that's fairly low then, even with just a mild drop on those TMR springs

Maybe coils are the way to go to get the best height

Repaired the scratch left by a certain someone on my roof by keying it a very long time ago.
I used Autoglym Paint Renovator which I had sitting around unopened for sometime. I just never got around to using because the car was either dirty and it's was a long time since I had time to do a full detail on the car.
The scratch in some area was deep enough in some areas to catch your fingernail if you ran your nail across the scratch. The scratch was quite noticeable in most light conditions as it was on the drivers side and would catch your eye every time you'd enter the driver's door.

There is only so much Autogylm super resin can do, so Paint Renovator to the rescue. I was mighty impressed with the outcome!
I'm gonna attack the superficial fingernail scratches just behind the door handle.

I also washed the car, clay barred each panel nearly 3 times. it's been a good 6 months since I've had time to do a full detail! :shock: Every panel is near mirror finish.
......Tmrw will be another Autoglym shampoo, then Autogylm super resin polish and Autoglym extra Gloss protection to seal it all. :)
Then to attack the interior....

Shannon take your car back to your dealer and get the rear gas struts and spoiler replaced. That mark on the top of the bumper should polish out too. Make an appointment with the dealer for the guy from Mitsubishi Australia head office who approves all warranty claims. I have met him several times and found him to be very helpful. Meet him face to face though. Dont just leave the car at the dealer for the day. I am sure once you talk to the guy all will be repaired or replaced.

evolx08 - those rays lugs suit the black rims - may have to get a set myself.

I started sanding back the VRX rims I got on Friday, and hope to have them painted by next weekend

Those rays lug nuts wont suit the VRX rims due to having a different seat. The rays lugs are a conical seat whereas the VRX rims require a flat seat.
