Frenchy! What's up with my door handles!!

Wife went to Zumba tonight so I had the workshop to myself ..sorry Kitchen

my rear lights were looking a bit "used" so decided to give them bit of a polish before fitting them tomorrow.....got a kit of ebay

Kit contains polish with pads and a UV sealer/inhibitor,
gave the lights a good wash and a very gentle sand with 1200 wet and dry just on the deep scratches

then got the drill and give em a good polish, would have been better with a DA polisher but the drill was Ok,
in for a wash again then 2 coats of the UV sealer

Hey they look much better

all the deep scratches are gone

tomorrow I will clean all the electrical terminals before fitting.........wifes back from Zumba so better go clean the kitchen....polish gets everywhere

That's what kitchens are for aren't they ?
Simkin nothing wrong with the door handles i just prefer the original sleeker look, i also prefer the rubber spoiler as opposed to bridge spoiler, i also prefer original wheels or Cup 1's on 944 and not much else but we all have different tastes.
While i am at it would not fit clear lenses to my car nor a bee sting type aerial.
All said, each to their own and live and let live.

What about a set of 16 inch Fuchs on a 944 Jim????

My personal favourite.

Hi got the front and rear bumpers on and badge panel,headlights etc

my RH side light closes to far and does not align with the badge panel....LH side is fine

HOW DO I ADJUST IT ?

Getting bored now ..my car is in storage so can not work on it ...... Done too much eating and drinking and No exercise so decided to do what I could on the bits of the car that are in the lounge,bedroom, garden, Kitchen ect

I've allways been bothered about the scratches in my door glass, seems to be a common 944 problem, looked in a couple of breakers but every piece of glass seemed to be scratched somewhere, Porsche wanted £280 +vat each side

I found a company in Yorkshire ...Yorkshire-windscreens that has both side INSTOCK.....amazing price if £70 each inc vat
they are not oem but the the size and colour is bang on

I removed the runner from the old glass this was very easy!...Allmost too easy I was waiting for something to go wrong

started by applying adhesion promoter to bottom of the new glass and then glued the rubber seal on to it

nice easy little job done.....just added a bit of adhesive for good measure and pushed the run channel on the glass...simples

I have tried adding pics but the site says file to large, i need a child to show me how to reduce the picture size! untill then i just put all my pics on picasa web albums.
