I'll have you know, it has not seen a workshop for 60 days 🤣

Cleaned and sealed (using up my Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic sealant) both cars as we head into the shitty part of the year - annoyingly the Audi, being fresh off a two stage correction now has a better finish than the E46 😢

@Gaz it is absolutely stunning

@qube when I'm broke 😂

Little baby update - a couple of interior finishing (is there such a thing?) touches: Got some Alcantara boots made for the shifter and handbrake handle with custom stitching to match the Caramel seats, along with a black alloy handbrake handle to match the shifter and piano black trim.

MSport / AMG Line / S-Line / R-Line - even Hyundai is offering an N-Line, trading off their illustrious motorsport heritage and performance pedigree of the i30 N 🤣

Egg yolk is where the nutrients are, I just went extra free range yolk

Some incredible cars this morning at Caffeine and Classics but this is the only one I took a picture of 😍

Yeah, will give it a nudge, must admit I’m a complete FCP fanboy but looks like a good value alternative.

Just discovered RockAuto now! Loads of brands of not heard of but some I have - guess they play at the lower end of the market but prices are great!

Funny - I initially came across him on an Nz Honda’s forum post

SGT performance in Henderson - Scott did a great job - was $500 but a lot of work given the overspray etc. picked him, seemed a good balance between the elite ($$$) detailers and the cheap Facebook amateurs.

Got a pro to do it, I believe it was a wash, clay, 1st heavy compound for scratches and overspray then 2nd finer polish - e.g ‘2 stage correction’

Yeah, so I’m defiantly keeping the E46 🤣

Finally got around to getting a proper paint correction done. Car had quite a few little scratches, lots of swirl marks and a lots of over overspray with water spotting in its time being passed from shop to shop to shop by the prick dealer with no-one seemingly taking any car. Anyway, its come up great, looks like a different colour and for once in its life is cleaner than the E46 🤣

I think they look fantastic - not a traditionally beautiful car maybe but absolutely unique and very dramatic. Love Woodcock road as well - need to go for a blast up South Head sometime.

Sad but true possibly

Great scene hahaha

Went for $11,900 - can only imagine what an Estoril Blue M3 is worth 😜

Installed adjustable sway bar end links and readjusted my short shifter throw and height. Then gave it a wash and wax to celebrate, looking like a rolling mirror. Went to Supermarket, come back to my car and some prick has thrown a half empty 2 litre coke bottle next it, splashing coke on one side. See a small group of teenagers not far away sitting on one of those big clothing recycling bins drinking coke - I take the bottle up to them and asked angrily if they had dropped their bottle - it become pretty clear who was the culprit so I barked a mini lecture and flicked the bottle up at him, fortunately scoring a direct hit in the face. Got home and the coke had beaded right off, thanks CarPro Elixer - hopefully the kids learnt a little lesson too.

Interesting, I quite like my Hankooks although I’m using V12 Evo 2s.

@KwS yeah, Ech2o was a game changer for me - so easy, and leaves a decent amount of waxy goodness as well. Works as a clay lube too - if you're into that. Pretty much converted me to the hole CarPro range which is consistently excellent.
