Won some cloudy headlights for £21 in Aug.
Took them to my bodyshop guy in the hope of a polish up, tells me he has a new method.
800 wet and dry, then laquer on top.

I fitted them on Friday.

They look good, but I'd be concerned about how durable a lacquer is going to be on them.

12 months MOT, woohoo.
2 advisorys, minor corrosion on a rear brake pipe and leaking water pump which got sorted the same day.
Happy days.

O/E from the factory they have lacquer to prevent U/V discouloration.
If one sorts them out one should re-lacquer.

I know, I sanded it off a pair of lights to refurbish, not a boring job in the slightest.

Changed a n/s rear caliper yesterday, totally siezed.
Glad in a way, it was the type where you mount the pad in the caliper
12 months MOT.
No advisories.
Woohoo.

Just got new front discs (eBay no. 191356879173) good price I thought, with Ferrodo pads for my civic calipers, part no.1505.

12 months MOT again.
This car just keeps going on and on.
