f**king just wrote it all out and it will only show one picture but the rest as links, now matter what I do it won't show all the pictures just one, I've used the same code througout.

This V6 has been done over 2 days with a few weeks between so bare with me and the pictures.

I love Illiad Blue so it was brilliant to detail a V6 in this coulor, especially the rare ph1!!!

Craig Looks after his car very well so this wasn’t really a massive transformation, it was more getting it the best it could look and getting that Illiad to really POP! It went through two cleaning sessions but for the purpose of this write up I’ll treat it as one…

So Craig got it all dirty and brought it down…

I attacked the wheels first..

Then went at the car with RDS then foamed and two bucket with Hubiwash…

After washing came decon, Iron X, TarX, BH Clay with Berry burst lube…

Rinsed off, dab dried then took inside to assess paint thickness etc…

Bit thin mostly but not too bad, a nice hard paint too. On the first day I attacked it with Menz 2500 then today I went at it with my new CarPro Reflect, bloody good stuff actually, really like it, finished it off lovely.

Wiped the whole car down with Eraser then coated it with Reload, love this stuff aswell…

Did the exhausts with Britemax twins and 2500 paper, it’s an ok product…

Tyres dressed with Endurance and plastics were wiped down with Dressle.

And then finished....

So thanks for reading J

Really quite like it, very minimal dust, seriously good working time and finishes lovely. I really quite like it. I'm yet to use the other one, 'fixer', properly yet but reviews are good so far.

 

[Prestigechris]

I have them both but just haven't had chance to use them. Thanks mate

mopped?! Mopping is some flannel with a 2.99 moo head attached to an angle grinder getting happy with some g4 and f**king up the paintwork. This was not that.

Cheers for the comments guys, I'm very happy with it & the pictures Ant took.

A big thanks to Ant for doing it, he's done a fantastic job! :star:

 

[Scrooge]

No worries dude, it was a pleasure. Thanks for the drive out in it too! That noise!

Could you hear it over Craig yammering on about any bit of skirt that he passed?

 

[Scrooge]

Haha!

 

[cat171]

Lol!!

 

[BREMBO]

Looks awesome, will be doing this soon!

I have a Mk2 V6 spoiler but nore sure whether to fit or not.

 

[Scrooge]

I think this one needs one as it really sets the rear end off, not that this is bad looking from the rear by any means, easy to swap back come sale time too.

Were the Trophy struts not the only thing you need to fit one of these? And I'm sure they're cheap enough to come by.

 

[Scrooge]

Yep need the trophy struts or it connects with the roof. 1 series ones do the trick iirc.

Jacobs your man for talking them through.

He went through a lot of pain I think.

 

[BREMBO]

Yeh believe the BMW struts do the job, not sure if its the rear or back of a 1 series though?

Needs a respray or 6.

Lol, I bet you've got 50/50 weight distribution on yours now, what with all those front end resprays! iirc it's been touched more times than a Jim'll Fix It kid.

New bumper, so back to square one now! It's more like a boat with an outboard now!
