Detailed Icelandic Grey Saxamaphone..
Don't suppose anyone has pics of their saxo's that have been detailed by professionals or the likes?
Reason being I spent all day on mine yesterday and it's got to be the colour of it that's just not giving the shine it needs.
Did my dads red mk5 gti and it came out really well.
Just wanted to see what others looked like

Thats pretty good mate, still got the shine and reflections, must admit it is difficult to get a really good finish with the colour, my misses has a red vtr and do exactly the same to hers and hers comes out alot shinier

Aha, abit different aint it, alot of hard work to get it to fit. Not many with the seat cordoba splitter on, most have seat ibiza or renault laguna.
