Well i thought i best give the car a good machine polish, so away i went!

Yes i know its got speedlines, yes i know its got a GSi kit

I'm not liking the exhaust, it sounds nice, but i'm not a fan of the twin pipes......plus it doesnt sit tight enough to the bumper IMO.

looks nice, its a shame silvers and greys dont really show their shine unless its a crappy day. What polisher do you use?

I've been using Turtle Wax Colour Magic Plus, for silver cars obvisously, or close to!

Silver cars dont really shine, miles better on a dulish day or artificial lights at night!

Thinking about lowering it a bit more but i can only just cope with the ride at the moment

Was it Astra G16's i used to have on it, i know they were astra wheels but clueless on the names of them!

I'm thinking of having the tailpipes choped off and a single one put on, just hoping i dont loose the sound though.

Thanks for building my car rob

Ahh just some 240v one from halifords, the proper indistrial beasts scare me, i took some paint off last time i used one as it spins about 3000rpm.

The halfords one is ok, you have to put alot more effort into getting the tar off, where as the 3000rpm beast soon rips it off, but it scares me.....its a man's machine

Looks spot on that, not keen on the exhaust or front lights. Other than that its lovely, Star Silver GSI (replica's) look better than any other colour IMO

I did think about them crystal clear ones, probably will now i think.

Got the exhaust to change.

Having the front and back bumpers resprayed soon, plus a few marks here and there, then i'll be happy!........Well apart from the engine, but hey ho

Keep thinking about looking into getting my own place but
