Shiny flame red DCI Sport rep and not so shiny PH1 172 - (56k beware)

[Wests Renault]

Just got back from holiday to find that while i've been away (dad was house sitting) he has plumbed in an outside tap for me

This is the first time since moving house (about 3 months ago.......lol) that i've been able to wash the DCI.

So here it is - (WARNING: Long write up ahead)

• Bosch jetwash
• Super snowfoam
• Ixtar wheel cleaner
• Ixtar bug remover
• Mequires gold class shampoo
• Mequires lambs wool mitt
• Mequires stage 2 crystal polish
• Mequires foam pads

Stage 4 - Polish

Dried off with water magnet and then polished with megs stage 2

Stage 5 - Wax

Applied collinite wax and waiting for it to cure

Then it decided to rain!!

Stage 6 - Interior

Cleaned door shuts

And got the missus to do the hoovering (gold ole girl!)

Cleaned seats and carpets with turtle wax

All in all a productive afternoon. Only spent 3 hours in total from start to finish which I thought was pretty good considering the amount I got done.

Future plans for the DCI:

• Coilovers
• Spacers
• RS grille
• Colour coded door mouldings and door badges
• Black badges
• Black surround headlights

Was planning on washing the track car as well but couldn't be arsed so took some pictures anyway to show the disgusting state its in! Driven not detailed!!

Hope you like

The flamers come a long way. Is that supposed to be it hoovered out though? Tell her to get back out there and do it properly lol

Looks great tbh. Could do with some spacers up front and as said the RS grill.

Noticed you said about CCing the door mouldings personally i think they work as they are, especially with those rims. Whats it lowered on? sportlines?

 

[Bluebeard]

You went to all that effort and never cleaned the drivers footrest!

Best way to show how dirty the buckets are is to just let them sit, and the bubbles to die off. You'll end up with the water bucket looking rather black and the soap one looking pretty fresh

Tidy car anyways! The stance/lowness etc isn't right for me but it'll look alot better with coilovers wapped on spaced out.
