Detailed Porsche Carrera GT and Lambo Gallardo

[Scutch]

As you may have noticed, I've been trawling the DW and also getting links off Tez.

Now, fair enough, I can understand the logic behind detailing a car, especially one as stunning as the Porsche GT. But to have it completely resprayed before hand? Wow.

This is just stunning :

Would anyone pay for this treatment for their own car? Like said in the other Evo thread, it'll probably be ruined on the way home. Would make for some lovely photo's though :star:

Also, thats me done for the day on that site.

if you can afford a 312k car, then you can afford about 5k for a respray. that equivalent of it costing about 100 quid to have my car resprayed. lol

p.s. do some work

Its not ruined once you have driven it.... Its all about protection really. The rain just falls of the car. Its so easy to clean for months after they have been detailed. And when decent products have been used the shine stays there for months to....

 

[Scutch]

Yeah thats a fair point. But even so...

p.s. Not a f*cking chance.

That Lambo is pure p**n !!

I don't get the porsche either tbh, couldn't they just have bought a black one instead ??

I was thinking more of driving through a field full of sh*t once it was done.



Hmm... lot of money for a clean car though. Wonder how much it would actually cost the average joe to clean it to that effect?

Local polish (as in the country) dudes with a sponge, costs a fiver. Job done

On average i think most will agree its around £500 - £550

Some alot more some alot less

I think the waiting lists for those sort of cars are so long he probably just thought to hell with that I'll have the silver one that is available now and get it reprayed in the future, or maybe he just fancied a change of colour after a year but wanted to hang onto the car, £5k is probably small change to him anyway. Plus it looks 10 times better.

If I had the money I'd respray a Mk1 Vee in Black, I've never seen a black MK1 outside of GT4.

How much did the guy off EVO mag spend on his respray? Lovely motor, fav sounding car of all time.

 

[Darren]

i love washin cars only reason i dont do it for a job is cos its w**k pay at a delears, anybody ever want there car doing tho for not even half the price

 

[Ian_182]

Theres no way you would get a full resparay from porsche for 5k.Try doubling it and then some

 

[Fred@BTM]

the yellow EVO car was a £10K respray

Yep been there, worn the t-shirt.

I'd end up with wet shoes all day or wear boots which make driving the cars awkward. The sponge was always frozen to the bucket in the winter mornings and i remember cringing when i saw other valeters 'cleaning' their shammy with a jet wash on the floor before swirling it all over the customers car.

Oddly enough I miss that job some days though.

i was thinking that porsche would charge alot but it would be to porsche spec

 

[DebV6]

Love the Lambo!! If I had the money to buy one then I'd definitely pay the money to get it cleaned properly!

Not sure on the logic of respraying the gt though, why not just buy it in that colour to begin with??

Because then people wont know how absurdly rich you are.

Oh dont get me wrong it would be mint and inspected by 15 people ,but yes you will pay

Black CGT is easily the best car on the planet, I think the different colour wheel caps are so 1990s TSW Chav though!

 

[Ian_182]

I would love one.especially as mint as that

 

[Ash87]

the lambo is immense!
