Hope you like it, Beetle Sport.
Heading to ABT on Monday, so will update it then.

Car has been sealed, and layer waxed with swisswax best in show. Can't wait to get exhaust fitted and calipers painted red.

Now I confess I'm not really a beetle fan, but that looks great :cool: especially with the black roof, can't beat a bit of monochrome. Red calipers should set it off nicely. Look forward to seeing more pics when other bits are done.

In the same boat as Rebecca regards Beetles, but always good to see a well detailed and protected car :). What is it going to ABT for? The remap?
-
Thanks Bec, Bevs really pleased with it and that's the main thing. Easy car to detail etc, I'm not sure if I could've given it any more initial protection.
Glass = Auto Finesse Crystal Glaze, Rain X windscreen
Wheels = Poorboys Wheel Sealant, then Zymol sealant over the top
Body = Dodo Juice Diamond White Wax, Gthechniq Liquid Crystal Sealant, Swisswax Best in Show cured for two hours, another layer tomorrow
Tyres = Quarts Tyre Dressing (caravan & motorhome, best I've ever used!!!
Cloths used were a new brand, WO-WO, great MF cloths and they do a twin layer drying towel which I haven't used yet. They're wash mits look pretty good too.
There's a couple of bits that need dealing with the DA but that'll have to wait.

Stainless exhaust and rear diffuser, had a quote for the remap from Nick at carbon tuning so were talking that one over. Had a chat with the dealer today and think that might have out Bev off, but it's definitely not done with - yet!
-
Haha nice! Look forward to the pics :)
-
My money's on it being remapped before Xmas :wink: Glad Bev is pleased with her new toy :smiley:
Haha Neil, I don't think you could have done much more on the protection front. Tell me more about the Quarts Tyre Dressing? I've just bought some Zaino Z-16 but haven't had a chance to use it yet.
Cloths and towels sound promising, but they'll have to be good to beat Purple Monster Edgeless XL or Dodo Juice Soft Touch Premium Drying towel :tongue:
Got a couple of days leave coming up so hoping to test the WO-WO clay cloth and sponge on Tues or Weds. Will email you with feedback. Wash mitt still going strong and still looks like new. Superb product. :smiley:
-
I've never been a Beetle fan but these look lovely. Your example looks very clean too.
-
Black on white looks very nice, I love the line from roof down past the rear window... All you need now is a 53 on the doors and bonnet !!!

With exhaust:-

In the second pic, is the mrs pointing out that you've missed a bit :grin:

Cheers. Yeah as usual he did a great job.
They sold the cab by Sunday too!

I can't help thinking that the rear bumper insert should be gloss back.
I like the wheels. I'd fancy a set of those for my Passat if they came in 18"

I know what you mean. I might do the 'vertical bars' in black gloss wrap to break it up a bit.

That looks brilliant Neil! I think the new shape Bug is a million times better than the previous model, looks great!
