NIKH25 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Hope so mate. Certainly been well looked after and mechanically wise is mint. Even the rocker cover is still perfect!!Oh really?? Why/how is it different??Thanks mate, nice of you. Found one breaker that's got one.. Although I think when you factor in postage as he's miles away, it's going to work out pretty pricey. Is the mb6 ARB thinner do you know?? MG ashtray is a complete cover, so the lighter is inside. MB6 arb is around 4mm thinner than the 180's but as the deck doesn't have one to start with it's an upgrade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out one4all's thread, he's just changed to the silver in his and it looks nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have a look at his thread shortly Am tempted to get a roll of carbon wrap, do the centre consoles and dash surround. Plus the Plastic b pillars as they have faded.

Grant Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 So, first rant. Well only rant. Friggin halfrauds.. Autoglym shampoo conditioner, £9.99 for 1l .. Bit pricey but not the worst I've seen. BUT next to it on the shelf, 2.5l .... Wait for it... For £14.99!!! Do they really think we're that stupid!?! So rant over, got that and a nice new microfiber wash mit. Off we go. Before;So after a quick clean. And I mean a very quick clean. Was only out there for an hour and a bit. Plus I started to loose the light and the temperature dropped causing it to condensate before I had a chance to dry with the second micro fibre cloth (Grrr) But here are a couple of after shots. Came up pretty well I think. Although the paint is in DESPERATE need of a polish. It was proper nails down a black board feeling when going over the roof and bonnet. Loads of swirls, but majority should work out over a couple of polishes. There are maybe 8 'dings' I've identified, so fingers crossed a ding master company will be at japfest next year.. But despite the condensation, I think she's scrubbed up pretty well for a first clean. Quick once over with a little break cleaner and a rag on the bay tooKeen for your thoughts chaps!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
