Quick question. On my MOT I got advised to under-seal my car. I have the spray under-seal, which parts should I spray?

All of it, did he just mention it to you or was it a recorded advisory? Underseal has nothing to do with the mot just

But to put it on clean the underside and anywhere its cracked or broken sand it down and then just applie the underseal to.the areas and just a quick coat over the old underseal to freshen it up
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Just something he said. I had a massive hole under the drivers seat which needed welding before the MOT so just advice to stop something like that in the future. Cheers

How much tint spray will be enough for rear lights. Found a 200ML spray for £3 on eBay. I'm not after a full solid black but 200ML dosnt sound much

I was thinking of the film at first, a red one so the lights blend into the car but if that can would be enough, can't complain for £3

Still waiting for a dry day on my week off to paint my calipers and not one yet! :( Just wondering cos I have no axle stands will I have to do one side, let it dry then do the other or will I get away with doing one, putting the wheel straight back on for the other
