The paintwork on pops pride and joy had suffered at the hands of his somewhat rural location being exposed to the elements. In fact, the oxidation was so bad the one of the panels actuallly couldn't be cut back and had to be resprayed. Anyway, it's been with clean image in essex for a while and Mark spent about 4 days with all manner of clay bars, buffers and lord knows what else to get the paint back to pretty much new. No swirl marks, no fine scratches...in the sun you can clearly see the metallic finish ..it looks stunning.
The wheels were slightly kerbed as well so all four of those have been completely resprayed...couldn't get the paint code so it's slightly lighter but looks absolutely fine to me.
Just got it back this afternoon and on route to mates garage to store it we stopped at Hanningfield reservoir to take some photos. Tash had her proper camera case to take some proper photos but I snapped some with the Ixus. Pictures really don't do the quality of work justice...it's expensive work (i.e 4 days labour) but the results are definately worth it.
The intercooler lets it down a bit now so will pursue getting the front bumper off and getting the original mesh back on.
I think pops is going to be more than pleased. I will just have to threaten him with complete confiscation if he doesn't put a cover on it when not in use....
