How are they looking guys, would maybe consider one in a few months as a little bargain but prices still seem to be a tad high-ish, depending on condition of course. Looking to spend around £1000 ish.
I'd consider, Titanium first, Black, flamer possibly but not fussed about that, sorry DJW! :o
Just a few afters and some thoughts on the coating again. Should mention that correction ended up around 95%, the paintwork for the miles is in superb condition. There are no deep marks like you'd expect. Was very surprised.
Double wipe down with Spies Hecker panel wipe...

Hi chaps, i've been looking forward to this one... just a bit! Martin (Noddie) was kind enough to trust me with his cracking Twingo RS a while back and asked me if I would give his brand new Fiesta ST a detail once he picked it up. Gadly!
Now not much in the way of process pictures. With other...
Hi chaps just a few pics of Foz's lovely Golf R. Really is a lovely looking thing and great colour for it. Apologies before hand. My phone died, having some charging issues! Fml!

I wanted a better title... i'm slacking :(
4 cars, 12 months... and here's another! A tad excited about this one for some reason although I do feel about 18 driving it.. i'm currently not giving a f**k though.
Uber spec, most sought after colour, 170bhp, £200 a year insurance, 40mpg (46/47 on...
Restoration? Maybe not the right word. Ignore the state of the place it was a bit messy last week but I hope the pictures speak for themselves about the quality of our work.
No at this stage I would say that the job went from bad to worse, initially it was in for complete stonechip removal...
Title was a mouthful, just how I like it...
Anyway, little family favour this one and I got to spend a day and a bit with the car, detailing and a nice drive. It's a simply epic car, really just does everything so well, except pass a petrol station.
I'll let the pics do all the talking...
Yes please.
I love the saloon because it's rare and if anything quite cool because it's not an avant. Possibly not as good looking as the avant but very purposeful all the same. Sadly I don't think Black suits this one but none the less...
Déjà vu innit?
Anyway last year I decided in my wisdom to sell the best car I have owned... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?642965-Ford-Racing-Puma-467-%A35500
In hindsight it was still the right decision as they were at their height price wise before slumping a tad...
The OH is trying to back up her phone to iTunes incase she gets a new S4. Long story.
Anyway it's only recognising the phone as a camera so not backing up or recognising the phone. Any easy fix?
More a general question as I know people who have swapped hard springs for lower but softer springs. Of course I understand the work the dampers have to do increases shortening the life of it.
I understand some track people actually prefer that? Softly sprung with hard damping.
I'm guessing...
I was lucky enough to see this thing today. The boss is still considering changing his 997T.
Not to everyone's taste and the panny roof isn't to my taste but still looks good.
This one is a Carrera 4S and filled full of extras including the ducktail spoiler off the classic.

Been discussed a lot in here but thought it deserved a thread, no not in the detailing section.
Anyway everyone wants to own a shitter, one they can leave anywhere and abuse...
No not me sadly but it is the one we painted...

Only pics seem to be on FB atm but you don't have to be signed in. Stunning stuff from Craig!
Hi chaps! Ally was kind enough to trust me to detail his stunning Monaco Blue 172, it's genuinely the best condition 172 i've ever been in or driven, I had to check the mileage at one point as it felt nearly new.
Just a few shots so my apologies, never get the time for a decent write up these...
Hi chaps just a few afters of my Cousin's new steed. Superb little car in a very rare and expensive colour. Flips so nicely in the right light, greens, purples, grey. Something different. Shame the sun didn't come out to play.
Anyway I thought i'd give it some love with him learning some more...
The plan was to do a write up but the picture with the other camera are that bad I can't use them. Apologies chaps. Look out for my correction one in the spring/summer with some Cquartz protection.
Full decon, Tardis, Iron X, Zaino Clay with VP Citrus Bling Clay Lube. People really still...

The website isn't sorted yet but a bit of background. Our bodyshop and myself have been in contact with a local guy for the past 2 years helping shape and paint certain items for some American buyers etc.
I've used his demo on a racing game and flight simulator...

Nick imo is the best in the business. Helps when you own a bodyshop aswell! ;)
Check out his Tiguain write up also. The way cars should be painted and polished.

Pick it up for work actually but noticed it on DW and my God is it good! Very impressed. Not sure how it will work in total day light but inside in the shade it works very well. Wouldn't go wrong anyway.
Oh and they sell it in...
Similar drop?
The reason I ask is i've seen Mat's Trophy on 2118s i've always love the wheels anyway but worried about the 15s looking under-wheeled with just springs.
It's becoming a ball ache.
I know Aucky's looked a tad garish and I wouldn't normally paint any of that stuff but, my gearknob one needs painted anyway as it's worn so I have new decals all round including a Trophy one for the N/S dash strip. So can't be gloss Black.
Pretty much Capsicum...
Thought i'd fire up a thread while i'm still collecting some samples. It's just some fun and will be for my car possibly will some small samples dished out. It will be in a joking way, the ultimate wax. :o
So my list so far.
Basis of the wax will be Bilt-Hamber Finis-Wax. It's a stunning...
