Looks lovely mate... are you doing the machine polishing yourself? If not I know of a good company in St Helens I can recommend - proper professional who takes paint depth readings etc. I can pass on his details if you like

It will be getting done when i get the front end repainted, but yes pass the details on as getting a quote wont do any harm:-)

My favourite New Age car, but 56k warnings are a bit 2004...

If it's anything like mine that won't be possible - they factory tinted glass

Thank you :-) I wish I could do the photos for the brochures!! :-)

I know... but i just couldnt resist!!!


Thanks for all the postive comments!

Dont get me wrong though the car does have some flaws! Even though the photos are pretty much straight out of the camera there is some blemish's that need to be rectified.... Stone chipping at the front is pretty bad, so that will be getting sorted in april.... Also the Fog light covers are pretty badly scraped which you can see in the shots, previous owner said they were stolen and these were the replacements...

The wheels could do with a refurb, but im changing them to PFF7's when i find a set and there is some shopping trolley dings on there too which will be pulled out when the chips are done...

Not to forget to mention that the lights are a little tired as well... but trying to find a genuine set BNIB or as close as possible is prooving harder than sourcing the PFF7's!!

One the whole though she isnt it bad shape and will hopefully be immaculate by june time if not sooner!
