Tilt the handle as if you was going to open it and you can see we're it splits into two, put a thin screwdriver in there and prise the parts aparts. You can only do this on the later 3d badges.

Had a long three days on the car getting things sorted.

Middle of the week i realised my rear pads needed changing so saturday dropped it off had them done along with its 10k service brought it home and gave it a good clean.

Painwork was ok as i detailed it properly before the winter, so was just a normal wash but did top up the Collinite 476s with an extra coat.

Leather cleaned and sealed and full clean inside.

I then removed all the wheels as i havnt sealed the insides since they had been refurbed only the front i have done.

So they had a wash, De-tar, clay bar, Polish with SRP, two coats of Poor Boys Wheel Sealant then a couple of coats of AG Instant Tyre Dressing.

Whilst the wheels were off i painted my calipers as they were looking a little sorry for them selves.

And whilst the wheels were off i thought id show them off a little more.

What do you think.

Here is how it started


The Fronts


Clay Bar (Wheels are only 3 months old was suprised with how much crap it picked up)


SRP before it was buffed off


After its buff with AG Tyre Dressing


Poorboys doing its thing


Finished Products


Black Insides to make the front pop


With the refurbed calipers


Before it started to rain :grin:


Sorry couldnt get anymore pictures of outside as weather is now pants but nothing has changed wince last time. And excuse the sh*tty iphone pictures. :rolleye:
