Hey mate, theres already a vin fast'ing thread.

Absolutely gorgeous!! Welcome to the forums! I'm looking forward to the build thread.

Well done! This is awesome.

Just added the qld prefix to your thread. (I was testing it worked ok.)

Yours is there but the image is broken, can you re-upload it?

That may have been cached. Bottoms were done at the same time.

OK, should be fixed now. We're waiting for some smaller ads for mobiles, until then we need the big squares, but it makes the site usable.

Can you take a screenshot? Your phone might be getting the wrong ads and that would suck!

Try again? Can you just add lots of members in the 'To' field?

This is what I was thinking.

Welcome! Loving all the cars, I'm seriously envious.

Will investigate. Is this still happening? As above Try again now. Is this a functional limitation or a bug? Hit the little black arrow at the very right of the quote title.

Thats some serious piece of kit.

We're everything mate. Definitely not only Skylines.

Ultimate is what I used. This one. Was good but i have no basis for comparison.

This bloke has one (alas in black) for $224. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VW-Passat-B6-05-09-Station-wagen-Passenger-Side-Front-Door-Black-/161134409054?hash=item25845bf55e:g:EzoAAOSwxp9W3A11 So, I'm more confused as ever now.

Thats a great idea @JAS-25T, maybe I can get a pair of white doors from a wrecker? Surely they'd only be $150ea or so.

I haven't, I'll def check them out - thanks! Nice, i'll have a look at that. Thanks so much for the info.

Sweet, thanks. Brooky is only 20mins from me.

The polisher is a 80 buck job from Supercheap. It has a speed control which is great. It seemed pretty good last weekend, quite capable. (I used to work on a slipway repairing boats, we had really nice makita polishers but I am on a budget). The pads are supercheap brand ones. I found it hard to get good info on pads. Lots of colours and different patterns but little explanation about what is what. It is a Maguiars polishing compound. Nothing serious. It did a great job of polishing, the car has never looked this good but there was no change to these patches of scratches. What is an aggressive compound? And, do I use the aggressive stuff on just the scratches? Also, can I go over and over the same spot with the aggressive compound and polisher or should it be done bit by bit over a few sessions?

Is that because they're so sharp?

My Bora had a wing when I bought it (limited 'Sport' model) which looked shit so I took it off. It has also spent a bit of its time with roof racks on. Both of these things have added awful scuffs and scratches on the roof and boot. I've recently bought my first polisher (a proud moment) and was hoping I could somehow 'polish it out'. Maybe I need to hit the patches with some 1400 grit and then polish the bejesus out of it. I am 100% the paint newbie. I've always just washed my cars and thats it. I'm not learning that I can really make them look better with polish and wax as well as protecting them. Its also a car that is not worth getting a professional to do it.

Hi Folks, The family Passat has had its doors opened on to our car port posts a few times (kids were little and it happened so many times over just a few days I couldn't do anything about it - i now have foam around the posts.) Each of the front doors has 3 of these sharp little dents in them. We've been quoted $660 to get them out but the dent guy said that he couldn't guarentee he'd get them out. This is because there is a reo bar behind the dents inside the door so they'll be tricky to get behind. What do you guys think? Could a puller be used? Do you know anybody who might be able to get these out? We're selling the car soon so want to get these out so we can get as much as possible.
