Washed it, put some sealant on and waxed it. The wheels take longer to wash than the bodywork 
4 pots, very nice 
There's a few more in my garage too. I want to get a video of it at some point, it sounds awesome, even more so with the Sport button pressed

I was dealing with a Scottish salesman and he rang me up when he was about to register it and was laughing and said do you want a plate that says FUD because that's one of the available registrations So yeah I went for it

That just about sums it up really, girls love it because its a Mini and blokes usually tend to come round to liking it once they've heard it and seen how quick it is

The red roof looks a bit random but I guess it goes with the garish styling on these Mini's.
Ive seen your avatar for the last couple of weeks but thought you had an A3 TDi, you get chop it in for this? I never saw a New Car thread, its the law round these parts I think
Looks tasty though and bet it goes like something else compared to the tractor??

Cant remember I bought this kit ages ago for my Audi and it lasts for ages so put it on this too. The sealant I use actually cleans the paint up a little bit, almost like a clay bar. The pad was a bit dirty after I had put it on.
There was a thread Danny, you just must of missed it. It goes well yeah, the Audi was no tractor though. I liked that car a lot!

Yeah purely because it makes a lot easier to wash when it's been waxed. That's the main reason for doing it.

definitely.
you wouldn't believe the amount of shit that comes off a new car
ford usually have little rust spots on their paintwork from the trains that transport them. need a clay bar to get off.

That's why I do it myself for a lot less. Which of these photo's does it look green in? It looks grey in all of them to me.
