Arches Detail and AP Brakes!

[Ali]

Your going to be sick of this car before i've even posted pics of the finished article!

Arches had about 3yrs worth of dirt, Again Virosol'd to remove dirt, aggitated with a washin up brush.
Not finished Dressin the arches yet, will do that when the car goes on the road in august.

Calipers took ages, i was happy to spend the time as they look brillliant.

HT Metalic for the disk centers and Black caliper (Gloss) Paint for the calipers. Got the AP grafix made up and then the whole caliper was laquered a few times!

Final results were Ace! - (I didn't kerb the wheel, blame the b**ch who used to own the car!)

I had federal's on the rear on the impreza, bridgestone potenza's on the front, and they where just as good and a 1/3 the price.
