What have you done to your P5 today?

[GordonJ]

Pulled all the wheels/tires off and repainted the calipers. It's been almost exactly 1 year since I last painted them, and for one light coat, it was holding up pretty well, but it definetly needed another touch-up.
Also went to the store and bought some duplicolor metalcast and thought about applying it to give the calipers a shinier look, but didnt like how it turned out on the tests.

Wanted to wash her and wax her today too, but its amazing how time consuming painting calipers can be. So I guess I'll wait until monday. :-\

The yellow rockblocker looks awesome on your car.

The yellow rockblocker looks awesome on your car.

Thanks! Believe it or not, you're the main reason I decided to go for it. I found an old thread started by you where you showed off your blue rockblockers and smoked tails, and it looked awesome.
So I tried some of the fogs out first just to see how the yellow on yellow looked, liked it, and went ahead with the headlights.
Now I think I'll go ahead and get some smoked tails and I'll be all set. (thumb)

i hate parking lots!

i feel ya man. i parked in the in&out parking lot and left with a dent from the car door that was next to me. i had a feeling that was gonna happen, but what can ya do...

 

[quicksilvermp5]

im still pissed as of right now... knowing that there is a big dent on the car juz makes me crazy... the thing too is that i parked 3 empty spaces from the next car to avoid being bombarded with unintentional dents and dings but s*** still happened... take note, that was the first dent i ever had ever since i bought the car brand new.

Anytime if I see a cart anywhere near my car, I get nervous. No matter what I'm doing, I go out and move it.
It sucks too because I work at a grocery store, so there's no avoiding the damn things.
