As you wish.....

.....and when you stop feeling....yr old Happy birthday chap enjoy the day

There's one born every day.. someone 'll believe it....nice in white tho'

Why thank you smudga Just cannt get these quotes right s' funny that......

Bit like the off yellow etching primer for plastic parts on yr car then

You lot are just bonkers ..doesnt it make a refreshing change tho'

Very very nice drove the Vantage a while back didnt want to get out!!

Nice Kuro there...enjoy I recon the car under wraps is a Detomaso Pantera and the red reflection is an Ultima Gt thingy ....am I or

When I received mine from Autopia the customs labels had the value of all the items in the box listed.......at $5 each!! total value $25 no additional tax etc to pay It was also delivered by parcelforce, not UPS....result

Hi Mark & hello If your liking the Kuro can I suggest that you find one with Alezan leather will really brighten up the car.... black car & upholstry makes it 2 dark IMO. plus the orange & black are a good combo. My missus has the gunmetal with Alezan and although I wasnt sure when she ordered it...it was the right choice..it also has standard alloys which actually look bigger than rays The car in standard tune aint that slow so unless your wanting to rag it a bit more, then the earlier power of 280bhp ish is pretty good. Hope it helps

Nice one Tom..... Its that smooth finish gives it the extra few MPH then

Thats if they are actually looking at what is going on!!...last time I was out in the Z had some oik think it was clever to pull out on a left hand curve to overtake..... didnt look up the inside first or he would have seen that big truck coming fortunately the brakes on his Novcorsax thing actually worked......well in combination of the zed getting the hell out of the way at warp factor

PM sent

Anyone tell me how to get hold of one of these via this site...or is there a discount code to call Holdcroft with?? Thanks

Shades of a 6 series BMW rear end with a bit missing.... looks good but alas not for me, a little large for the zed..... (and thats from a man with an ironing board on the back of his subaru!!)

PC is an awesum piece of kit...very happy with the results, now the paint is as good as it will get I'll use the pc for waxing & general stuff. Only trouble is now is other peeps wanting you do do their cars..... inlaws, daughters boyfriend etc.

Ok just for you Sarnie a small taster just to show you how well a blue can drip Taken in the garage without light and no sun outside....... oooh go on then one more...... Need to get another coat of wax on 2 nite more depth of shine

Ooops some one beat me to it

From my understanding the XL extra load coding means they have stiffer side walls..... The goodyear GSD3 is designated XL where as the GSD2 wasnt Same goes for Toyo the T1R is XL but the T1s isnt Falken also the same the 452 has XL where as the 451 hasn't. Interesting tho, if you look at the Falken 451 its tread pattern is the same as the earlier Toyo and the 452 is the same as the later Toyo....or very similar, as far as you can see from pictures. Anyway if thats the tyre you want looks correct to me. You could also have a look here if its of interest?? http://www.falkentyres.co.uk/default.as ... check=yes&

That sound a bargain.....where did you order them from??

You'll just have to wait for the pics ...sorry Oh and all this was done to the impreza not the zed ..needed to practice first

Well having read all the above I thought I would post my weekends work for infomation. Having just got my Porter Cable polisher from the states and seen all the swirls & scratches in the paintwork of the car I decided to get it back to a perfect, or as near finish as possible so this is what I did...... Washed car 2 bucket method with lambswool mit & Maguires NXT wash Dry with waffle weave towel Clayed car with Meguires claybar and quick detailer as lubricant Wash & rinse & dry car. Inspect swirls & condition using 500w interior lights & get machine out of box! Tried SFX blue 6" pad with poorboys SSR1 which had no real effect on the swirls, so ended up using SFX yellow pad and SSR2.5 buffed off with microfibre towel. In some areas the SSR2.5 left a slight haze to the paint so went over that with SFX white pad & SSR1 & buffed off. At this stage the car was as smooth as silk and had no scratches or swirl marks whatso ever, but I was aiming for the deepest shine possible so I then...... Polished with Autoglym super resin polish on a SFX white pad & buffed of with microfibre towel, then to try more gloss enhancement.... Applied Clearkote moose red glaze on a SFX blue pad and removed with micro fibre towel...... getting better next stage was... Poorboys Exp sealant applied over by hand and left for about an hour to cure and buffed off by hand and finished that off with a coat of Nattys blue paste wax. Another coat of same wax going on tonight as you need to leave it at least 12 hours between applications. The wheels were polished with AG srp polish and EXP sealant then waxed with nattys blue (not the best wax for whhels but all I had) and the tyres were dresses with Autoglym tyre spray. All glass was cleaned both sides with meguires fast glass applied with kitchen paper and buffed of with microfibre towel. Little trick in cleaning glass I found is if you clean the outside with vertical strokes and the inside with horizontal strokes, you can see if you have missed any areas easily or havent buffed some off. Exhaust stainless was polished with Solvo autosol. The whole car now gleams with a finish that is better than new IMO. All that was topped of with a few pints of stella as a muscle relaxant I will get some pics up later

Pah!! if only you had decided to sell it a couple of weeks ago Just bought one from the states last week. Have to say did the car at the weekend and they are so good, not a swirl or mark to be seen in the paint now

Nope he'll do you a Gunmetal if you ask nicely
