Car looked well at Dubshed. Had intended to get talking to you, but the only time I saw what I assume to be you near it (unless there was someone else standing leaning on it) you were with someone.

New carbon spoiler extension, reasonably subtle and not too in yer face, I'm not a big fan of anything too garish and i'm pleased with the finish on this. A really deep 3D glossy job. This was just placement test and isn't fixed down yet as it was looking like a shower i didn't want to attempt it. Car needs a full detail anyway and i can do that while i wait on this drying tomorrow.
Some nasty looking swirls that need the DA to sort out.

Hunter four wheel alignment? worth every penny.
Some pics of the grey barge on the ramps at Ivan Kerrs, (thanks John and Ivan) all top lads and know their stuff.
have to say the Hunter machine is quite the piece of kit! I had new tyres on from about 2 weeks ago and the wear was already starting to show as my alignment was badly out. The toe and camber on the back was pretty bad hence the worn bearing ike road noise which has all but dissappeared completely. The results below you can see the before and after, (there is supposed to be some negative camber on the fronts for better handling, it cant be adjusted like this anyway).
this is definitely worth doing if you have had a new set of rubber fitted.

You’re very welcome, thanks again for calling in today.
May I ask, did you go upstairs for that photo from above or just a reaaaaaally long selfie stick?!

Fitted a detachable towbar which hides behind a new carbon diffuser and added a carbon screen deflector on the front.
carbon deflector at the top of the windscreen, stops stone chips on the lip of the roof which are prone to corrode.
carbon deflector and reflectors replaced, theres a westfalia towbar hiding under there. Impossible to see as three screws hold a removalble hatch.
lovely deep carbon weave
"look at the shiney shiney!"
also tried the new sonax tyre dressing and its good stuff.

Ive been trying different combos of products and got this stuff which is really handy if you are in a rush. Orchard, speed wax, I have their spray sealant as well which works the same as C2v3.
This side was machine polished with a Deltalyo DAS6 Pro and Carpro finisher, a softish compound with decent results done a few weeks ago to get rid of the swirls. I've used Sonax extreme on the tyre walls, i love this stuff, easy on and no mess on the alloy. The price point is perfect, you can get two bottles for the price of the most competitors. I will try the sonax BSD next as i really like this stuff.
Really came up bright considering the short amount of time and single cutting compound. I'm not sure just how hard skoda paint is, if its VAG hard then it should take a heavier cut for the other side.
