Thought I would get a thread up of the latest addition. Gave it its first clean today after buying it in Jan :).

Firstly the old ph1..

The pics seem to be dark so there a bit crap but you get the jist. Lots of plans for this after a few mechanical bits are sorted including coilovers a detail and new wheels.

Thanks for looking :).

Very clean! Love the colour, can't wait to own one.

Cheers mate it really is a nice colour, had a few comments from neighbours while out cleaning :)

paintworks looks better than my 200! Love RB .. Stunning car mate. what did you use ?

Lol cheers mate paintwork is okay but theres a few little marks here and there that need attending to and could do with a machine polish. I just washed it with some dodo juice btbm and gave it a coat of collinite 845 insulator wax. Very happy with the results just from a basic wash though and the collinite is just temporary until I stock up on some decent stuff, I must say it is very good stuff for the price though, gives pretty good results and beads really well.

Thats gorgeous mate, the rb is really growing on me, in some pics(not yours) it looks really light which doesnt make it look as deep/glossy/nice :)
 
  TTRS & V50
3rd RS, jeesus.

Should look reet good once on coilies. It's hard to pull off black wheels at standard height IMO.

Very nice Adam, as much as i like the high gloss black rims - the standard anthracite suits RB so well! Nice all the same!

Yeah I'm not a fan of the black either tbh so will be glad to get it on coilovers and I think I'll be going for some F1's possibly in a different colour which I haven't seen on here before.

looks good adam, don't break this one :rasp:

Lol yeah cheers I seem to have a habbit of doing that :(

If it happens again I'm buying a cheap -£500 rot box lol.
