gave mine a detail and a coat off collnite 915 by hand

Laser blue does look  :drool: pictures dont do the colour justice. Saw one in the flesh at the South Mimms mini meet this year

I must admit car looks better in flesh if I don't say my self

Had my Pescara's powder coated Aston Martin anthracite today, really pleased with the results and they suit the Reflex Silver.  :smiley:

Will post some pics up when I get a chance  :happy2:

Fitted a new Rev 'G' DV a few days back, which replaced the 'D' version I installed on my Ed30 2 yrs ago.

I must say, the car is definitely boosting stronger no question. I'm still noticing it days later, so definitely not a placebo effect.

For the sake of £35... get it done peeps!  :happy2:

Fixed the annoying rattle coming from the inner tail light. Super glue & a steady hand, job done! So nice to drive again rattle free   :smiley:

Yeah the mk5 mirrors hardly fold in, which is not ideal.

Happy: Yesterday I gave in and test fitted my new OEM fogs/grilles, will be taking them off again at the weekend. Just need to get the loom now. Very very happy with them.



Unhappy: Discovering more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more flipping stone chips.  :sad1:

on the S and SE it would be moulded plastic so you can't fix the badge to it

Just got an Ed30 front splitter. Bargain at £50. It has a small crack that has been repaired (kinda) but the body shop quoted me £80 to repair and paint. None too shabby. Just have to wait a month  :indifferent:

Given it a good wash and cleaned all the glass, will wait till tonight when its cooler to polish and finish it off. So many stone chips and swirl marks though  :sad1:
