Sunny weather and time for a proper clean

[edk]

Got some time one evening to go all out on a clean.

Turtle wax shampoo. Bought Three Step Meguiars cleaning and lots of pads and clothes for the job. So surprising how much dirt is still on the car after a good wash! Turtle wax detailer spray, and Auto Glym wheel cleaner and protector. I now know how much hard work it is, taking over three hours

Well pleased with the results Should get some close-ups too.

Cheers guys. Yeah it was a surprise Christmas present from the rents. My birthday's the 16th June but they couldnt get J16. If only they'd known about N16, as that's available... cant complain though as its a free plate!

Tommo, you're quite right, I still havnt gotten round to doing the rear shocks and springs yet. It's been stupidly busy at work for the last 2 months so only now will I have the time. Want to get the rear sorted for the South Meet.

Helps make the car look a bit different i think!

The car is looking amazing Edk, that Megulars stuff looks like it does a fantastic job, lot of hard work though?

Rear needs lowered!

Come onnn maaann represent!!!!!

 

[edk]

Yeah it really does. I finally get a weekend off after 2 1/2 months so I'm doing it then!

 

[PhUnkY]

Lowered? Why.. Just a lil bit! Looks good to me.. What you need is a good splitter.. Tried some Honda splitters?
The new Accord has a great splitter, which fits perfectly!

 

[edk]

Yeah I've got 35mm springs on the front and will be putting the rest of the set on the rear... I just havnt had time yet since I dit the front

A rear splitter you mean? Because I like my cupra r front splitter enough not to change it
