Two days of thorough cleaning
 

Tar removed, clayed, cutting compound, polish and two layers of wax.
Then cleaned the engine bay and the interior.
I'm sore from all the manual buffing!

I also raised it 10mm all round and moved the 20mm spacers to the back and fitted some 15mm ones to the front.

Now all I need to do is keep on top of it all until PoL.

(That and fit my front brace, fit the front splitter, stop the damn glovebox rattle & find out what is rattling about at the front)

:sick:need to sort that front bumper gap too:sick:

You missed a bit.

wasn't going to say anything as the looks so good.

Need some filler in that panel gap!

Looking darned good mind! :yes:

Hmm .... good enough to eat .... off .... Good work.

looks a good job. i didnt think you were debadged at the back?

Yeah it had a really terrible aftermarket one when I got it. So I took it off. But it's scratched where the last owner took a chisel to the original badge I think and then covered it with a shitty badge.
I just took the ZS letters off yesterday.

Thanks gents. Took a lot of time but it's worth it.

Also about the front, it broke the mounting point from being too low *facepalm*
So now it's "held" "in place" by cable ties.

Sex on wheels....

Which is perfect since there is a decent gap to fit it into...

Alright i get it, theres a gap haha:boxing:

roflol

It looks really good mate. XPG is a really nice colour when it catches the sun, the black wheels set it off really nice aswell. Top job lad

looking good, what are the graphics on the mirrors?

They're just a cheap sticker-bomb vinyl that I put on a spare set of caps as my originals where chipped and scratched to hell.
Never got round to fixing the others up as I quite like the look haha.

Looks ace pal, bet you were knackered though!

Need to spend some time on ours, it looks like a scrapper compared to yours in these pics :(

Looking quality! I've got an XPG one too and am also after some black wheels. So it's nice to have a little "preview".

The parts are actually really easy to replace, I got them off Rimmers when I snapped one of them. I also initially used cable ties, but couldn't handle knowing it was held on with them!

Looks cracking!

Looking good!

Mine needs some serious love before POL! It's feeling really neglected at the moment. :(

Looking good, polishes up a treat. Reducing the spacers has improved the looks in my opinion.

It's looking really well mate, love the shots at sunset on the spoiler!

It's a lot of effort but well worth it when you get results like that.
