Gorgeous,
What do you polish and clean her with - and, own up, how long did you spend cleaning it before you took the photos?

cheers guys
quite pleased with how the pics came out,my first digi camera!
i normally use autoglym polish and every now and again the autoglym gloss top coat, but when i took the photos i used some stuff i got with a free coupon out of lax power, 'demon shine'.
wash your car, mix a capfull of the stuff in a bucket of clean water and use a jug to slowly pour it over the car
. what a load of old bollox i thought, but bugger me it works! the only fault is when it rained on the car later it streaked the windscreen a bit, but the beading and shine is still there and the cars been thru all the crappy roads. it's probably neat silicon and will be a pain if i need any paint work done, but if you're in a rush give it a go.
so to answer your question mate, about 1 1/2 hours! took me longer to clean the wheels+tyres than the car

Nice motor mate.
My advice would be to colour code the mirrors as they stick out like a sore thumb! :P
BTW, doesn't your boost gauge obstruct your temp and fuel gauges?

yeah, want to paint the side skirts/rear skirt bits and mirrors and door handles at some time if i can ever afford it! should have left them dirty!
as for the gauge, this pic is taken from my eye level,
i made the pod it goes in to sit so i can see the temp gauge if it rises above normal and i can see the fuel ok, i think there's some LED symbols on a panel behind it, but i've never really noticed these anyway

as for the plate, might be legal on a bike
, as soon as you alter the size or spacing of the lettering it's illegal. i think the same goes for the size of the plate itself.but legal is a bit dull ain't it
? so i had this made up at a local sticker shop, they made up the letters to the size i wanted on a normal size plate and i cut it down at work.but i only use it for show purposes (honestly officer!) and have the original in the boot that i've 'forgotten' to put back on.
plus it looks tons better
hope this helps mate!
, frikkin' salty crappy roads
