As i was supposed to be revising for an exam tomorrow, i naturally went out and cleaned the car

Only plans, are a kamei grille, which should be sorted by end of week if mike16v would let me throw some money his way and probs a 1.6 16v - currently 5 years old with a 1.2 16v and on 100k - been ragged to fuck too

Anyway - before Pics:





After pics - not bad considering only turtle wax and a sponge, and a watering can and lashings of back to black:

















all pics on a Sony - k750i



opinions welcome

i'd recommend you get that little patch of rust sorted on the boot, but car looks good and definately looks better than it would if it had a GSi/SRi spoiler IMO

dont color code though, get the black bits all darkened to proper black, and remove the rear wiper but keep the bootlock

Ive had mine on a week and nearly went to wipe the rear window other day

Nope, if cars kept clean a bit of Rain-X on the rear window and no need for a wiper anyways

oooh by the way... cars looking good too

lol, that kamei grille has done the rounds, sure i bought it off someone on here, before i sold it to Mike.

I've removed rear wiper on my pug, no need for them imo, can see 90% of the time. Not much interesting back there anyway.

just because you know it was a silly thing to do selling your B

Adam - i want to come to PVS, but the car needs bonnet respray, roof respray and boot respray to looking anything like presentable, and to be honest i dont think i can afford between now and then, we shall see but its unlikely

oh and i need some work doing on it by either yourself / topgear or lawreance or a mixture of you all. like i said car done 100k few things are looking tired underneath
