Well, a big thank you to all of you who recommended Steve at Paintguard/Chipguard. I collected the VV12SR from the factory and had them wrap it up for my drive home. It attracted a lot of looks as people assumed it was a factory disguised new model!

I am pleased to say that it reached Steve looking good and he and Paul set to work on it the next day. I am very, very pleased with the result cool

It was certainly worth having the car treated to a clay bar first, it looks stunning. Steve has done a brilliant job applying the Suntek and even changed the design around the headlights to avoid having to use a join.

I had initially intended to use Paintshield or Topaz, PS were very helpful but the logistics weren't good while Topaz in London failed to return my calls three times. Steve's price was FAR less than the others quoted and I can't imagine they could have done a better job.

I have no idea how to post photos, but if someone is happy to post them for me please drop me a line and I'll email them to you!

Thanks, that sounds easy. In ten years I've never noticed it paperbag

Nice looking car, loving the colour smile

I found waxing the film brought it to a fantastic shine smile

Hi Chris, thats a stunning looking car, so pleased everything went well with Steve, but I knew it would. Yes, polish wax and seal will definitely enhance the finish, look forward to seeing it in the flesh, you know what I mean!
