Can never have to many.....or can you aha

Latest addition to the detailing collection is some chemical guys butter wet wax hopefully on top of the black hole it will give it an even deeper wet look :D although it will require to be topped up every few washes :(

Next on my list to try is chemical guys Clay Block and Luber as it seems to have a few plus points over normal clay bar and the reviews on detailing world seem quite good :)

Hi mate, Your car is looking sweet. Ill be interested on what you have planned for your ICE install. I have one 12'' diamond audio sub and two 4 channel phoenix gold amps with diamond components up front with most of the car sound proofed.

How much did you pay for the G60's? Im thinking of getting some for myself.

Hello Alex,

Car is looking really good. Would you mind telling me where you got your front number plate brackets from? Been thinking about putting mine there for a while. Also have you noticed if it effects the cooling at all, for instance if the fan kicks in more often?

Cheers, Matt

Thanks bud! As for the brackets they where a diy job :) couple of bent pieces of aluminium and some fixing points on the grill so it can be taken on and off for shows easily. As for cooling I haven't noticed any differences since its been down there :)
