My Elite
« on: 28 September 2012, 13:37:46 »
I needed another car to pull my 20ft Car transporter trailer, decided i wanted another Vaux ( vauxhall family ) and spotted a 2.2dti about 2.5hrs from where i lived.

Such a nice car its brilliant.







Love it, you'll notice no towbar but i have one at home waiting to be fitted :D

There are some marks on mine too that I'm told may come out with a machine polish.
Just need to get some pads and have a go  :y

Nah the pics it looks ok but this is what the seller had listed, it does look like that but dont get me wrong but to touch its rough and just no real shine to it.  Ill post up when Ive done it as with winter coming it'll be easy to keep on top off lol ( sad but think its my ocd :-[, despite the fact its going to be used to ferry scrap cars as well as tip runs hahah)

Looking real nice now :y

Lets be honest, how many times have any of us bought a car then had second thoughts, but a good clean and polish confirms you made the right choice :y
