Another Detail My Ride Production.. Red Edition 30 Detail
« on: August 23, 2012, 09:56:31 pm »
Just wanted to say a Huge thanks to Greeners (Nathan) and Gaz for spending a few days bringing back my now 5 year old Edition 30 truely back to life.

The Alloys have also had a full refurb by A1 wheels in Wolverhampton whilst the car was in for some enhancement.

Im sure at some stage there will be some before and after snaps that were taken by the guys and im hoping they will be posted in due course, but as from these pictures show, im absolutely stunned by the results and considering there was an awful lot of Sanding damage from a previous attempts to rid of and improve some stone chips that were very apparent on the bonnet and front wings.Unfortunately the clearcoat was very badly scratched and what also made the job very difficult, was the fact that the paint thickness is very thin in alot of area's. DMR have done a fantastic job and can recomend them enough to anybody looking to improve their GTi.

Here is just a few snaps...

Very nice. Didn't realise you had dropped it off. Would have popped down to say hello.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

....They do look newer than new when professionals like DMR and Miglior do their magic.

I always thought that Saintly Steve's car looked immaculate before this DMR session so it will now look beyond immaculate!

cheers Everyone, like Chungster says, there was ALOT of damage that wasn't always noticeable , I knew it was there and any keen eye would of seen some deep and nasty Damage to the clearcoat.

I cannot get over the difference what the enhancement has done, and those pictures have been taken raw and not played with on Photoshop, that's how she looks.

To be blindfolded and walked into DMR's workshop by my wife, the surprise was immense!

Certainly had a few onlookers on the M42 and M40 home  :love:

looks stunning Steve--when the car needs washing again it makes you a bit reluctant to do it or it does in my case :grin:
