New from Kent/SE London E85 3.0 (Pics Added)

I'm a bit young for the //M unfortunately, at 24 and with only 2 years NCB it would be my wisest decision :driving:

Im 24 with 2 ync and i have an Mc ;)!

Welcome to the jungle :evil:
 
Spent the whole day cleaning today, inside and out...

2bm wash
IronX'd the whole car
Bilberry'd the wheels
Rinsed
Clayed entire car
Washed again with wool mit
Polish with Black Hole
Glass cleaned with dodo juice.

Really happy with the results, know it still needs a wheel refurb but it's so much tidier now, what a lovely car it is.

Hope you all like.
 
Thanks, bloody hard work though! :thumbsdown:

Just seen your location, I'm staying in greystoke on the 24th, perfect opportunity to enjoy the car properly with the roads up there :driving:

Have a look at this, a bit anal but..

Ye I don't live far from grey stoke really about 5 miles, worth getting out onto the lakes maybe kirkston or hartside :thumbsup:
 
Evening, there's a good Indy round the backstreets of Dartford. Knows his way round skyline's; porsche's; lotus' & even races M3's... can give you an intro & save you a fortune on many things.

Just had my alloys referbed... and as you're running 108's suggest (1) don't get them blown over, go the whole hog of acid dipped/sand blasted etc... (2) suggest DON'T get them diamond cut on the outer rim but rather get them coloured a supa bright silver, with the innards a slightly darker grey ... will try to post some pics on this thread FYI (3) make sure whoever does them also does the bolts.

Otherwise... enjoy & if ur near Brands hatch & see my toy gis a small wave...

Good effort! :thumbsup:

Planning any mods? I would suggest a stubby aerial :)

Thanks. :)

I'll be doing some small mods yeah, a stubby aerial will be first, a new steering wheel (mine's tired) and an illuminated //M gearknob next, followed by some other interior trim parts to finish it off.

Exterior wise, I'm not really sure yet but after I browse here enough I'll no doubt see some bits I like.

I've been twice before now, both times in a ph1 172 Clio, thoroughly enjoy the roads. Especially Kirkstone :driving:

Your car is something else, amazing looking machine and the attention to detail is awesome.

When I picked mine up it was just generally a little rough around the edges, so today was all about tidying it up a bit, I'm pretty happy with what we achieved and it's now at a good standard in and out for the age of the car.

The photos aren't done by me, I'm not overly capable with a camera but a friend popped out with me and got those. Light was fading to be fair, but it looks great in the metal.

Thanks for the feedback though.

Thanks for the advice, saving a fortune sounds excellent! Is this someone well known?

I'm having the 108's done at a place down in Strood, spoke to them this week and they've done a few sets of these before, their process is exactly as you mention and the price is reasonable. I'll probably be just going high power silver all over if I'm honest. I quite like simple wheels.

What needs to be done to the bolts out of curiosity?

I'm down at brands occasionally as a friend races in the tin tops series so I try to get down, hopefully I'll see you about.

Thanks for all the positive feedback and comments guys.
 
Car looks great, I want to do the same thing with mine.
Bit nervous about the claying though, how easy is it?
Also the 108 referb, what's the best price you've got?
Cheers

Thanks!

Claying isn't scary once you've done it once. Keep it well lubricated and don't let it pick up too much crap before you fold over etc! I clay all my new cars now, makes such a difference removing all the impurities.

The best I've found is £50 a corner, I'll be giving them a go and reporting back with my findings :)
