    busy busy me

    Dont want to be boring but I have never put a picture of my car on here yet. Today I have spent all day cleaning inside and outside the car as well as the engine after a slight mishap. It is the first day without snow and rain for a while so I thought I would make the most of it...

    What do you think?

    You should have seen the state of it, I felt ashamed driving it so dirty. Thanks for the kind words!

    One of the best things about spending time valeting a car is the end result. I am sure you are very happy with the result you achieved as the car looks lovely

    Now all you need is some bigger brakes to fill those huge gaps inside the wheels

    Agreed, lovely looking car buddy

    I had to valet mine today as well, hadnt done it for about 3 weeks with the snow and slush etc etc, didnt look too bad considering, but then again the silver hides the dirt pretty well

    I'll get a piccy of mine up tomorrow, whilst she is clean

    Thanks again chaps for the comments I don't mind the wheels But I would prefer comets, I also hate the ride as I am running really low profile tyres. I would sell the wheels anytime for the right money or swap. Anyway thanks again people
