Top job there. Knew it was CB from the flash shots. Come out really well. And a definite bargain at £250.

The X looks great  :thumbsup: and for the work that went into it, a real bargain at £200.  I'm sure he was really pleased with the results himself and the large tip.

Will the car not look the same as it did before the work was done after 1000 miles in the salt covered roads ?

If its not cleaned then yes but the detail is to de-swirl the paintwork to start and then put decent wax/sealant on to protect the paintwork and make it easier to clean.

That looks ace and well worth £250!! Would rather spend my money on this than a remap but like you, I wouldnt want to drive it. Looks more fitting on a mantel piece, lol

Detail it yourself, get a remap and it's a win win situation.

Ps, how big is your fireplace if you can fit an X on the mantle :o
