Hello fellow car enthusiasts!

I'm Michael, your companion in the thrilling realm where passion for cars meets the artistry of powder coating. German cars, with their intricate designs and engineering marvels, have become my canvas for automotive adventures.

Each project is a captivating challenge, a puzzle waiting to be solved. It's not just about fixing cars; it's about unlocking their unique character and standing back to admire the craftsmanship.

Recently, I've ventured into the transformative world of powder coating. It's a meticulous process, a symphony of cleaning, prepping, coating, and curing, breathing new life into tired car parts. The vibrant metamorphosis is both an art and a science, requiring patience and skill.

Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or a curious learner, I'm here to guide you. Have questions about cars, restoration, or powder coating? Click on the contact tab, and let's start a conversation.

Join me on this journey of passion and discovery!

I found it easy to remove the old, damaged bulb - but I had real difficulty getting the new one in - twice the bulb came off the black plastic and dropped somewhere inside the back of the light!...so I lost two bulbs - damn it! i have one more spare to try and thought I'd watch a youtube video to see if I was doing anything wrong...no, it was the same method as MAC...but the gap at the back is soooo tight so i may have to remove the fuse box, as someone did below p.s...my local shop wanted to charge me £10 i'll let you know how i got on : )

On my radio i had to do the same but load the picture up in the picture app then i was given the option of use as car wall paper or screen wall paper then reboot and it was in the boot menu. I think also as long as the image is 1280 x 720 jpeg or png will fit... and i dont think you need to change the name as the unit just needs to know what image to use.
