Heres what i got up to today

[matty gt]

started off with standard ep82 strut brace
then I stripped all the paint off with 120 grit then 220 then 280 then 320 then 400 then 600 then 800 than 1000 then 1200 then finally 1500 to get the mirror shine I wanted and then some autosol metal paste I painted the ends in a new coat of black
and last but not least fitted to the engine bay

Nicely done buddy. It looks real well and retains the OEM effect.

Is anyone else thinking 'Why didn't I think of that?'

Thanks mate I was in the process of doing both sides but it was way to fiddly and hard to get a mirror finish hence the reason I just painted them again
