Given it a much needed clean, Polish and wax. I was getting concerned my car wasn't actually blue....


Back it it's normal eye popping vibrancy now! The blue really looks great when properly looked after

I was genuinely starting to think the colour was a bit dull, and preferred the Jag blue fire, then I cleaned it......can't believe how much the dirt covered the vibrancy of the colour

I cleaned the front as well....just in case anyone thought I stopped half way lol

That's the money shot.  Magnificent.

And a brilliant advertisement for how a good wax can bring out the vibrancy and depth of the colour.  Who needs C2v3.  :evil:

How difficult was that to do Simon? It's something I'd like to do in the future..
Hi Kyle, I had it done by locally by Dan at Turner Race Developments who have sorted everything else on my car, pretty straight forward a took a couple of hours, only thing to note was the need for a blanking connector is needed for the brake wear indicator as it not output by the new brakes and without the blanking connector a dash warning would come up (TRD hold these is stock).
Thank you for all the other comments.  :smiley:

Cheers mate, how'd you source the R brakes or did TRD source them for you?

There's a set for sale here and I can personally vouch for Dave, the vendor
