These are just after a wash using 2 cap fulls of halfords advanced car wash in a 5 litre bucket. Washed using Meguiars lambs wool wash mit and using the 2 bucket method. Dried with Meguiars water magnet.



















These were the results of my bonnet and roof after applying Meguiars stage 1 2 and 3 detailers which were applied with Meguiars applicator pads and buffed off with halfords own microfibre towels.





The finish was simply superb, drop a cloth on the bonnet and it just glides straight down it. I very highly recomend using the 3 step detailing method, it may take a long time but it's well worth it in the end.

Rear chrome numberplate surround has been banished and so has the gash turbo badge that was fitted. Chuffed to bits with the car, everything i hoped for and more.

Love these cars, will have one soon hopefully? How much did you pay if you dont mind me asking?

Also, that splitter is a bit iffy. Looks better without I think.

Splitter looks alot better in life, even Fad said "it aint bad"

Rollers chewed the ends off of it though on sunday

If i lower the car it will have to come off as it catches on some bumps now

took all of 5 minutes to do the both, clay bar worked wonders for getting rid of the sticky shit the badge left behind

see classifieds for chrome numberplate surround

got one of those 3 step megs kits, they do a good job.

although for all ye' who are thinking of getting a set, don't bother with the 3rd step wax, get some poorboys natty's paste wax, much more durable, and better finish.

smells nicer as well lmao

cheers james, which it had the same bhp as yours

yeh has climate control, was a dealer option along with the 4 disc changer i have and curtain airbags. irmscher pedals are a nice touch in it as well, sod spending £75 on a set though
