anyway a week after owning it i started my modding to make it look better and how i wanted it to look

i brought some new wheels and Styleing bits, P1 Splitter, STI v6 Spoiler Etc.

after a week or so it looked like this (getting there)

Some of the best visual money if not the best I spent on mine was a pro paint correction when we had a group buy for a detailer, I know how difficult it is to keep that colour looking fresh.

Here's a taster,

Might pm you for some tips if you dont mind mate.

Silver Scooby Sport 01 July 2009 07:20 PM

You've cracked it already then :cool:

This colour is a sunshine colour for sure and when cleaned well it really stands out, recently I used dodo juice on mine and it seems to like the paintwork... it's all about budget talking waxes so lets not go there :lol1:
