Washed it friday and then polished/sealed/waxed yesterday.

Washed with Chemical Guys citrust wash and gloss
Polished with AG super resin polish
Sealed with AG extra gloss protection
Waxed with Collinite 476S

Wheels sealed with Chemical Guys wheel guard

Then it broke yesterday, had an engine malfunction, wouldn't rev up or accelerate.

Fixed it today and thought i'd go for a spirited drive and get some decent photo's.

I really need a good camera as i just use a sony cybershot W55 which is rubbish for showing off the colour/flake in the paint.

Anyway... the pics.























and a video of the exhaust note, sounds a bit shite though, sounds so much better in real life:




Already sorted out the small things which are orange st badges, clear rear fog lights, and all bulbs changed to led/chrome/clear ones.

next mod's will be:

-Eibach springs
-Mongoose Cat-Back
-Dreamscience on Race+ (basically a remap to 270bhp)
-Possibly black side stripes although not sure yet???

Don't get a Mongoose, get a Milltek. DO get the Dreamscience and the Eibachs.

i didn't miss any bonnet has been up and down about 20 times over the weekend due to blown fuses and having an engine malfunction so blame the grubby hands of everyone

and there are still some bits that need to grow on me but if i loved the car that much then i wouldn't find nothing to do with it, and that would bore me

Looks great!

Where did you get your plates from? Are they 100% legal or not really?!

i got my plates from craigsplates.co.uk

the font is not legal (french font) but you can hardly tell the difference unless you park next to a car with standard plates, but they are reflective.

had them on my fiesta and got pulled a few times and the police didn't even bat an eyelid at them, so i guess they're quite a subtle mod
