Cheers. I did have it machine polished on friday, because it went vauxhall the week before for its service and mot. And they wash it as part of the service, problem is they must of used a grit filled sponge or brush as it was covered swirl marks.

I dont know what it was polished with. I had the boot and bonnet painted a few months ago and had the whole car machine polished at the same time. Then one weekend i went over it with a clay bar and some poorboys black hole and then finished it with some dodo juice purple haze wax. Came up really well if you look back abit. Then my car went to vauxhall for service and mot and it came back swirled to buggery because they washed it. So friday before billing someone i know machine polished it and then waxed it with some Auto glym hd wax. When it cools down im going to wash it and dry it, then give it two or three coats of poorboys black hole to fill the remaining swirls and top it with as many coats of wax as i can be bothered to do.

Nah i sold the slabs a while ago. I only used them as winter wheels. Didnt really like how they looked on my car.Im always looking for my next set of winter wheels to save me having to run these twists in the winter. Winter wheels may just be steels this year with wheel trims.

Wish my old B was in as good nick as this! Would never have gotten rid of it! You thinking about colour coding/taking bump strips off or some sideskirts or anything mate?

Beetlegav- id love some but they dont come up for sale too often, plus id like to get some banded. That would be cool.
Shaunmods- cheers for the pics. Much appreciated.
LukesCorsaSXI- Its not 100% mint. Looks awesome in pics but up close it has a few blemishes. Im just really fussy and most people would be really happy with it. I have no plans to colour code anything or add anything else really. Im keeping it for a bit then may uograde to something else. While its being good and flying through mot's it would be a shame to sell it really.
