Arden VXR Clean

As above, leave it be.

Pretty much perfect as it is.

Chrome strip along the windows would be the only thing I'd darken.

 

[gsmith]

Thanks everyone. @mcmurray already on it. The window strips will be done by the weekend if I get time. Lol.

 

[gsmith]

Been a long time from I updated new parts arrived today. Hoping to have them fitted for the Ballymena car fest.
Genuine Vauxhall xenon headlights
Dna tophat with black silicone hose
Xenon kit
New return valve due to my own mistake
Have a splitter on its way carbon mirrors hopefully being sorted within next few weeks. Rear boot trim handle is going gloss black. Ordering a rear half cage and either bbs ch or revos. Was very nearly having to sell up but thankfully it's still here.

 

[gsmith]

Can anyone recommend someone willing to come to me to wrap the door strips?

 

[gsmith]

Anyone know we're I could get engine bay bolts to tidy up round the slam panel etc.

Lovely car mine , are the head lights u got afl ? My car has afl and I would love to replace the lamps as there getting a bit faded looking

 

[gsmith]

There bi xenon just mate but there genuine vauxhall. Ordered my new loom last night which means I don't have to splice into my wires. What's the spec on your one mate?

 

[mcmurray]

Seen this on Saturday at Carryduff @gsmith . Lovely example.

 

[gsmith]

Thanks @mcmurray hoping to have it mapped again within next week or so and most the new bits fitted for Ballymena next Saturday. Have this 2 years next month new record for me. Really hoping to put the half cage in and a set of seats.

 

[gsmith]

Got the chrome strips done in gloss black last bits of chrome now are the rear plinth and the front fog surrounds which will be getting done gloss black also. Looks arrived for the headlights but looking less and less likely that my splitter is going to be here on time for Saturday.

 

[MATT93]

That makes such a difference! What's the finish like up close?

Only took you 5 months.

Looks great.

 

[gsmith]

Only 5 months I know. Lol. @MATT93 there dead on up close. Someone actually left me there name and number at Ballymena carfest about buying the car.

 

[Stu Beck]

This thread started in july 2013 and you still havent finished cleaning it.

 

[Stu Beck]

Maybe change the title. lol

 

[gsmith]

Never mind that @scooby stu it started in 2013 and I still have the car. Lol.

 

[Stu Beck]

Put yourself out of misery and buy a scoob.

Flat four yo! They're so hard to beat bang for buck!

Can't say in surprised someone wanted to buy it, I'm sure it's 100x nicer than most of the other ones for sale

 

[gsmith]

Would love an impreza but hard to find one that ticks all the boxes. Still have a notion for another St focus or a mk1 rs focus.

MK1 RS or MK2 RS for the win!

 

[gsmith]

Would love a mk1 wouldn't spend the money on a mk2 simply because there really going to have to take a hit sooner or later. The price of some of them is nearing the price of them when they were new. To even find a St focus in the spec of mine with the miles and comdition are 1500-2k more now than what mine was 2 years ago it's mad. Lol.

Mk1's are on the up so now's the time to buy! I agree with the mk2 prices, they are stupid at the moment.

 

[gsmith]

Yup mk2 are mad prices. A nice mk1 would be nice and if kept standard don't think there would be any money lost on one.
