really? i dont think so, thats just your opinion which you have a right to, just as i have a right an opinion aswell
If everyone liked and wanted a "Flashline" kit then we would be in big trouble 'cause there aren't that many "spare" ones around .
I like it, Sue and our sons like it and it's all good............ and it's a Holden just like the EH (without the "Flashline Kit" ), not a bloody Fraud HPaddict!!

as long as you like it mate thats all that matters, its all good

please dont take offence, its only my opinion of how i see the car thats all, its not a crime to have an opinion, as i said before is a bloody nice car still top effort mate.

HPaddict, maaaaate no offence taken, gave me a good laugh.

BTW, your EH would look shit-hot with a Flashline Kit, if you did........ I'd buy it (if it was for sale)!!!

Had an EH once....and a HQ coupe ..... HJ tonner .......fingers getting cramps

maybe I will have to dig out the old pics and scan them so I can post 'em in "other cars" (one day

)

Looks great.

Andrew

Thanks Andrew,
I used a bench grinder with Josco buff wheels and the Josco compounds..... there are 3 main ones I used:
Grey: for rough cut - removing scratches
Light green: for high polish on stainless steel etc.
White: for high polish on aluminium, diecast and other alloys. They are readily available from Mitre-10, Bunnings etc...........

Hope it helps.

These are the wheels, you need 2, one is stitched for rough cut (left side) and the other is loose soft wheel (right side) for high polish:

This is the "light green" in te package.

Wish I read this before I did mine, paid $80 for mine to be done at a metal polishing plant. Come up good though.

Car is looking very

Hey V8EK4US did you do the hoodlining yourself?

I bought mine from Evilbay and was unsure where to start for fear of stuffing it up.
