Default major first detail (impressed)

The time had come to give her a full detail, ive owned her for a few weeks and have washed a couple of time but the quick job from the garage i bought her from was starting to wear off. I spent a whole day with cleaning products at hand inc dodo,zaino,autoglym and meguiars. First was a good wash and dry, next was a good going over with the clay then a real good polish and finaly a wax and sealent and tyre shine. I will let the pics do the talking and im more than happy with the result on a 15 year old car.






only mod ive done so far is the smoke back lights but things planned are black rims,possible smoked windows,morrette headlights and sti 6 rear spoiler (on its way thanks to jeff).

Looks mighty fine. I like Collinite or Megs #16 on red. What did you use?

I agree, looks great just as it is. Quiet enough for the wee one to sleep in the back too!

Sell the silly shopping trolley handle that's on it's way and buy a type r front lip. The v4 rear spoiler looks spot on. I'd leave the wheels as they are too. Looks superb.

well i decided to put the shopping trolley handle on as it got described (v4jdmsti) lol and i think it looks alot better (or will do whhen its been cleaned again). Not to many more mods planned as i dont want to spoil it. Good and bad comments welcome.
