Mk2 Leon Cupra Detail
« on: July 31, 2011, 08:53:00 pm »
Evening guys,

This is a little write up of a detail I did for our very own Dave Rich Mark Trev Mike TFSI. (  :grin: )

He dropped his car off early on Saturday morning, and it was complete by late evening.  :pomppomp:

I didn't take any before pics because I was pushed for time, but I can assure you that.....it was a disgrace.  :grin: :sick:

I'll let the pictures do the talking, they mean a thousand words after all....



























Comments more than welcome. And thanks again Mike, it was a pleasure meeting you and blasting up to Manchester with you today.  :happy2: :happy2: :happy2:

Sticker friend!



Firstly  :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

Big thanks to Nick, so glad to get this done, she's been neglected since I moved off of camp and into a German town out in the sticks, its illegal to use shampoos / detergents or even fart on the street!  :fighting:


Was good to finally get to another meet.  Had a fun drive to Awesome, bar the shody re surfaced road in Irlam (What is road tax spent on!)  :fighting: :fighting: :fighting: :fighting: :fighting:

Sorry I didnt have mi camera Nick the eddy looked awesome on the move!

Bought a cheapo bucket, a/g detailing brush, rubber / black care, mitt and some microfibres on the way home.  :innocent:
