nah, black has always been my color, car is totaly blacked out so it stays like that. Embarrassed to say that the bird poop mark has been sitting on mine for nearly 8 years... when it happened I thought that was it and did not bother about it until now. Now I found out it can come out, a little too late

People on Meguiars also thought the same and Larry from AMMO NYC said so too. I think I will go for the cheap option and just wrap it. Anyone against it or any disadvantages you might know of?

awesome... even more money to spend. I think the politically correct term is "clear coat failure". For the record the roof was never repainted. Anyone know the cost of repainting the roof? Ballpark figure?

Hi guys, i recently bought an ebay DA, meguiars ultimate compound and 205. Also a micro fibre meguairs cutting pad. I tried to get rid of some poop marks along with some weird looking scratches, but wasnt really succesfull. I did wet sand it with 2500 and 2000 as well but I am worried I am going too deep in the color.having said that, I dont know what qualifies for too deep. Has anyone tried to wetsand with 1500grit and got away with it without hetting to the paint? Also, can someone have a look at the picture and let me know if they have seen that before and if they managed to take it off?

if for some reason mirrors dont get sold, let me know. Thanks

it is a long shot but do you still have these for sale? I am also interested for the rear centre piece that holds the headliner. let me know

The connector above goes right under the cable locks for the shifter(those two springs that end up moving the gears). The clip is gone and wouldnt mind changing it. Anyone knows the part no? Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Problem is... i broke the plastic bot from the lock cable that goes to the shifter. Need to replace that. What an odyssey... Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Just an update, took everything off, sandpapered everything, the bolt on the gearbox was a bit loose, tightened it, sandpapered the screws below battery too. Replaced the new starter that wouldnt start with the old one too, worked like a charm and she started immediately. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Oh is it from a sunroof model? It wont do then. Damn.Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

No I didnt. I am thinking of replacing it but I have no idea what I am looking for. Same goes for the battery cables which I checked out today and there are lots of different sizes and naterials. Totaly lost. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Any of the two colors will do as long as it is not the black one from the vrs. Please have a look and let me know for peace of mind. I ll come and collect it probably in the weekend if I have fixed the starter motor issue I am having. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

wow! What an answer, thanks for taking the time to write all this. First things first. I am glad I kept my old starter because even when I took it off, it would still do the tak-tak noise. The new one after yesterday doesnt, it is just dead. So I think it is now gone. The box on top of the battery is relatively new as I had a melted fuse years ago and changed the whole thing. I checked it yesterday and everything looks nice and clean. The groundings is the one I am fearing but the only grounding I am aware of is the one on the engine, of the negative cable. I am expecting a couple of extensions for my ratchet and will definitely give it a go, meaning, take it off, a bit of sand paper, and then back in tight. The cables that might be knackered is something that has crossed my mind and was thinking to look into replacing them, but not just yet, I need to check the other things first. You have a fair point for the battery as the reading inside the car was showing 11.8 and the green flag guy's instrument was reading around 12.4. So although I as never good with currents and electrics, I will buy one and do some testing. Getting the starter on a bench etc cant happen unfortunately, no space to start with and these two next weeks we will be busy as heel at home. Which is why I need the car and it is just letting me down now that I need it the most.

I permanently have a voltometer in the ca and it always read around 12 or 11.8 however it is not the factory one by any means. It can start the car even at 11.4 Reason being there is a sub and a couple of amps in the car (from the previous owner) and it needs that extra power. Have I properly tested it? How is that done? The guy from Green Flag came with a instrument to check the power/electricity and said battery as fine.

interesting. I Il try the connections again, I might get one of these sprays as well. So annoying... I ll take everything off. The bit I dont understand is how the old starter went dead, I installed the new one, it would start ok however I could feel it struggles a little bit to start. Then it just went totally dead.

getting a bit tired of the car now... Originally the car would not start, battery was fine, starter motor replaced. Soon after I could hear the solenoid again (tak tak sound) and the car wouldnt start at all. Green flag came, checked the groundings the battery etc and the guy said it is probably the relay. Now, where is the relay for the ignition? Under the steering wheel or in the engine? And how it is marked? I searched a few topics but I could not find anything. Any help would be appreciated. ...or, could it be something else? Any opinions?

Today I changed the starter motor. Last week I changed the rocker cover gasket. The week before VR6 clutch and new fork in gearbox. I also tightened the wastegate a little bit and she is flying. I hope problems will stop for a while because I am skinned Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

It seems as if there was supposed to be a screw there. Just noticed it today. Any ideas anyone? I am talking about right under the yellow top screw. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

hi mate, what color is the headliner? And in what condition? Has it fallen or anything?

First time ever my clutch is that soft. Before I needed to apply a lot of pressure and didnt know why. Now i found out... Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Thanks guys. Will not be going to Mr Clutch. Already in talks with a familiar to Briskoda mechanic, I am sorted out now. Thanks for your input. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
