Hi,

Is it possible to sand the standard rear cross brace and get a nice polished effect from it?

Thanks,

Craig

Cheers Steve :)


Wasn't sure on the metal used. By the way, how are you going about filling the holes on your rear wings?

Spoiler should look sweet mate.

slowly... :oops: just holes on the rear quarters as i got a rev3 lid, had a quote for £250 to get it all done and painted. Thing is it won't make it faster, stop better or handle better so i keep kind of buying other things and the paint keeps going to the back of the list.. :oops: going to get full new discs and pads next payday, so maybe the one after that... :roll:

the red spoilers growing on me....

girlfriend won't go in the car untill its painted ... says it makes the car look like it should live on a council estate... #-o
