    QP/GT front subframes - the truth

    Top advice as always, i will just add for discussion on the coating itself....Waxoil is a bit old school, it did not do any where near as well as the s50 in these tests. Compare the results in the Photos or pdf Click HERE The results were commissioned by bilt hamber. So you could argue a...

    QP/GT front subframes - the truth

    For inside the subframe after the costing above I would use bilt hamber s50 cavity wax, and after the subframe do the car cavities too! P.s. does you subframe have holes in the top...If so plug them? I can't see any reason them. I notice them on the original but not plugged them yet

    Underbody maintenance, lanoguard, chassis protection

    Interesting I hadn't seen that one. I think we are going to have to turn this into a 10 to 15 year thread where we try all the products, as there are others like fluidfilm, buzzweld, corroheat, etc! I decided there were so many I just had to pick one to get going and try others in time. One...

    Underbody maintenance, lanoguard, chassis protection

    In that case when you have everything but a few days before you want to start, find a valeter that has one of those pressure washers that rotates underneath. That will save any hand cleaning, or minimise it I actually took my wheel arch liners off and even the various crash boxes in the front...

    Brakes are sorted that's the main thing and if and when you need handbrake shoes you already have a plan in the bag.

    Underbody maintenance, lanoguard, chassis protection

    Nice, we're in the club. I actually regret not powerwashing, as because I didn't i, had to scrub the entire underside by hand! I only learned of the power wash trick after. You've done one better than me, the wife's car dosent even get a look in. Only joking I also plan to do all of my...

    Handbrake shoes

    No worries, on the shipping it just says in the listing to ask. At least they have them in stock. I would ask eurospares using the first part number how long to get some, at least then you cab make an informed decision. If you need em of course. I bought some for my GT as I heard scrapping and...

    Handbrake shoes

    Tread with caution, but another trick is to find the old part numbers. 328060111 looks to be a superseding of 318020111, there will be a reason but ignoring that for a minute a search of the earlier number results in...

    What's the part number? Pop it into Google or ebay search, that will yield other results.

    GT : Diamond floor mats

    For me it started because I had seen the mats on ebay and amazon, they were about £100. I had never actually tried ali express but I thought for £36 I had nothing to lose as either way I was taking a punt on fit. I am sure there are more suppliers either on ali express or on temu or just...

    Underbody maintenance, lanoguard, chassis protection

    In case your wondering, lanoguard essentially comes as two parts. A grease A liquid You use the grease on seams and rust, on the first day it goes almost bright yellow but then dries much clearer. The liquid is a diluted version of the grease. It goes on clear and dries clear although road...

    Wheelarch rust repair

    Ha yes, indeed - wheel arch liners, much easier than the wheel arches lol. I specifically took them down to check for this exact problem of trapped mud creating the rust anywhere under or near the wheel arch liners. Mine were clean, but I only drive in the rain, if I get caught in it. I...

    Underbody maintenance, lanoguard, chassis protection

    I just thought I would share my experience of lanoguard on the underneath of my granturismo. The purpose is to seal the surface to ensure rust cannot take hold or get worse. What I liked about lanoguard is is that it can basically go on anything like plastics and rubbers without worry. its's...

    GT : Diamond floor mats

    I appreciate there will be alot of people that don't like the below. In my case I wanted something to protect my lovely carpet from the kids....! So a took a £36 punt (delivered) on some ali express mats, and actually they fit alright...! So just thought I would share in case someone else is...

    Wheelarch rust repair

    I have just removed my wheel arches and checked/cleaned/lanoguarded to prevent this from happening. Easier and cheaper to prevent than cure. If the car was a diamond and ticked all the boxes, then the rust repair would not bother me as it is quite easy to fix. Any decent bodyshop could sort it out
