sorry about the size differences, still finding my way around photobucket!

 

Gorgeous,

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

Brian.

 

that looks great

 

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

 

Very nice car.
Love the red color,mine is red too.
What size are the wheels?Is it a My99 or My00?

Vinc

 

Beautiful looking car mate

 

Vinc, look at his plate!!!!

 

vinc, it's a ukMY99 and the alloys are the 18" P1 alloy with 225/35/18 tyre.
here's a couple of pics



could do with some bigger disks though


cheers for the compliments guys

 

hmm those 18's looks sweet

also- the car looks fab.. think I will give the demon shine a go too. DBM shows up the dirt something chronic..

 

cheers mate,i think the demon shine stuff worked well coz i keep the car quite well waxed and it acted as a good 'top up', i'm still trying to figure out how it works though

 

I bet that is your pride and joy!

nice one m8! really shinny. kool

 

IT LOOKS SMART!IT LOOKS LIKE MINE

 

Yeh! like these matey!!

dave

 

well bought some 'demon shine' today and will test it out tomorrow IF the weather turns for the better

 

yeah, deffo need your brakes misty!

bloody hell your head must mash the windscreen every time you use those big buggers

 

Hi. Question about your front number plate. Is it legal to have a small plate?

Steve

 

hi steve, see it's your first post, welcome to scoobynet m8!

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!

 

Car looks ace mate.

 

cheers mate! but not at the moment it don't, frikkin' salty crappy roads

 

Looking Good!
