I guess a number of you will be aware of my little " incident " at Spa on 24th / 25th May. For those that were there - apologies for interrupting the final hour or so on the first day. For those that weren't basically I was going too fast into Pouhon and disappeared into the gravel trap

After severely damaging my pride, one tyre, giving a rear Speedline a severe dose of gravel rash and the RH side of the car a bit of a peppering I realised that things could have been a lot worse !

I got home after an awesome incident free second day and cleaned the car off. The chips in the paintwork whilst not that bad were pretty irritating and I felt like I wasn't showing my beautiful Riviera RS quite enough LLLLLllluurrrvvveee !

Long and short of the story is that I gave Paul from Miracle Detail a call having seen some of his work posted up here before. While he hasn't managed to make the chips totally disappear what he has done is make them far far less obvious. The paintwork also had light scratches and swirls which Paul with all manner of polishes and creams has managed to remove.

The finished product is a real testament to his efforts. The guy worked all day without taking a break such was his determination to get to a position where he was happy. He truly adores the cars he works on and takes massive pride in what he does.

So yeah I guess I am giving the guy a huge plug but he deserves it and would have absolutely no qualms in recommending him to anybody else, hence this thread.

Here are a few pics of my RS after Paul had done his work.

Cheers,

Ben.

That's very good work. Not an easy colour to work on either i'd imagine.

All it's missing is a set of gold centred BBS mags.

There isn't a sick note I could write that would adequately describe how sick you are Vic.
