Hi guys.

I’m sorry to those who have those flaps of rubber that come off the bonnet.

This is the exact reason that you are having trouble making the guides fit.

I do not have those on my car, and it looks like they never have been there.

They are in the same place that I put the foam to stop the bonnet rubbing on the panel.

If you remove the rubber flaps, they should fit without a problem.

Again, I’m sorry but it looks like you will need to remove the rubber flaps to make the guide fit.

Well there was some sunshine this afternoon so I went out and took some nice shots of my car.. here's a shot of my shiny new air guide:

In the words of the Irish guys in the Guinness TV commercial, Brilliant~! :D

airguide1.jpg

i have to modify mine alot (c-west front bar),

i started modifying the front bar,, but than decided to hack up the guide,,

so didn't do to much damage to the bar, will show in pics later,,

i'll have to remove the whole front lip of the guide, coz my front grill/mesh wont fit, the front lip of the guide sticks out too far,, once again will post pics later on,,

will update the changes soon,,,

thanks

Afro

Hey Bass..thanks for the guide...i went to put it on but it wouldnt fit past the bonnet unhook latch...i noticed on the guide a marking where it was hitting where i assume it was supposed to be cut but wasnt cut...after follwing the line with a hacksaw blade, i cut out a little section and then it was spot on...dont know if anyone else had the same problem with the standard bar...nevermind it fts now and looks good....

thanks.......oh and i hope u sorted out the cabbie :P

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
