Very nice indeed! Love that paintwork - it's like a mirror.

bob.dent · « **Reply #3 on:** 30 October 2008, 17:13:03 »

Looks good - great shine

barclay03 · « **Reply #4 on:** 30 October 2008, 17:22:40 »

Cheers guys

Paintwork isnt that mint, rear arches and edge of doors are bubbling, and there seems to be quite a few scratches despite it being machine polished only 500 miles ago! lol

Machine polisher + 8 hours + a good camera

it could still benefit from another polish, not as clean as id like it unfortunately!

but with the bubbling on arches etc, im holding back on cleaning it up lol

amba · « **Reply #14 on:** 02 November 2008, 08:25:02 »

Effect is quite stunning ..did you do the machine polishing ?or was it done by a company ??
What sort of price did they charge you,or how much and where did you buy the polisher.
I couldn,t imagine a several year old car could look so highly polished..truly amazing

barclay03 · « **Reply #15 on:** 02 November 2008, 10:14:13 »

Did it myself. Mines is PC7424 orbital polisher ordered from america, but the meguires g220 is much easier to get a hold of now and dont need to bother with 110v things

think they come in around £200, plus you need polishes, pads etc

barclay03 · « **Reply #16 on:** 15 November 2008, 16:13:52 »

Went in for tints on monday!

Cant wait to get the coilovers on now and exhaust, bodywork and wheels sorted!

JSW888 · « **Reply #17 on:** 18 November 2008, 22:16:50 »

Thats one sweet motor mate

ngrainqey · « **Reply #20 on:** 07 December 2008, 13:49:10 »

ooo aaaah! i'd have that

not too fussed with the wheels though, i'd prefere less curve on the spokes like the camaro SS wheels (very similar to BBS RK's)

Simon_Omega · « **Reply #21 on:** 07 December 2008, 18:11:25 »

smart motor mate!

Simon_Omega · « **Reply #22 on:** 07 December 2008, 18:12:12 »

could do with a clean and polish tho, ha ha, it looks mint for a older model, v nice!

barclay03 · « **Reply #23 on:** 07 December 2008, 19:55:21 »

in honesty it could! haha especially just now, its covered in much from arse end action

cheers for the comments guys!... still to get my coilovers sorted and on, doing cambelt/clutch/gaskets/filters etc soon too lol

Very nice car. Where did you get that grill?

Ian_D · « **Reply #25 on:** 14 December 2008, 11:16:53 »

Looks VERY nice mate!

The paint finish looks fantastic.

barclay03 · « **Reply #26 on:** 17 December 2008, 15:35:48 »

Cheers guys!

The grill came from ebay - £30 or there abouts.

Fitted some aero wipers and must say, what a difference! screen acctually clears now with no missed streaks or squeeking

beemerdevil · « **Reply #27 on:** 19 December 2008, 19:13:35 »

veerryyy nice matey......did you clay it then machine polish?/ - what polish did you use??

barclay03 · « **Reply #28 on:** 19 December 2008, 23:20:36 »

Wasnt clayed at the time, no... was more just a test to see what i was actually working with so just hit it with the polish... was originally only doing the bonnet but the mrs went out so went for the whole car lol used menzerna intensive polish, then final polish, then megs #7 glaze and collinite 915 wax

amigov6 · « **Reply #29 on:** 20 December 2008, 23:59:08 »

SWEET. I've got one the same & access to trade valeting products. They look great when done but black is a bitch to keep clean.
My mate Steve is the doggies with a machine polisher ( The Boy's tractor) & i'm learning all the different mop heads & thier uses. I'm lucky enough to have 2 good sets of MV6 rims.
Will post some piccies in the new year when she's back in black!

barclay03 · « **Reply #30 on:** 22 January 2009, 08:35:06 »

cheers

she looks terrible at the moment tbh, last washed a few days before xmas when i was attending a funeral, door trim tore off on motorway on the same day, and the rusty arches are looking worse - shes currently sittin at the back of my drive unused

lol
