Can't tell exactly what it is.

E Class? C Class? AMG wheels though.
Also a pretty lucky escape! Heroics from the copper!

It's just comical!
Everytime I see/hear it, I laugh.
The best thing about it, is how much it offends people, like when they're filling up at Asda when we leave KK's and you can see them like :eek:
FLOL!
FK1000p
Any good car detailing place.
Clean Your Car is the first I thought of online:

Tbh, the sealant isn't 100% needed, I'm pretty nerdy about car cleaning, and keeping it clean.
For just doing the...
About a month or so.
Nope, not even slightly, and it has had awful rain and the recent heatwave, still looks great.
Plastikote Satin Black
I got mine from B&Q:

Didn't bother.
G101 (all purpose cleaner) to make sure it was 100% clean.
Dried it.
Sprayed it, 2 coats, then 2 coats of FK1000p (just a sealant to allow the dirt to run off it better)
I sprayed mine satin black with some Plastikote spray paint.
Came up well:

He does sandblast it.
It's just the powdercoat won't have the same finish as a proper paint job.
I might see if he will just sandblast if for me, as per Pete.M's suggestion.
Mine does the exact same thing.
Being the lazy bar steward that I am, I have never got round to straightening it!
I will be doing it this weekend though, I think it's just a case of the mounts under the car need sliding to suit don't they???
I have the Janspeed.
Fantastic tbh, sounds pretty OEM, but has a little bit more rasp to it.
I'll be decatting mine soon though, so it may not be as quiet!
I did that, then when I took the bumper off I broke the hole I made for the zip ties.
At the moment I will have about 2 foot of zip ties if I keep going!
May as well replace, want it to be a good one, not a bodged one ;)
Yeah one of mine folds down at speed and gets dragged along the road until I stop and it flips back up.
Fingers crossed got hold of a new one!
I'm worried it will flip off and go into the cambelt :(
Very nice order!
This weekend I will be doing the first of 3 details in prep for FCS.
This one will be a full decon, inc wheels off.
Amigo.
2 coats of Glausr.
Will also be straightening and cleaning the exhaust and sorting the arch liners out.
2 of 3 will be top up of Glasur, and the engine...
