Re: marks out of 10?

thanks for the comments guys. the wheels are only ace wheels and cost me £500, glad i got those because many people do like them and not alot of people have them.

Glad you like the cleaning as well, took me like 2 hours to wash it inside and out, suppose i should expect it since I have cleaned it in a month!

overall, just had philips xtreme bulbs fitted, lowered with h&r springs and thats it! really want skirts on it though!

Re: marks out of 10?

4-5 hours? what takes the piss for me are the stupid lil black dots that accumulate around the body work, apparently, its due to road tar or something.

a right bitch to get off, only possible with t cut

Or some very clever stuff called C-Solve, its great at removing tar. Quick spray and wipe with a cloth, as simple as that.

Re: marks out of 10?

You can just use petrol to get tar off the bodywork, i spent an hour doing my whole car this weekend. Just wipe it on with a cloth, then wipe it back off and give it a polish...way easier and cheaper
