Default 10 hours on the Cup

Finally BH Monday came around which fave me a chance to put in some serious detailing time to do the 172.

JAF is still in my possession but is being picked up this evening.

Anyway

Snowfoam
Rinse
Clay
Rinse
Wash
Rinse
Menzerna 2500 then 4000 polish
Dodo Redmist
Victoria Red Wax
Trim dressed

Very happy, so tidy given its age and tendency for this type of car to be put through the mill..







To do list is to refurb the wheels (anthracite or leave silver?!?) and change the exhaust for something more stealth.

Bye all.

Leave them silver. I do like this colour of blue on clios. Certain car colours on the road just look nice, and this is one of them. Nice job.

I changed my miltek for a ktec stealth race system. You have to remove the rear heat shield to get it to fit well but imo at least, the stealth looks so much better.
With a standard cat its not to loud either and is really raspy.

As for the wheel imo keep them the standard colour, standard looking cars are becoming desirable as they are so rare.

Looks great though mate!

I think 172s look best with just a single exit exhaust and a cut out to suit in the bumper. That or a stealth one
