Haha definitely mate!

Ive got some hertz coaxials in my loop, they are so good!

Yeah man I heard a full hertz system at a cruise that was in a demo car for an audio company and it was unreal. Looking forward to trying something different to alpine! :D

How it looked at the start:

84903E81-255D-4940-B5D7-37BD9F5779EB-724

Started off with the wheels:

8A7A995E-8F71-42B9-B416-CD05DCB54354-724

Along with Megs nxt all metal polish for the dishes:

8420F7E7-F6E2-49EE-AB6C-E85DBB19A8E4-724

Onto the centre caps, these were a bit of a bitch cos they're alu and not stainless...still came up awesome with the megs polish though :)

Before:

BF822AC2-47D0-446D-82CE-B05337FD466B-724

After:

A17E1EA6-0C5E-428B-8E14-9529EC4B5393-724

DD505BD6-E46B-4E49-B595-893D37938441-724

Then to start prepping the paint for the machine polish...

Car cleaned using two bucket method, carpro cquartz wool wash mitt, chemical guys glossworkz shampoo and then Paint de-ironed with Iron-X (sprayed on, rubbed in with MF towel, left for 5 minutes for it to turn from purple to red, rubbed off with clean MF then jetwashed).

Wiped down then foamed again

De-tarred with autosmart tardis. Any last contaminants were taken care of with the bilt hamber soft clay bar. Awesome bar as it doesnt need clay bar lube, just water :)

Car then snowed and shampood using 2BM again...almost ready for polish!

Decided to sell up as I'm looking for something different and a new project. Wheels have been put up in the classifieds and the steering wheel has already sold. Car will be put up for sale in the near future.

May as well stick the ad in here too...

For sale are my BBS RMs. Had these for just over a year or so now and have been running them throughout summer on my lupo gti. I've taken the car and entered it into a number of shows where it has won a few prizes so the wheels had to be in immaculate condition.

Spec:

15x7.5 et 20.5
Centre Bore 57.1
PCD 4x100
1" stainless steel dishes;
Stainless bolts;
Polished aluminium centre caps;
Bridgestone potenzas all round with good tread (3 are practically brand new)
Show condition;
Located in Livingston, Scotland

would be looking for £1100
