Trophy. Detailed.

[The Chubby Pirate]

FLOL @ the brush on the paint, hahahaha

This was the last thing I read before I went to sleep last night and I dreamt about it, was near on a nightmare lol! I'm not even a detailer, but the brush had some deep physiological movement haha.

 

[Italian_Job]

Good effort

this works great on grime, grease, tar etc

You forgot the drill/sander head for getting all the scratches out the paintwork, highly recommended.. Half arsed detailing job indeed.

Ha ha, im just glad that my little car makes everyone giggle like i do

To be fair, the brush was only used on the lower door area, & on the sills, i prefer to use a scouring pad on the bits higher up, can get a bit more pressure on the paint to really lift all that dirt off ...

i dont understand why you took the seats out? strange thing to do !

looks good but needs recaros!!

Reacro's came out last year when i fitted the Bimarco Futura's - sold them for £750 which paid for the new seats/harnesses/subframes/steering wheel & some R888's. Priorities :race:

In addition, & to be entirely honest, whilst they look lovely, they are actually sh1t seats - the standard 1*2 ones are far more supportive for both road & occasional track use. The bolsters are deeper so you dont just roll onto the gearstick going round roundabouts! That & the fact that well, id rather spend £750 on fuel, or toilet brushes/brillo pads ...

Haha! I love you Dave!

You are really funny sometimes!

I'm 50/50 split on trendlines,

The good:

They look awesome
Provide good shoulder support whilst on B road blasts (atleast I found)


The bad:
The base has absolutely no support at all
They're just as heavy as standard seats

The best recaro's on the market today are the ones fitted to the clio 197/200's IMHO

 

[rob_sri]

as a bit of a detail freak.. i feel violated.. gonna go sit under a cold shower fully clothed with a bottle of meggys gold class after seeing this! should be named 3 guys 1 trophy lol

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

Good effort, but i find washing only half the car with lynx has a better effect

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

^FLOL!!!!!!

 

[VIICarCare]

crying inside

 

[TimR26]

LOL nice write up Dave

 

[Tony Hunter]

This cleaning lark is becoming an obsession,you need treatment Dave.

 

[JCC]

Just sat and LOL'd all the way through this thread. Please tell me you've posted it over on the Trophy forum? Bricks will be shat.

 

[plymcl172]

seeings you took the seats out when you sell it bet they wont believe you its a 'real Trophy'
I know you said why you took them out but I still dont get it ! thats what makes the Trophy the Trophy !

 

[EllD90]

When it's a Trophy that's worth f**k all, what difference does a pair of Recaro's make!

 

[Sir_Dave]

Nope, what makes a Trophy a 'Trophy' is the Sachs suspension & pink paint

If i want another set of Recaro's ill buy the alcantara ones out of the later Evo 8. Nom nom nom.

 

[.Adam.]

LOL at Recaro's being what makes a Trophy a Trophy.

 

[Budgie]

Sachs are the only thing properly worth having off a Trophy. They're immense.

 

[SBV116]

Great effort! ha ha!

 

[Sir_Dave]

With all these pictures of clean Trophy's all over the forum i though i had better do something about mine!!!

So i also took some snaps, of what it looks like after 3 months of dirt :slap:

Need to do it again really, struggling to see out the side windows now ...

 

[Gally]

[Scrooge]

Not sure if we used the right rotary though, seemed to be quite abrasive

Oh, & it sparked.

 

[Budgie]

G3 and a decent cutting pad. Cuts out the claying, iirc.

That was pre-finishing, obviously. We're not butchers!
