Title: Re: just ordered this....
Post by: THiNK on 06 April 2008, 09:12

Post by: GTi-Matt on 06 April 2008, 09:18
is it me or is the R smaller than the TDI?

if so take the TDI off and replace with the R if it aint then put the R in front of the TDI

that would look good :afro:

R is ever so slightly smaller than the TDI  :sad:  might go with replacing the TDI with the R; keep people guessing even more as to what's 'smoked' them  :grin: :grin: :grin:

had some spotty teens yesterday think they could race me; they weren't too impressed when i started pulling away  :grin: :grin:

had just finished buffing the wax; didn't give it a full detail; just a wash and wax.  Full detail will be in a couple of weeks; give it the full clay, polish, glaze and wax treatment  :cool:  Might even invest in a Megs polisher  :rolleyes:
