Dogconker Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Well I washed the car again today because I'm hoping my plasti dip will arrive tomorrow. If the weather holds up I hope to have something to show you tomorrow pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Looks like it's Monday before I get to dip my grille etc, first day the weather looks nice enough. Will take some photos of the process if I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogconker Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Yeah I know, sadly work is getting in the way. I should get on it this afternoon, it'll only take me a couple of hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dug Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 cool hopefully my overlay badges should arrive this this week thanks for the help with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 All done, sprayed it all on the car in the end, just used a reel of automotive masking tape. Looks really good, I'm pleased with it to be fair. The badges look good in white Quite a transformation for 2 hrs work. I suppose you'll want to see the photos now then? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogconker Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Because I'm soooo busy at work, (NOT! Basically just sitting at home with nothing to do while I wait for my notice period to end) I'm giving the XV a load of TLC. having blacked out the chrome and treated her to new white badges the other day, I've today spent my working day (lol!) washing, waxing, hoovering, interior detailing, the full nine yards, even tyre blacked her. Looks stunning now, so much so that I'm tempted to just drive somewhere nice and get a couple of good photos in the sun. sadly though the wife has also cottoned on I'm not too busy and has given me a list of wife work I can do rather than "play" with my car 😩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogconker Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Looks great, I definitely think no chrome looks better. It's a bit fiddly around the front badge but worth it I think. I'm loving how mine looks now. I like the red badge on yours I wondered about black with white stars but I think I made the right choice. None of it is permanent so if change my mind it's no drama Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 We need to get these two parked next to each other for a photoshoot [emoji6] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dug Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 agreed a photoshoot would be good yes it's way better with all the chrome gone, looks more rugged I am loving the red logo's they go great with the red on the Rally Armor mud flaps :-) front done :-) the black and white combo looks great on yours. They both look direct from Subaru not a Halfords wan-a-bee's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Looks good, just out of curiosity, did you spray the whole grill or just the chrome, I sprayed the chrome and peeled off around the chrome bits as I'd masked it off. The plastic and the dip look the same to be fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dug Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 I only did the chrome bits I removed grill and separated and sprayed Masked the middle bit and peeled away around and center Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I didn't mask the middle I just sprayed over, it actually cut nicely around the centre which was handy Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rats - you will have to flip through the catalogue to page 139, as it will not load on the page showing the caddies. Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizmo Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I have had a rattle for some time, which comes and goes but, today, I found the cause - it is the spare nut for when the skinny spare is fitted, and the locking nut can't be used. Seemed to have slipped down the back of the spare wheel well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Well, at least it was nothing major j the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Well mine is in the garage because staggeringly it developed an identical fault as my wife's car with the aircon. I'm half expecting the dealers to tell me it's the same problem which is a worry as it implies that the aircon condenser unit only lasts 2-3 years and then the seals go. I went from fully functioning aircon to nothing in 3 days. The dealer is sorting it out as a warranty issue so it's just an annoyance but it's a concern that this might happen again in 2-3 years when the warranty has expired.

Dogconker Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Absolutely fuming with myself!!!! driving the wife's car and was pulling round a traffic calming island, somehow misjudged it and clipped the front wheel on the kerb, wheel is fine, tyre has a golfball sized bulge stickingboutbof the side wall, Effin marvellous, that's £120 down the pan plus another £25 to get the tracking done. Hacked off is an understatement!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
