Wow you'd never find cars in that nick over here...

Do you have a photographic history of your cars?

looks fantastic,

Is that a new rear wiper arm?

k10rgr · Post by **k10rgr** » Tue 21 Jun, 2011 19:25

Wiper arm is off Mk5 golf gti.
Compliments aero wipers on the front.
Also has honda s2000 ariel.
How do you get a shine like that.
Time & patience.
I detail cars in my spare time.
Process
Power washed
Washed with 2 bucket method using mild solution of fairy to strip car.
Clayed
Washed
Used a combination of 3m yellow, Merzena, Limeprime to correct via DA.
Isoprop wipedown
2 x coats of poorboys black hole
2 x coats of R222 100% carunba
1 x coat of Megs gold glass

Black is hard hard colour to get just right, a lot of experimentation.

Great looking car, I love it.
The nearest I am to having one of those, sadly, is my chicken coupe.

Stunning car, thats the look I'm aiming for, forgot to mention car has AC Schnitzer shortshift, gearlever, handbrake and pedal covers.
Flippers 1st on the list, then wheels.

The wee Zed is fine thanks mate

Always admired that Coupe of yours....It's a fine example

What wheels are you going for?

k10rgr · Post by **k10rgr** » Thu 23 Jun, 2011 21:36

Would love LM's Yan, a bit rich though.
More likely to be some form of ACS or Hamann.
Hard to find a set due to the offset.
Always on the lookout.
Would only go up to 18".

Kevin.

If this one is going to be a keeper

It would have to be the LM's or ACS type 2's imo, forget the Hamann

Although I really like my oem rims if a set of rondell 21's came up I may consider a change, imo they look great

Hi James,

Kev's Coupe has a 3.46 multi plate LSD (40% lock and modified ramp angles) = a quicker 0-60

The car was formally owned by Chippy.

Ahh nice

any idea of costs involved and where from?

Also Kevin how do you rate the prospeeds for noise/build quality (when compared to your old MR)

k10rgr · Post by **k10rgr** » Sat 25 Jun, 2011 15:39

Noise wise, it's superb.
Low down very deep, higher speed no boom as is the case with a few aftermarket systems.
The build quality of the prospeed system is very good, the larger tips finish off the back end nicely.
I know the diff is very rare.
