So what's the lightest tint you can get? I know it's measured in translucency as I had to consider that when buying the light gels I used in the dial kits, anything from 10 to 15% translucent was good for those, but want something far lighter for the windows. I also want to do the front side windows, which I know you're not supposed to, but meh. Lightest on sides then one shade darker on the rear screen.
I've factory tints on my A3 and never had an issue with that so should be okay. Here's a pic, albeit from a higher angle so you have the black interior behind the windows making them look darker...

Good luck mate, hope it all works out. Defo worth it if you're keeping the car and if it's caught earlier it always helps.
JDModified did Rufus, details and pics on page 7 of my Rufus Resurrection thread on Modifications - everything stripped off, that stuff cleaned up and powder coated, underside cleaned up back to bare metal, some bits of welding done to fix one or two issues and then rust treated before waxoil and putting back together. Monumental job but he'll last for years now

Hehe, happens to the best of us :rolleyes:
Instrument cluster requires 23, I can sort you a set of 25, in white (that's the only colour I have) for £3.50 delivered

Super, cheers

Looking tip top mate, mind if I lift that pic to put on my Skewer Facebook page?

As in the dials and the fuel/temp display? They're PLCC2 SMD LEDs. Like this;
If you need white ones I have a stack of them

Very nice

Out of interest, does anyone have any pics of them fitted, I've done a few for club members but not seen them fitted
-
I do like the part painted look, front edge and sides leaving a half decent chunk of it exposed

As mentioned, the trick is not to stretch it if possible, that's normally what pulls corners and edges away, especially after exposure to heat and UV which will shrink vinyl a small amount over time. Not easy, but doable. I also used some of that carbon fibre skin stuff in the Evo , looked awesome after some lacquer and a good polish, but that's tricky stuff to work with aswell, and not cheap

Still wanting...

Aye, looking good mate. I'll all for folks getting inspiration

It's not just older cars though, pretty much all fuel lines can be troubled by the current bio content, let alone seeing it go up to 10%. My old man has had various seals and lines break up on all manner of cars and bikes over the last couple of years, it's one thing I'll be renewing when Rufus's engine bay gets done!

Glad it got sorted mate - add a torch to your shopping list, I keep one in the car

Any progress

*lol*
Had some of their stuff before, most of it fine, but a couple of front springs on Rufus snapped on me

*lol*
I'd say Rufus is a palace, but it's easy to keep clean when he's sat in the garage not going anywhere
The Evo I'd say is a dirty palace (just to mix things up) - kept nice and tidy, no eating/drinking or anything inside and I don't smoke, but not actually cleaned up as often as I'd like, so the floor mats build up stones, leaves, etc. until I remember to shake them out
-
I'd say keep it, with the costs of petrol going the way they are a GT-Four would cost far too much to run. Looks a very tidy example, take some time to enjoy it for what it is
-
Need an option for 0, Rufus is off the road currently
-
I got an Evo to get me through the winter, 4WD is sure to help! Just need to drive sensibly
-
I'd go a for a deep candy apple green

Yup, £20 delivered for a pair, colour of your choice

I reckon my Audi above is about that, you could get away with doing the front sides too I would imagine. Having looked into it a bit more I suspect one of the best films would be 3M Crystalline as they have a wide range of translucency and off heat protection aswell. They also do a 90% one which you can barely see but would reduce solar gain by a third, could almost get away with that on a front screen! I shall be looking into this...
