    Looks great. I used to use back to black for stuff like mirrors and it would work well on the bumper inserts too.

      Thanks mate, i use to use back to black about 20 years ago but alas it seems they have taken all the stuff that made it work out, i find it doesnt do anything now 😩

    Very nice work and the wheels work very well. Surprised you did not remove the old dealer sticker on the back window. Brasso wadding works very well getting off the sticky stuff left behind.

    Graphite grey for the wheels
    I’m toying with the same colour for my 15s on the capri as it’s also red! They too need a refurb.

      Will there be an update on the cav?
      Really do enjoy your videos.

    MEC-TEC, I have only just recently started watching your Channel and the work you have been doing on your Citroen C1, which has been excellent, and very useful for me, as I myself own a Citroen C1.
    Now you have fitted the Alloy wheels to your C1, do you still have the original C1 steel wheels with tyres you removed? If so would you be interested in selling the set of 4 to me please.?

    • @mec-tec
      @mec-tec  Год назад +2

      Hi mate, welcome to the channel and thanks for the msg ! Unfortunatly the tyres on the steel wheels are pretty much worn out so not much good really
      All the best MEC 👍

      @@mec-tec Hello again, many thanks for replying to my enquiry, it's appreciated. 👍
      I'm not really bothered about the Tyres, it's the steel wheels I really want, so long as wheel are in goodish condition, e.g the rims have not been dented on curbs and the like. I want another set so I can have my wheels refurbished and I don't have to have my car off the road while they are being done, mine are rusty and need a really good respray. So if yours are in good condition I'll buy them from you, so long as the price is right. So if you want to sell the full set, can you quote me a quote me a price please for the wheels, plus postage? 👍
