Apologies if it's a re-post. I searched but didn't find it.

I'd give a kidney for a car like that, absolutely beautiful, I like the fact the owner let him detail his Aston as well, some people are loaded.

Is it normal for detailers to not take the wheel off when cleaning the arch or inside of the wheel?

reedy107

Bloody good effort that lad.

Those arches are fat as **** !

Are they WRC arches ??

Nope, standard 22B arches. They cost a 'wee' bit more than normal though.

reedy107

You dont say

Just done a quick one on ebay and there is a 99 model for 30k !! Wow.

But they r lovely. What does the 22B stand for ?

22 is in reference to the engine size no?

It was only a two day detail to be fair, so corners would need cutting somewhere.

With a full job, I'd expect the car to be on stands to get the wheels completely cleaned and coated, and wheel arches cleaned/protected.

reedy107

Only a 2 day

WOW !

Can easily spend two days with corrective polishing alone!

Nice. Fog light surrounds are missing though.

Theres speculation as to what 22B actualy means.
Some think the 22 is engine size and B for bilstein (22b had bilstein suspension like the legacy spec b)
22B is also hexadecimal for 555.

Truely stunning car, I'll own one in the future. Could of bought one a few years ago for 20K but the car just wasn't right.

reedy107

Hexa wtf ?
What do u mean there.

Cool fact there on the hexadecimal, never knew that

As Matty says 22b is hexadecimal for 555. The 555 connection comes from the 555 brand of cigarettes, the parent company being BAT (British American Tobacco) which owned and sponsored BAR (British American Racing). Dave Richards who set up Prodrive also had a stake in BAR. Hence the 555 connection.

Lovely! I think owning one would be a bittersweet affair, you'd want to drive it everywhere but you'd feel guilty when you do drive it.
Are those stainless grills standard?

reedy107

I just tried to read that wiki link and now my head hurts!!!

I think the hex conversion is 2 x256 + 2 x16 + 11
