I'm hoping so, got a fair amount of pad left on the redstuff's to work through yet so it'll be a while but I'm already starting to drive harder to get through the old pads faster ;) haha
 
Spent today giving the car a good wash, a polish and cracked open new bottle of carnauba wax to finish it off. I have some AutoGlym pack thing that I am trying to finish up as had for a while.

- Rinse
- AutoGlym Active Insect Remover, to get rid of any splattered beasties
- Rinse
- AutoGlym Bodywork Shampoo Conditioner with roasty toasty water
- Rinse
- Turtle Wax Nano Tech wheel cleaner
- Rinse wheels
- Meguiars Natural Chamois to get it all dry
- AutoGlym Super Resin Polish
- Meguiars Deep Crystal Carnauba Wax, used Meguiars Super Terry Towel
- AutoGlym Fast Glass

Spent hours on it, but it's looking more shiney than ever and the paint is super smoooooth to the touch -

:twisted:

Over the moon with my wee chug-a-bug :D
 
Great work mate, satin's always look mint after a nice clean and polish, they seem to look fresh no matter how old they are. :smt023
 
I used Autosol on it mate, but as you know, it's in mint condition, so only took a few minutes.

Good work on the cleaning.
 
Thanks guys.

Aye Nick it was nice and shiney when it went on, must have drove through a puddle and got it manky, but it'll keep the good shine you gave it as long as I am looking after it :cool:
 
Do-Luck Powerline Hoses
Ferodo DS2500 Front Pads
Silkolene Pro Race 2000

All done tonight :) Brake pedal feel is night and day difference from stock, the car is stopping with so much more authority now, wait till the pads are bedded will be even better!

Thanks to Nick for recommending I do these upgrades. I knew there would be an improvement but he re-assured me alot that the difference would give me a big smile and he wasn't wrong. I recommend this or a similar upgrade to anyone, it's awesome.

Fast road setup next :cool:
 
Awesome mate, I'd jump to doing that right now, but I've only just had the fluid replaced.

Soon though.


Great work again
 
Just some new photo's of my car, took them in a multi story in Dundee at a meet and thought they looked OK -

First post updated to include all the pictures.

Mintex rear discs and pads now fitted. My OEM discs were buggered, like you would not believe! I thought the braking was far better after doing lines, pads and new fluid but with these new discs and pads on back it's scary how rubbish my brakes were before haha.

KPRO going in on Saturday :twisted:

Spoon 4-2 and 2-1 secured, picking these up on Saturday as well :twisted:

Also got me some new headlights, none of your fancy HID's though. Got the Extreme Brilliance Xenon's from Halfrauds, 2 for £20 not a bad deal as each bulb was meant to be £20 each! Think they are brilliant as is like, so HID's must be even better! One day I'll get them :)
