Hi folks,
I just cleaned my car for the first time today, since buying it, so I thought I'd put up some pics of her looking good. It was pretty gross pre wash, so I decided to spend a good few hours at it. We attacked it with my mates polishing machine too and managed to get out some annoying scratches.
Machine Polisher
Wax 
It's all pretty standard still at the mo, I've only smoked some lights. I'm planning to attack the alloys with rattle cans ASAP
Had a quick play in photo shop too (I'm useless at it). Ignore the side strips though, i'm going to colour code ASAP.

No offense but I hate that photoshop, the windows look way too dark and blacked out rear lights look s**t IMO. Like the alloys though

To be honest I agree with you pretty much  . After making that pic I don't think I'll bother with the window tints. However I do love the smoked rear lights, the pic is a bit crap though, should look much better when it's done

tidy... plans are good not so dark tints and little things like ph2 boot strip and colour coding will make a big difference

eurgh this makes me deadly jealous, a car a year and a half older than mine that makes mine look 10000 years old lol.
looks really good
i'm not too keen on the photoshop though, especially the wheels.

Looks well mate, i got a firedance xsi aswell with limo black on the rear 3 windows and medium smoke on front 2 and i get nothing but compliments about it. The theme of my car is black and orange so personally i like the limo black against the orange. I gave mine a good clean today and got a few pics so il post them up at some stage tonight

That's generally what I'm aiming for too, black and orange. If I can find some cheap morettes, i'll get them in black, otherwise i'm going to put some black angel eyes in. Along with the wheels it should look nice ... eventually

I had black angel eyes in mine as you can see in the sig but i sold them as i had a set of morettes coming to be but the guy decided to keep them at the last minute so ive 'masked' my lights following the how-to guide on here and im over the moon with them...
I got mine booked in this saturday to get the roof done black then the wheels are being painted graphite the following weekend aswell as the rear being dropped a tad as its sitting a little higher than the front.
