The Devil is in the detail [with photos]

Post by Nige_RS4 » Wed Sep 10, 2008 8:49 pm

After numerous posts showing cars being detailed, mine was looking rather grubby, so I thought I'd treat her to a pampering session.

The photos don't really do it justice!

I think she scrubbed up rather well for a 7 year old car :D

BTW, I employed someone who knows what they're doing - I don't trust myself with one of those polishing machines!

Should hopefully be worth a few ££'s more when it goes on the market :roll:

Let's not start this again, as we all know where it'll conclude...

Misano Pink is NOT the fastest colour...! :biggrin3: :bigwave:

(Looks v. nice though Nige - am I right in assuming you have FMIC? Or has someone just nicked your fogs...??? :shock: :lol:)

Looks very nice Nige. Top job. I'm going to have to use a bit more elbow grease to get mine that good again. Not sure about the 'shark fin' though..

Looking good Nige, but has to concur on the fin antenna.... So, are you selling up? "Should hopefully be worth a few ££'s more when it goes on the market"
