What color combo did you decide to go with?

 

I still have to talk to them about color, but thinking about candy cooper with carbonfiber hood with lines on hood cooper. And also recieved sponsorship paint from dupli-color this week. The rims and rest of silver will be done in gun metal. Also talked to borla this week should be getting catback. They told me I will here from them in few weeks.

Was also thinking about grabber blue with stripes

 

Spent a little more time cleaning up the oxidation on the engine. Here's the before and after for comparrison. I also finished the HID's and drove it to the driving range.

Spent the day detailing two Crossfires for the spring Dragon. had a nice time working with my son. Looking forward to seeing everybody in Fontana. Will have some pics up later if I can get one of my boys to help me upload photos of my brake upgrade.

 

Funny that this post came back. I drove to Ft. Myers last night for my mothers 82 Birthday. I took my buffer and .......yes I lightly buffed her out,,,,,,sweet looking when she is clean and has a fresh coat of wax on her. After 60k though and as much as I clean and wax her, she is showing her daily driving age. Kinda like me I guess.




and yes I did moms silver Imala. She was happy.....

 

Wow, how did you remove all the oxidation? Great job!

 

Thanks. I used brillo pads and a little vinegar.

 

I finally installed the 181 crank pulley setup. Me likey.

 

Thats no way to treat an 82 year old lady, thankfully you did not use a clay bar.

 

Dave, that depends. You would have to ask the 82 year old lady. Don't you agree?

 

lmfao this thread just took a turn for the better.

 

This thread is about doing things to your XF, not a little ole lady. That didn't sound right. LOL

 

I could have pointed out that I live with a 52 year old lady that enjoys nothing better than a good "light buffing".

But I won't go there...

 

I think you've been there a lot of times by the smile that's always on your face.

 

Had a clear bra installed on the front bumper and headlights..............no more paint chips.

 

Ordered a big heat exchanger.

 

Warmed up my new Brakes on the Dragon. Thanks again Freakenfast for the new binders.

 

Tomorrow the AMG big brake kit goes on

 

Had my Ansa installed and put on MGP caliper cover. Covers look great and Ansa sounds nice.

 

Well, I'm too cheap to pay $300 for a used one, so I decided to build my own gauge pod for under $100. I'm 60% done with the pod and I'll probably complete it tomorrow.

Here are some photos of the progression over the last 6 hours.
