I saw you this morning Rich and I thought you was swapping the wheels. As soon as we get some better weather I'm going to Give mine a good detail and we should get some pics of them together

First time i have ever driven a car with coilovers and what a difference it makes to the handling. Front needs to settle down more as its slightly higher than the back

As the weather was crap as usual today, thought id give my DA a practice. Reversed the car in the garage and gave the boot and rear quarter panel a going over. Being my first time at doing this i was a bit nervous, but the more i got into it the more confident i got.

I only used the 3M fast cut polish to get rid of the swirls and light marks, then finished off with auto glym super resin. Will need to buy more 3M products as they seem really good.

Anyway here are a few before and after shots, not the best of pics but you get the idea....
