like the rupes does and has a bit more grunt then a normal RO (I make do with a cheap porter cable RO and a hitachi rotary for heavy compounding)

JJH · 06-30-2016, 08:33 PM

That's a mega update - great work!

I hadn't heard of that, do you need a RO for the Mezerna product?

I want a rupes because they and so many experts always say you basically cant destroy your paint with it haha, even holding it on a single spot its super safe.

where did you get your carbon fibre mirrors from? are they stick on or replacement housing? they look awesome. I want some!

I got them from EuroDivision

PRE-LCI Mirrors

LCI Mirrors

They are covers, not replacements.

They come with 3M tape to stick them on, I found this to be pretty crappy, its almost impossible to push them into place evenly in one go, and the red tape shows on the sides, plus certain edges dont stick down.

Over time I feel like they would have falllen off.

I removed the 3M tape and used silicone haha, worked a treat, the covers get closer down so there is less of a gap/no gap really and you can move them into place then let them dry.

Obviously not reversible, but im not removing them anytime soon.
