Featured Replies

Yo peeps, I've been a member on here since i got my polo, and I've done quite a few things to my bab;D

If you reading this you might get confused cos I've got pictures of things that I've done but not in the right order, so just bare with me if you see something new in the background of a picture of flash that's new or not there, if that makes any sense at all, if not, then waheey that's life, I only got a B at school;)

So to start with, I bought the little flash 1.0 polo after selling my beloved Classic Mini (pics if you want) -

As you can see picture quality is shit, this is from egay the day i bought it:P

Yeah give em a good clean, primer a couple of times, then halfords spray (making sure it's the exact colour) do that a couple of times, and clear laquer 3 times, boom!;D

I actually didn't take them off, I masked everything around them cos I know they are a pain to get off, I just made sure I masked every single nook and cranny, it worked for me you will never tell with mine, give it a go!:P
