Thank you.... donated and glad to be apart of the family!!! i was actually thinking about painting my cladding, i am in the process of searching for how hard it is to remove it from the car... i have painted rims before and a whole bunch of other parts... so i was thinkign about making the cladding black black black!Quote:

5)heavier coat, dry 20 min
6) full coat, dry completely
7) clearcoat soft coat, dry 15 min
8) clear coat final coat, dry completely
9) paint torx bolts with a white paint
10) bolt back up
i think thats my goal... thats what i will be doing Jan 8th... my calender is packed with crap for my car until i start school the 20th of jan.
Sounds good, I would do a search though and make sure you like the final result of this. I debated about painting my cladding for the longest time, I also debating about chroming my torque screws in the cladding, but at the end of the day after looking at photo after photo of VX's with all the different option I was thinking on, the cladding still looks the best when it is freshly washed and treated with Back to Black or armor all or something similar. I am pretty sure the different colored screws you will end up not liking after a while, but you never know.Quote:

and as far as the abs goes i am getting the dealer to replace my pads... maybe thats the problem... but after than i hope it goes away but i will post the results... i was looking into the self code reading test and will attempt that if it doesnt go away. i disabled my abs on my formula and it never bothered me.. so i dont car to have it.
as far as the car goes it is in real good condition, i am glad i found one so close to me!
Sweet ride Brah...:cool:
Personally i don't believe it has any thing to do with the pads,the ABS sensor is located next to the battery & probably need to being replaced.Quote:

If the dealer tells you that's related to the pads he's lying.
Dealers are under law both,federal & state obligated & to sell all they vehicules with all safety features in pefcet working conditions.
They cannot sell you an vehicule with worn or broken seat belts,broken cat coverters or mufflers,they cannot even sell you a car with a blowed head light bulb & that has nothing to do with mileage.
so can i get him to correct the probelm?!?!Quote:

does the cladding ever shift to where you can see where you werent able to get it with paint... i was looking at a few other people and saw how they left the cladding on... i might leave it on because it would save an ace load of work and timeQuote:

If you need official info call the DMV & explain them the situation.
Probably he's talking about the claddind's flexibilityQuote:

Also at the same page scott (aka moncha ) (our great VX.info father) placed a huge & extended work shop manual with all info you can imagine.
Just go to the downlowads link at the very left of the screen & do click to follow up the process.
I hope you can benefit from the info there's located :)
Hey guys,what i did too my torx bolts i used the chrome bolt caps thats used for the lincens plate screws and they fit perfect in the holes,to keep the caps from comein off i used clear silcone to keek them on.
