  1. Actually just looked at my bike one that I did first and doesn't look to require it anymore (they probably leave that to the vin place)

    *maybe of note is the plate needing to be in "mint" condition,  I maaay have used a low res photo of my bike one and painted over a big Crack so it wasn't so obvious

  2. Yeah they don't seem to worry about that, I've done a bike and a car

    Only reply before approving me was asking for a photo of the back plate (that was the back plate i sent them just weird looking citroen so probably couldn't tell)

  3. Re black plates 

    Photos of them on the car (so they can tell its 2 diff plates) with patinad screws  and a screen shot of  car jam should suffice

    Photo of the  chassis number if still there

  4. Hmm some googling and

    "after some Digging i found out that the active ingredient in iron x is ammonia thioglycate " perming solution "
    With this in mind i decided to uphold a little experiment. I went down to the local hairdresser suppliers and bought a liter bottle of perming solution " pay careful attention its for normal hair and contains ammonia thioglycate as some are herbal and have different chemicals in them "

    any way I payed £8.49 for a liter and Diluted it 50/50 with normal tap water Some say you can dilute it 2-1 2= water 1-ammonia ......

    I then sprayed it very cautiously on my mothers civic wheels " she was going nuts in case it went wrong " within seconds a stream of purple began removing bedded in brake dust i was amazed " wish i had taken a picture  " a little agitate with a brush and a hose off and they were gleaming

  5. How could you reject a face like that!

    / should of been clearer I'm after a brake dust cleaner for (painted) alloy wheels

    That acid is the active ingredient that turns ferrous stuff red in what I imagine is over price and fairly watered down mag cleaners 

     

    Ie $20 for 500ml

    Sds says 10% acid, 5% alcohol, >60% water

    So 20 bucks for a shot glass of acid.....

    cycleworks muff

    No muff too tuff

    Actually I just installed my one

    It almost fit, the spacing for the head studs was too narrow so dremalled them out to fit

    Then it was touching the foot peg mount but sorted that with a hammer and a punch 

    Sounds good tho!
