Can't let Merc do all the polishing!

s60 is looking fine!

Certainly how a s60r should look.

[graemewelch]

that it im hoping around mine with two buckets tomora. looks like youve done a cracking job on both cars, your rear sits higher than the front on the s60. mine is the same, im on eibach springs. its the one thing suspension wise that i hate about mine. poxy i know but it annoys me so much i was tempted to get the angle grinder out pedro style. loving the tints. i fancy getting mine done when funds allow. bet the outer of your front grill would look great if was satin black or colour coded. keep up the good work and more pics the better

[V70 Graham]

Lovely cars, tints looking good, really liking the S60.

[S70T5Chris]

Cheers Graeme. I defo agree on the grill. It's something I thought of a couple of weeks ago myself.

I went with the Elevate springs from America, as they lower the rear more than the front (only 10mm or so), to bring it 'more' level than standard. But I do agree, it could do with a bit more in a perfect world. I looks worse as the picture was taken at a low angle.

The tints were a deal, got the ATR and R done for £280!

bargin. are the fronts done on the s60. im looking for tints that arnt very dark but can tell theyve been done but isnt that obvious theve been done if that makes sense

I haven't touched the fronts. All the glass had a very slight tint from the factory, and you're no longer allowed to mess with the front windows at all. It's not worth the agro of getting pulled for it. 2 Friends of mine have been pulled over and had to peel the tint film off at the side of the road!

[MIKESC70T5]

Looks absolutely cracking Chris, like others have said, the front end looks perfect.

[volvokid]

Leet5 painted his grill surround black. It suits his car

[MIKESC70T5]

One thing that would make it even better would be to put some M badges on the boot

[stribo]

The S60 looks cracking as always mate, don't park it next to ours at the softies meet.

I think you'll find your Beemer would look better with R badges.

Both cars look Stunning Chris it must of been hard work.... How long did it take you?

[Dangerous Dave]

Lovely looking motors there bud.

Those exhausts on the Accord though....need a bumper with cutouts to hide the boxes.

On the facelift model, there is no cutout for the rear exhausts. There is a very slight recess for the rear boxes, but not much. The standard boxes hang on show like that, but as they're black they don't show as much, not a lot you can do about it. I changed the rear section from what it was when I bought it, I personally, am super happy with the exhaust.

Thanks Ian.

The accord didn't take too long. An hour or so maybe. It hasn't long been polished, so a wash off, blast over the paintwork with quick detailer, and some tyre gel, and she was good to go!

The S60R took around 4 hours. Washed off, clay bar'd, polished (megs ultimate), wheels waxed and tyre gel. I didn't have time to do the door/boot shuts and interior. Weekend hopefully!

[leet5r]

[T5frankie]

Cheers Frank. It's a totally different beast to when you first saw it!

There's a D plate 740 turbo estate at my local indy's. Having an engine replaced as it's ££££ itself. It's red with dark titans on, and a nice exhaust, looks luuuuurvely!

Thanks Lee, it's a totally different animal to the S70. I miss the rawness and noise from the S70, but apart from that, it's miles better in every way. More comfortable and refined, handles better, and faster. Do miss that noise though!

[T5RatherAmusin]

looking good buddy!
