decided to clean the car the weekend as it was nice, i also used a clay bar for the first time and im impressed with the results, money well spent imo. I also fitted my new wheels, need re-conditioning which will be done very soon and changing the tyres to 45s also. Other bits i need to do are change to post 97 rear bumpers, depos, and maybe lower at the back.

any ideas welcome

cheers

Mate, claying a car on its own isnt good. Clay strips all wax on the car, and leave the paintwork very vunerable to fading, especially on flame red corsas!

Looks good tho...

Never any rush, but doing the wheels that colour should be your next step

Should be able to do it yourself if you have some old wheels to pop on there for a little while
