Yeh just like on the a5 the wing mirror where mirror attaches to car is rubber and got scraped like a mofo by tree branches looks all scuffed wanna make it look nice again if that makes sense

Also side of windscreen copped it >.<

Autobarn would sell what I'm after?

Yeah for sure mate, I'd say any 'blackening' product would work pretty well on it. Sounds stupid but have you tried toothpaste at all?

I've used it a few times on scuffs and it's worked super well. You could even try using that, buffing, then a blackening product to get it looking schmick ;)

Turtle wax swirl remover isn't bad either, can't remember if that can be used on rubber though.

mothers and all that are shit. Will last you few weeks max.

Let me have a look at it, i got stuff that will work for around 6-8 months.

But depends on what type of plastic/rubber we're looking at.

Talk on fb yo.

Toothpaste Is amazing used it on paint a few times didn't think of it for rubbers worst case ill replace the parts I guess little things shit me :/

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
