:D yup, using auto SRP the now as had a white zetec before but now looking at whats best for a coloured car. been looking at the dojo stuff, do you know if thats any good?

The choice of your picture location wasn't bad either. :D

Dodo Juice is a very good product. You would need Purple Haze, Blue Velvet or Supernatural. Then might want to get a top coat sealent. So Red Mist Tropical will do a good job. Don't forget the discount code we have for www.i4detailing.co.uk. Use discount code I4D123456 for 7.5% off

Very Nice Indeed!

Is this a brand spanking new one? If so I would you can't order this no more unless your lucky to find one in stock at a dealer.

just ordered some dojo purple haze, dojo shampoo, red mist and some clay and lube. thanks for the advice.

it is a 61 plate i think, registered just before the 12 plates came out i think. it had been sitting at local ford dealer for a while so got a very good deal on it.

got windows tinted today, reversing at night is bit different know :wacko:IMG_0963.jpgIMG_0964.jpgIMG_0965.jpgIMG_0966.jpg

they were £80 for back 3 windows and sunstrip.

Where's the stripes over the top gone? :o

  • Author

was not to keen on them but i like the stripe down the side

Thats a nice colour.. i like it! Plus £80 is not bad, i'd like to get my rear window done first, then the two sides...

  • Author

was gonna get front 2 done but thought cops might pull me just to see how much tint it was if they were having a quiet night :D . but yeah starting to forget they are that dark now. really makes a difference to look of the car

looks awesome, really like the white badges.

You thinking of getting some springs or coilies? I really want to get coilies but they are so damn expensive and springs dont really do a whole lot...

  • Author

yeah fancy them to but cant justify the price of them :). all i have done is tinted the windows and fitted the pipercross hfic from puma speed, sounds sweet now like :D

very nice!

  • Author

cheers colin.

But on another note, i am thinking of lowering it but never done this before so was wondering if anybody knew what springs are the best ones to get fitted and whats the lowest to go to?

Love it, the colour is amazing. Makes me rather jealous. I de-striped mine the other day, although I don't have an S1600! The dealer fitted carbon fibre (effect or real, not sure) stripes, which collected wax/polish/sealant like a bugger and ended up looking bird-doing spattered.

sorry if pics are too big

I am loving the mods! I like the tints on the rear windows! Also personally, I prefer it without the top stripes, but I am biased ;-)
