So.....finally had chance to give the car a full detail today. Had front wheels off too to give them a proper clean.

Recently had the rear diffuser sprayed satin black at Prospray in Rixton, Lancs (www.prospray.co.uk). They did an amazing job. I can highly reccomend them.

Also had some DAP R springs fitted to replace Eibachs and new Tarox discs/pads and braided lines.

Some Pics below.......

The car was disgracefull to start with!





No inbetween shots...straight from snow to finished!!

Won't list all products used but finished with Dodo Juice Blue Velvet as usual.

Can't believe you let it get in that state!

You take the wheels off or did you use a brush to clean the insides?

Very nice, look loads better with the lower section black. Get the chrome boot strip color coded too. Sits nice, not too high, not too low.

Had fronts off...they were really tarred/salted up on insides! Backs weren't too bad.

Believe it or not the car got in that state within 2 weeks!

Tbh...not noticed a huge amount of difference . However even in the car I can tell its sitting alot more level. Not had chance to really push it yet as the brakes are still bedding in and need re-bleeding because they are spongy.
