Revwillie Posted January 13, 2019 Report Posted January 13, 2019 I had a burned out fog lamp and I've been trying different LED color bulbs. Found a cheap pair of yellow H11 bulbs but they didn't look right. I'm very happy with a pair of dual-mode H11 bulbs from ebay. They are bright white but if you turn them off and back on again, they are "ice" blue. I'm trying to figure out how to take a good picture or video.

Coopah Posted May 7, 2019 Report Posted May 7, 2019 23 minutes ago, GreenCactus said: I'm really curious about this stuff. How difficult was it to apply? Application is not hard, but the key is proper preparation. I washed the car then applied CarPro Essence Extreme by a buffer. This perfects the paint and primes the surface for CQuartz. Application of CQuartz is straight forward - wipe on one panel at a time with the supplied applicator and wipe off a minute or two later when the product "flashes" (you'll see it start to change color and show streaks). I have done several cars. Start to finish (with the wash, buff, and coating) was about 5 hours. Other cars I have done have taken 2 days. If you're handy, you can do this. Having it done by a pro costs between $750 and $1200. You can get the whole kit and do it yourself for less than $200. The shine and protection is amazing.
Coopah Posted May 18, 2019 Report Posted May 18, 2019 Added a Black Jack gas cap and interior Black Jack trim pieces. Very satisfied with the high quality and perfect fit of the pieces. Next up is my red slat on the front grille. Later comes blacking out the chrome. Not sure if I am going to wrap it or replace the pieces. 1

Coopah Posted May 22, 2019 Report Posted May 22, 2019 Thanks. Just a cover. There is a slight hint of the chrome peeking through near the "S" logo, but not noticeable unless you're standing right over it. Even then it just looks like the sun reflecting off the red. 1
1975_mini Posted May 26, 2019 Report Posted May 26, 2019 Well it was less what we did, and more what we undid. New plans on the way. 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels
