First detail of the Black 106 Rallye S2

[darren_rallye]

I gave the Rallye a good hand polish today. I didn't intend to go OTT, as I have a PC in the post, and planned to have a major session when that arrived, but I still ended up outside for 5hrs+.

Car
106 Rallye Series 2. Left hand drive imported from Germany. Only 3 Black S2s in the UK, as far as I know. Spec: Bilstein, Yoko semi slicks, standard 8v engine.

Method:

Rinse with Karcher
Wash with Megs 62
Clay with Megs clay bar and Quik Detailer
Rinse and wash again
Dry with Megs water magnet
2 polishes with Megs Scratch X
2 polishes with AG SRP
30mins of AG EGP for protection
1 layer of Megs Nxt Tech for looks
Trim courtesy of Megs Endurance gel.

lovely mate, really good job.

 

[Bluebeard]

Why did you buy a LHD car?

I stand corrected. Doesn't have the great quality materials of a Renault though!

 

[darren_rallye]

Why did you buy a LHD car?

To get the black one. I'm pretty sad.

It's actually pretty good though.

 

[C.slicker]

That is an amazing finish for any car, let alone an R reg!!!

I wasn't mocking you mate, I was just curious. But now you mention it, buying a Left hooker just because its black.................:quiet:

Nice car BTW, always wanted one.

Now that is tenting material, I love the Rallyes and love black cars the combination leads to *bing*

I understand. As far as I know it's the only 8v black S2 in the country. There are two more but they've been 16v'd. To me the car is pretty special. It's in stunning condition, I know some previous owners, so I had to have it.

LHD is better for the weight balance, pedal box, and being on the outside of roundabouts. It's only a 106, so I'm not much further to the left.

Just posted over on the PSOOC, looks good. Nice rare car.

The NXT will have removed some if not all of the EGP unfortunatley as it contains cleaners in it.

Fine example matey, love Rallye's!

 

[artdealer]

Looking good Darren. I used to do all that at your age LOL. Chuckling at Brand86 original comment about the inside - it really is mint.

 

[Renault_Boy01]

Wow amazing it looks like a 07 reg !!!!

 

[Ricardinho]

heeeyyy! i was gonna buy that car 5 months ago! got my 306 instead, was super cheap iirc

 

[cava83]

so clean

Well done mate, now I have to get that and a clio 182 !

 

[FincH]

Stunning!

Always been a closet 106 fan and imo the Rallye is the coolest!

Fine example there dude. You must be proud

Thanks, Steve. I will look after it.
I like the LHD already, and my GTi sold to the first viewer, so everything worked out well in the end.
Thanks again.

is this the one that Allvehicles had for sale?

such a great shine on a car that is 9 / 10 years old, love it

 

[artdealer]

Aye, t'was mine. The car is a little gem. It would be a great car even without all the mods done. All seems to have worked out well with the Gti sale too.

This may be the last time you can thank Gordon Brown for something Darren

 

[JR]
