Yea seeing that pic of the dark ones they do look the dogs mate, and red cars with dark wheels do look good. :thumb: :grin:
 
Maybe a red and black badge would do it for me.... :?:

They do cool badges, that's for sure. 8)

Not sure I'd fork out $400 for one though. :what:

Ben, I am watching you mate. My money is on you getting out of yours as you have said house buy etc. and getting into a red cayman 2.7 with black alloys. I can almost hear the cogs working away. :thumb: :grin: :grin:

I paid $250 shipped for mine and it was a custom made non stock item.

Bengimina looks like she'd be right up Wayne Rooney's street! :grin:

Go for it!!

The plan was to machine polish my Guards red C4S, but things conspired against me today as happens sometimes. So I scaled back my ambitions and decided to skip that stage this time.

Interestingly, after snow foam, a 2 bucket wash, paint decontamination and clay, I was pleasantly surprised. It could definitely do with some paint correction, but it wasn't as bad as expected.

A coat of Blckfire GEP and it was looking pretty good indeed! At which point, in excitement (perhaps), I also forgot to put a coat of AFPP and went straight to putting on a coat of Blackfire Midnight sun. An hour or so later I applied a second coat of MS.

Although I failed spectacularly (twice) today, the results are still very impressive! It actually looks better in the flesh than in the photos. I think it's impossible to get bad results with BF products.

Looking forward to your comments. :)




 
Now it's starting to look like it's getting the monkey magic :dance: that depth is stating to show , you can already see that going to polish up really well :thumb: red looks great when highly polished . 8)

Why thank you..

A machine polish will definitely improve it further, but for what I did and how long it took, I'm quite impressed.
 
That's a cracker! But leave the wheels, silver with red :thumb:
