Yer it was a bit of an effort, the side skirts were badly dammaged and have quite an intensive rebuild. They were very delicately attached with bolts at either end and tigerseal all the way down. The car had to sit for 24 hours with the skirts taped in place until it set hard

I think the front bumper & rear German lights are my favourite mods I've done
I've been hunting around the web and I think that bumper is a one off, most people smooth out the number plate recess and leave the fogs, were as I've done it the other way round lol.

Yer I did fella, I wasnt sure if you had realised which one was me and I was busy packing away all the club gear. I had a look at yours to as I passed round the CS stand, very very tidy mate and polished to perfection

On the lead up to PVS, the car was back in the workshop on Friday just to have a few little bits touched up and some flat marks polished out.
Last minute cleaning with a couple of the club members on Saturday ready for the show.

I just caught at the last minute your name on your shirt. Lol Thanks for the comment on my car. Not bad for 15 year old paintwork eh? Well apart from the bonnet and boot.

This is why I want mine to have a full hit, just so all the paint looks so refreshed

It's had different bits painted by different bodyshops and not all the work matchs mate, so it needs it. I'm looking at adding some sort of pearl the black as well just to give it something extra.
You know we were talking the other week about polishing/waxing, well I cheated for PVS as I didn't get time to do the wax, it only had a paint cleaner & polisher, so used that Speed Wax sealant product I was on about. It's amazing stuff and highly recommend you get some dude

Well it's not the weekend, but today was MOT day and she had to come out the garage - still gleeming from PVS
She passed, with NO ADVISORIES for the 2nd year running and this was from a well known very strick garage. I am really please because it means I really am building a very good all over car
Next week she is going for a professional photoshoot with Stanced Imaging, in a secret location and cant wait Check out their work - https://www.facebook.com/pages/StancedImaging/102668419853142?fref=ts

A good friend of mine owns Stanced Imaging Photography and when I was doing the rebuild this year I promised him the first pictures of the car.
This mornings early prep, out with the HD Wax
On location, an old RAF base in Lincolnshire, now used for storage and borrowed (with permission) for the afternoon
More to come soon...
Thanks

Toby I've been asked by the photographer not to give out the location, purely as it's private MOD land and he is lucky enough to have an important old man who can get him access onto it
