Advanced Autobody on Sandown Road in Derby, just off Ascot Drive are the dogs. Look after many exotic cars including Paul Daniels Astons, loads of prosches and ferraris etc. Definately worth a quote, very high quality work.
That result is with Sonus stuff, I'm waiting for my Menzerna polish through the post.
Davey - yeah I know, I think i've managed to persuade my cousin to buy a wash mit!
Did the fornt of my cousins Astra Cab today with my PC, was in a sorry state at the start as you can see, but the results on the bonnet are awesome!

Well impressed with it so far, Vauxhall paint is harder than i thought!
I see what you're saying but at the same time it would cost a firtune to someone having it done.
I'd say theres probably £20 in materials used, so that would be £50 to cover time, which is ok for 5/6 hours.
It just keeps me busy, i get bored very easily so fills the time and gives me some...
I must admit I was like that at first, wondering why people charged so much, but once you start you realise how time consuming it is.
I enjoy it though to be honest, gets me out of the house earning a bit of cash!
^ well i'm only starting off so need to start cheap!
Cheers, doesnt really show how much better it is really, there were a few scuffs on the bumper that looked shite, then they are completely gone after PC'ing them, so made a huge difference!
I'll remember to do some before and after pics of...
Erm, not as bad as the pics show to be honest but most silver clios i've seen seem to have a bit of a mismatch on the wings.
Well price mainly, and no he didnt buy it as a 182, it was advertised as a 172, plus the fact it's an 03 so couldnt be a 182 anyways!
Yeah there will be plenty up don't worry!
Can't wait to drop it 100mm on some coilies, just need to wait a few months to build the funds up again after buying it!
Haha, the title is right!
Its got:
Cup spolier
182 wheels
182 rear bumper and replica exhaust
matched inlets and polished engine
k&n typhoon induction kit
lowered on springs but i don;t know which ones.
think that's all!
Well the clio is going in about 90 minutes, so I took a few pics whilst having a break from my mates car!
PC'd it a few weeks ago and it still looks really nice I think, happy with the results!
Well for him mates rates, but doing a similar job, i.e going over the whole car twice and waxing by hand I'd charge around £70. Depending on how bad the paint is in etc.
Cheers, took me about 5-6 hours, but i did give my car a quick wash in between and didnt rush it.
Thanks, I think it has...
Well been meaning to do it for a bit and finally got round to it!
Used my Sonus stuff, ranging between the 3 pads and polishes to give it a good finish. Then finished off with megs carnuba wax by hand.
Managed to get rid of a huge amount of marks and scratches, but like a tit i never did any...
