Trophy PC'd - Ultra Shiny!

With the start of the summer weather appearing it was time to get the Trophy looking good again. The previous owner obviously had some kind of fascination with car washes judging by the swirlmarks in the paintwork :eek:

Having never PC'd a car myself I opted for the slightly lazyboy option and gave it to someone who knew what they were doing - Shine Detailing - www.shine-detailing.co.uk (aka Ady225 on here)

Some before pictures :

The end result is amazing.... if the sun is shining i'll get some scenic pictures done at the weekend to fully demonstrate just how good the paintwork has come up. The feel of the paintwork is much better than the finish after my last Trophy was permaguarded and Ady even managed to get the tar removed that had been supaguarded in!

Top notch stuff and a big thanks to Ady and Day for their hardwork in bringing this Trophy up to top notch levels of shinyness :approve: :approve: :approve:

Right, nows about as good a time to say hello to everyone than any other time so.... HI

I was in the Blue 182 you may of saw as i went up the Eastern Road I wondered if you guys were on here or not?

Your Cs's looked brillaint and brightened up my rather boring morning comute, esp the girl in the Yellow Cs who waved at me :D

I was wondering what was going on with two Cs running together?

Pic's look really good, may need to get mine done soon.

Ahh dont worry about it, your car looked mint, I'm forever taking the third lane to swoop around people in first heading up the Eastern Rd, its cause of those bloody concreate pillars :mad:.

I was in two minds whether i was gonna kinda follow you :eek: , as you two are the first convoy of Cs's i've seen, i guessed there was a meet on.

But then i thought "no Tom, its bloody storker'ish" and i turned off to where i work. LOL

Would of loved to come thou!

Is there any meets that happen round this way, the reason why i ask is that like all Cs owners i'm going down the obligitory route of lower on H&S, I/k and front carbon splitters, also looking to find the money to upgrade the seats but that may wait for a bit? and wanted to see others before taking the plunge!

Anyway im high jacking the thread, sorry folks
