C3 LJG 0 Posted August 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I picked it up for £4000, plans straight away are to fit an exhaust, filter, change the front and rear lights and get my personal plate on. I will then spend a few days machine polishing the body (i am a detailer by trade!) and get it looking like glass!!In the near futre the wheels, suspension will be changed as i am not a big fan of the RS6's but they are nearly new with nearly new tyres so will run them over the winter and i may remove the votex kit and sell on. TOver the winter various parts will be getting chromed and polished aswell! Link to post Share on other sites

Any tips on how to polish (to get that shine back) if you don't have a machine or is there no point ...? Link to post Share on other sites
Jk* 0 Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Looks like an excellent place to start. The good thing is, the parts you have you can sell @ a good price, so @ times the new mods may pay for themselves. Nice buy! Link to post Share on other sites
hellsVR6 0 Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Nice, if you weren't so far away I'd be asking you to detail mine for me..lolLiking the Deutsche number plates too.

Any tips on how to polish (to get that shine back) if you don't have a machine or is there no point ...?Give it a good wash, the clay the whole car, wash again, then use a good polish follow that with a good sealant and finish with wax, leave for 24hrs and apply a second coat of wax. Always use good quality microfibres and keep turning them. The other is to remember to do things like the wheel arch liners and any plastics should be dressed along with and metal work polished and the tyres dressed as these just finish things off and don't detract from the rest of the work you have done on the paint.I will do a full write up when i do the new one.

C3 LJG 0 Posted September 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 The bezza sold pretty quickly, and wasn't going to rush into a new car was going to wait for the right one well that took all of a few days!Picked up the new ride last night, just had time to give it a quick wash and hoover, remove rear wiper.Got a few bits in the pipeline! Anyway heres a few pics of the ride, got full votex kit, hella twin lights, eibach suspension and an exhaust that was all fitted from the factory.Over the weekend the car will have a full detail and fit a few of the mods i have picked up already.
