Default Couldnt clean the bug so...

The Bug is in the bodyshop having the doors resprayed after some clown drove into it in Tesco. With nothing to wash i broke out the 'ornament' AKA Mams 2.5 V6 probe. Although generally in good nick (averages approx 600 miles a year) there were alot of paint defects.






My mate also brought over his wife's Audi TT V5 turbo. Nice bit of kit but a killer to drive is you more than 7st soaking wet




See what not having my car is doing to me...

HDR is High Definition Range. Iste result of taking several photos all at different exposures so that you get the maximum amount of detail. The cars dont appear any more 'shiny' but it does give a better visual on depth of colour and definition.

hope that helps a little

Unfortunately he hit it in Tesco Carpark and drove off. The security guards couldnt have been more helpful honestly, i may aswell have been talking to the bag of play sand behind me. Even wrote a letter off to Tesco to digress my disgust. They sent me back a letter and, wait for it. £1 gift card as consolation.

So i have had the doors repainted and got it back today.

This is coming from the man whose car suffers with a dust phobia.
