Decided it was time I tried out this Snow Foam malarkey so picked these bits up. Qwasher 10m hose for the pressure washer looks the business as does the lance/bottle/thing. No idea if the Valet Pro snow foam is a good one of not but had some good write ups.

I read that hot water in the bottle is a lot better the cold. I know the foam was still stuck on the car nearly ten minutes after I sprayed it on!!

Just read this whole thread - you've got a gorgeous car now. I would really love the power and braking mods which you've got, must be great fun to drive.

Xenons make a massive difference to the front end, I'll be fitting my projector xenon style headlamps at the weekend and my rear Pirelli Badge which I've been waiting for for 3 months.

I'll get there small steps at a time keep the mods coming :popcornsoda: :party:

Yes I got it from the dealers cost just under £40 and like I said waited 3 months because it had to come from germany but luckily i had an agreement with the garage where I brought her and they paid, I ordered two but only one per pirelli apparently which was a shame.

Just read your build thread, a very impressive car.

If I can get my post count up enough before you sell your Pro a race 1.2 wheels I'll buy them.

Unfortunately they'll go really quickly I'm sure.

I live in Kent and work at Gatwick which is really frustrating as your just down the road.

@Gripper1  Hi bud. Wheels are still for sale, a few PM's with a few offers but they are still for sale. Get your post count up to 10'and PM me.

Can't decide Andy, want something in Athracite is my only specification really. Options are either OZ Formula HLT Grigio Corsa or VMR v701's. Few others but nothing stands out.

I really like both them wheels and both would suit the car well. I take it the OZ are the lighter of the two?
