Hi guys I've not been on in a while, there's probably some new members I don't know and some old that I do, in the summer I'm quite anal about keeping the car clean, but in the winter the 70 mile round trip on the lanes it's impossible to keep it clean, I hate driving a dirty car so the sun was out today so I cracked on, here's what it looked like before I started
And here's during
And the finished result after a good clean, some poorboy's black hole glaze and ex sealant, and meguirs quick detailer

Cheers mate. The poorboys stuff is awesome, easy to apply and buff off, and reasonably priced, no doubt some of the detailing guys on here will have something that's better and cheaper, but for me it's great stuff

Yes wedding!!! Getting married in Crete in June, got about 30 family and friends coming, been hard work sorting it out, not to mention how much it's costing, glad to see there's still some recognisable faces on here though

Your car always looked clean and shiney,good to see you back,and congratulations for the wedding plans :),so you changed your mind about selling the rear LED's,and get the M3 look?

I literally scrapped all plans I had for the car and started paying for the wedding mate, I get married in June so once I'm back I think I'm going to strip the 180 and turn it into a track car and buy something more economical for the commute to work, I'm currently spending about £400 a month on fuel, on the upside I have great fun driving on the lanes to work and back, the 180 was made for b roads

Well 400£ for fuel a month is too much i think,but i guess you like to push the throttle to the limit on the lanes while you are going to work ;).
Why to strip it while you can sell it or trade it later after you get married?,anyway please let me know when you are selling the LED's,and Congrats. Again.
