  2. Hi, in the past i've always had brighter cars, like orange or light blue, or something with a bit of contast.

    Now i've got this Gunmetal 350, with the 19inch wheels. i'm really struggleing to find a good colour to change the wheels to. Anyone got any pics of GM cars with different alloys / colours ?

     

    cheers

  3. i got the jobs done at mates rates, so what it cost me wouldnt matter too much, all i can say is after 12hours of work, its awesome. There were major cracks on my leather, after about 10 mins of work, differnt creams and brushes, mostly gone ! the dashboard has been treated as well, looks like factory, i wouldnt mind a new dashboard tho, out of a 07 or 08 model as they are really nice.

     

    his normal rates are 120 to 150 i think, that would be a full day, but the car is generally brought to him.

  4. Hi Guys, my friend Jim came round on Sat to valet my car and my mates 172, here is his report thing. This got posted on Detailing World as well, everyone thought my exausts were a bit poo, saying they didnt look right, theres one shot of them, and its the 5zigen pro racer, what do you think.

     

    Today’s task was to tidy up the 350Z, and turnaround the Clio 172. I knew I had my work cut out, and probably being a bit optimistic but hell, who doesn’t like a challenge.

    Arriving an hour early I got on the case straight away.. The forecast said rain, yet through till lunch it was just windy and cold!! (very overcast however..)

    At this point the Cotton Wool buds came out again to tidy up some difficult areas.. Now I did say it was windy, I had to make several runs out to the road to prevent products/crates and clothes blowing away, but I wasn’t expecting this!!
