  2. As per the title I have for sale a brand new sealed Apple iPad2 32gb, WiFi + 3G model in black sim free (unlocked to all networks) It is an unwanted gift so a genuine reason for sale. Sold for rrp £579 as of last week and now discontinued from the apple store. Please excuse the name tag in the pics, these were to comply with the edition38 forum rules and it is my username on said forum. Looking for a quick sale, so will accept £475 OVNO Collection preferred from Heathrow, West London or add £10 for P+P 07845 598 977
  3. Very nice, look forward to this. Audi sport won't be happy with you doing the front rings black lol I actually think the wheels look ok on your car, what would you replace them with?
  4. I have a pair of Rally replacement lenses from the original group buy I no longer have use for now. :wink:
  5. Spotted a white facelift corrado on gold centred bbs rm's yesterday evening in slough, K12 ADO
  6. 263 cams and remap will see a vr pull hard to the redline, low down torque is increased to pull you along without changing down a gear and the power increase at the top end gives you the 16v feeling that you love :luvlove:
  7. Cheers guys for the kind words, sorry for posting it in the wrong section. Completely missed the car care sub forum. Hassan - Defiantly the weather to get it done 8)
  8. I was contacted by Jackflash after he saw some of the polishing ive done on my brother zak's corrado and wanted the same treatment for his. After agreeing a date for the work to be completed I have to say jack could not have chosen a better day to get it done with the weather forecast to be amazing! The aim was to generally improve the appearance of the car, both internally and externally with some much needed paint correction :) For all those interested here were the products used to conduct this detail. * Meguires quick clay/quick detailer * Makita 9227 cb rotary polisher * Sonus Pads * Menzerna IP 3.01 and FF 85RD * Meguires stage 2 glaze * Collinite 476s wax * Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel * Poorboys Natural look dressing Here are the before pictures: As you can see very dirty :) The car was then washed and then clayed, here is result of claying the upper panels of the car: And then we get towards the bottom: And on the lower doors and the rear of the car: The car was then washed again and dried, the car was looking clean but on closer inspection showed some much needed correction :) I should also mention that the window seals were thoroughly cleaned at this point too because previous polishing efforts had left polish residue making them appear almost white in some areas. Some general marring and swirls A close up of the swirls in direct sunlight: Defect on the wing to be corrected: Swirls on the bonnet: The rear of the car looking very dull for some reason, with little gloss: Time to tape up the vulnerable pieces of trim when polishing. The rear 3/4 after one hit of IP. You can see the difference here where the door still has swirls: The n/s door after one hit of IP: The o/s door after one hit of IP: The o/s rear 3/4 after one hit of IP: Panels checked for swirls with a camera flash: n/s Door again: N/s Wing: Bonnet after one hit of IP: The tail lights were also polished and refreshed: Before After The rear of the car also polished showing a big improvement: The roof after polishing: The light was then fading quickly and I proceeded to finish the polishing with the Menzerna final finish which add's even more gloss to the paint as seen here: The car was then glazed and waxed, all of the black trim was dressed with chemical guys new look trim gel, the windows and door shuts were also cleaned of any polishing dust and any water marks. I also proceeded to clean the interior which I'm gutted I don't have any before pictures of as I was focused on correcting the paint :lol: Anyway im sure jackflash would agree it was rather dirty and very dusty. All the interior plastics and leather were cleaned with all purpose cleaner, the plastics were then dressed with Poorboys natural look dressing. Interior glass and mirrors were cleaned and all carpets and mats hoovered. Well enough talking here are the after pictures: This was all in preparation of the car being shown a GTi spring fest, here's some pic's of it at the show :) Thanks for looking!
