Thankyou I bought bit of a rough example about 4 years ago and I'm quite proud to say that Its almost there, the underneath looks just as clean lol. I hope to get it to you someday to work your magic, only problem is I'm in bournemouth :-(

Took me about 2 days on and off, but really scary flatting your own car but i work selling cars and love detailing them so only the best for my own.

Iv got the car booked in for its MOT on wednesday so il let you all how i get on, cant see it failing as everything is new, but you never know. Il get a vid of the inside over the weekend to show how its all gone back together, Thanks for all the nice comments I feel very proud :-)









See if you can notice whats missing in the last photo lol

Something from the front shocks?? It seems to be sitting way lower in the front pictures compared to the rear end pictures?.
