like it...  :cool:

when you've gone to that much trouble it is a shame not to use a tyre dressing like autosmart highstyle to finish off and make the tyres look spanky too

you can also dress arches, and a cleaned engine bay and door shuts with autosmart finish

a bit of metal polish such as some belgom alu and some 00 gauge wire wool will have that exhaust looking spanky in no time, finish off with a microfibre  :wink:

Guy - I used meg's tyre dressing but you cant really see it in them pics..  I do need some metal polish aswell as the exhaust does look nice all polished up.. engine bay and doorshuts was done with G101.. i just didnt do the arches wish i had now !!

Will invest in some highstyle end of the month as ive spent my quota this month lol
