Richf Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Bought my car a couple of weeks ago on the 14th November 2013 so thought i'd document the project It was a stock '07 HR model with the GT pack , only two owners the first one did 34,000 miles in two years the last owner only did 20k in four , full main dealer history Few chips and scrapes on what is essentially an "honest" car its been enjoyed but not enthusiast owned so needs a bit of TLC Few issues when i bought it : Rear tyres low Idle too high Oil pressure reading too low Service due in Dec No mats throughout Bit grubby First pics the day after i collected it First job a proper detail Snow foamed and washed , then clayed ,washed again, then polished with Blackfire Gloss enhancer applied with a DA, LSP was Supernatural Hybrid then Supernatural Acrylic spritz Didnt remove the wheels as I normally do but just a good clean with Espuma revolution then Zaino ZAIO and then rimwax and supernatural spritz Interior washed with warm water and fairy liquid , seats treated with Zaino leather in a bottle Windows cleaned with isoprop and water and then polished and treated with Carlack , side windows just have Supernatural on them Under the bonnet cleaned with Surfex and then treated with 303 protector Also popped up to Horsham developments for a pair of air filters (They were filthy) and a gallon of oil to see if that made any difference to the reading (It didnt) Some afters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richf Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 Went to a local meet and someone took a nice pic under the lights which show the depth of gloss a little better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richf Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 So next job was to get some mats , just a set of OEM ones for now Then I did the BOSE hack so I can use my ipod in the car , dont need a pic of that or the new Supersports fitted on the back This weekend I fitted my Blackvue dashcam which I removed from my old car , its too the right of the rear view mirror in this pic Also plastic dipped the lower front bumper , not so sure about this but will live with it for a bit . And marmite though it may be , I had some flyeyes stuff left over so applied some to the front reflectors as they are far too orange for my liking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
