Haha just seemed so clean I wasn't convinced it could have been driven there lol. Fair play for getting it that clean again after the drive. Just soapy water? Tyres looked great if that's all it was. Tread looked just as gleaming as the sidewall to be honest lol.

Only managed to get a couple of snaps of yours kev as battery died on camera and was trying to rush around fitting as much in as i could! Car looked absolutely mint and ive hardly edited the saturation on these and the red is simply outstanding! One is really over edited as i quite like the effect

plans sound good kev although there cant be much left to clean and paint is there
as for interior, get the dash flocked and buy all the gloss black plastics im selling. sausage discount and all that... black upper plastics and roof cloth and maybe get the seats re trimmed in black leather with red stitching or maybe see if astra coupe red leather fit in maybe, would be 
i looked in your bay when i passed the CS stand at the weekend and its pretty damn tidy mate
ooo and if your going 5 stud get some polished up turbo's on
