    awesome products, both the polish and sealant. easy on/off no residue or white marks on trim.

    I like the wheels but am tempted by either Heico 5's 19" or 19" replica pegs... a photoshop might be required....

    Not been on here for some time as I now have an S type Jag. But.........I was in Newport IW earlier today. Waiting to join dual carriageway (aka "The motorway"!!) C70, top down, pulled up alongside me. Said to my wife, "great looking C70 alongside me!" With a squeel of tyres he headed off up dual carriage way. Seeing number plate it had to be Jimka!!!! Good to make contact again . Beautiful car. Driven with panache!!

    Was visiting some friends so took the car over...

    The above does sound like me - Week before I had her Polestar'd - it does have a habit of teasing the Traction Control now...!

    Next time I'm over I'll pull over and say Hi.. - Hope you're well. "Panache" - Love it!

    I'd been thinking about the Polestar upgrade but, given that it only adds 20 horses and and extra 50 nm of torque, I decided it probably wasn't worth it. Does it make much of a difference mate? Was yours 220bhp or 230 prior to the upgrade?
