Detailed RB 200 - *Warning - Pic Heavy*

[James1470]

I took yesterday off, and gave the 200 a detail for the first time since i bought it.

chappers was nice enough to guide me in the direction of some decent products, and I think I done alright considering i've never done it before!

ooh and also got me some ''RS'' centre caps, as the silver centre caps on black wheels was driving me mad.

anyway, heres the results, as they rolled off my camera, sorry if the pics are all over the shop

 

[Clart]

Any chance of some more pics?

 

[Bobby.]

Lol

Any chance of some more pics?

Seriously though that looks properly mint, good job.

 

[Sam]

[James1470]

Any chance of some more pics?

Haha that's just a quarter of them, took loads I know. But I couldn't help myself

 

[VIICarCare]

Looks mighty mintage!

 

[Scott H.]

As said in the detailed thread, that looks beautiful!

 

[James1470]

must admit it took me all day 1st time I've properly done any car! I'm chuffed with the outcome ... Just hope it stays nice for CSS

 

[Chapppers11]

No reason why it won't, wash it with SN and go over with the Red Mist and it will look as good, if not better at CSS.

 

[James1470]

Hope so I'll probably give it a wash next weekend then before I set off for CSS

 

[Fletcher]

That looks great.

 

[Jb40k]

RB is such a stunning colour in the right lights! Nice work!

 

[R-Sport.]

Looks lovely

needs projectors- should have been standard instead of those blue bus lights

S

 

[James1470]

Yup I know but the mrs won't let me throw money at it... Haha got a triumph in the garage needs restoring 1st

 

[Jimbo_M]

Absolutely mint mate! I have an itch for a 200 soo bad lol

 

[Harpham]

RB is such an amazing colour when freshly detailed. Looks great!!

 

[.Steve]

Looks great! As I've said before, easily the best colour going

 

[James1470]

[jim cook]

[Silent_Scone]

[JD]

Can you take this thread down please you're giving me a crisis.


Thumbs!

haha why the crisis?

 

[rs 1an]

the speedlines look nice with black centres, get some silvervision bulbs only cheap and a cup spoiler, i like the cs12 position i placed ours over the cs tax disc in black, look forward to seeing it in the flesh at cs12, it will prob rain on the way

 

[James1470]

yea i bet theres nowhere to wash it either haha. my black 197 rep has a cup spoiler, I don't think i'll have on on this to be honest, although i do like them!
and yep, suppose if it rains the dead flys will wash straight off

 

[markerboy2002]

very nice!! love that colour (fiancée has a 182 RB)

 

[Gaz_]

Top job, but them RS caps?! have a word! They look like something you'd pick up in Halfords!

Rattle can from paints4u in the ixell black, whip out the diamonds, quick key, few coats and bobs your uncle. Cost me a tenner at best

 

[Stu-]

James, You've missed a bit.... Haha.


Looking good though. See you Sunday?

 

[James1470]

Haha no I didnt you f*ck! And yup we'll come up..

 

[Knuckles]

Wait... You clean your cars? :rasp:


Looks great mate don't tell the mrs you've swapped any parts... Would she notice?

 

[JoshOm3]

Absolutely mint mate! I have an itch for a 200 soo bad lol

Same. Scared they won't be as fun though.

Looks stunning mate. Well done.

 

[James1470]

This is unreal fun, specially now im used to driving it!

And I've not swapped any parts Scott ^^

 

[Christopher]

Great effort mate! It's nice to see a Racing Blue one in a similar spec to mine... and without that awful chav spoiler.

 

[Peteappo]

good job. what cleaning products did you use. im thinking of doing the 182 in a couple of weeks when my clay bar arrives as it hasnt ever been done

 

[Chapppers11]

Great effort mate! It's nice to see a Racing Blue one in a similar spec to mine... and without that awful chav spoiler.

Behave.

 

[James1470]

Haha yep! Dislike the spoiler, I like yours but I'd need a new tailgate?! ...
I thought I best get it all clean for CSS because otherwise it would look a mess next to yours! Haha

 

[Christopher]

You can just laugh at my Le Mans stonechips. Lol.

Yeah, GT Spoiler is a factory only job, as you need the non-RS tailgate.

K-TEC sell one that's similar though, Elia I think it's called.

 

[Revels]

No spoiler ftw.

Would you fit a gay shelf to Jessica Alba's rear? No. Exactly.

 

[James1470]

Yep I noticed that spoiler, don't fancy one on it though.. Think I'm just Gunna leave it standard and spend my money keeping it clean and shiny is Chris Pask or seb heading over to CSS?

 

[James1470]

good job. what cleaning products did you use. im thinking of doing the 182 in a couple of weeks when my clay bar arrives as it hasnt ever been done

Theres a post up in the detailing section with all the info mate
