Car Wash In Sun and a few recent additions

E

Ed...

Hi all,
Basically I just want to see what people think of my black 197 after a wash no wax or polish (that is in 2 weeks time:smile:) pictures will be added when ive done this at a later date.

The wash I used was dodo supernatural and the wheels are done with bilberry and then washed with super. All rinsed then dried with a microfibre drying towel. wheels are buffed dry with a waffle weave towel and tyres dressed with meguires hot shine. All I use every time i wash to keep the shine is a product called finish kare, its a spray on wipe off speed detailer and its worth every penny.

the recent additions I have made are clear to most people lol but if you cant spot the difference im now rolling on a set of gunmetal grey R26 wheels which IMO finish the look of the car to a tee. Ill have to say a quick thanks to "the wheel specialist" in Openshaw, Manchester as there quality of service and finish is second to none.

Finally its more of a deletion than an addition the CLIO badge off the back, again I am a little undecided whether i like this yet or not in some ways i think it looks a bit too scally but in others I do think it makes the car more sleek looking.

Soon to be added are the EBC redstuff brake pads front and back as you see the pictures at the bottom, they are waiting for the KTR 2 piece bell and grooved disk upgrade (3 weeks wait left :worried: ) along with the disks braided lines are going on front and back so it should be ready for the summer engine rework :smile:

sooooo enough waffling heres the pictures:

Looking great Woody! I do like the 197 in black if I hadn't got the LY I wanted it would have been a black one! Its good to see you keep up to it - the paintwork looks great!
