Default The new cossie after a machine polish

Spent a fair few hours machine polishing the cossie over the last week, wasnt happy after i hand polished it as there were still minor swirls in the clear coat,so out came the makita, used a medium cut lake county pad with menzerna 203s followed buy a couple of coats of poorboys blackhole then a coat of nattys blue wax.

Then went over the engine bay with g101 and dressed it with aerospace 303

Went to a local show on the sunday which had a god mix of cars , heres a few pictures

Am Pretty happy with the car as it is to be honest, few things i would like to do in the near future are new coilovers, possibly a front ap brake upgrade and rs 500 type rad and intercooler.

Apart from that just keep it clean and enjoy it,

lovely motor,

your s2 was lovely but this wins hands down!

How does it feel having done nothing since purchase to spec but having already passed the power output of the s2?? I assume this is more than your s2 bhp?

sweet ride!

Hi Dave, thanks for the kind comment, the cossie is around the same power as the s2 was at the moment (320hp) although it doesnt feel as quick as the s2 its quick enough for me as a read car and a better all rounder so am chuffed to bits

IS that Neil's (Bullet's) EsCos behind yours in one of the pics? You've used some good products on the car there too mate. My Gloss Black EsCos has 2 coats of Black Hole, and then 2 coats of Natty's Blue - comes up looking Sweet as after a good Polish. Can't beat that 303 stuff either on the engine bay. Did you use it on the black trim round the car too - door handles etc? It works well on them if you didn't....

Hi mate, yes thats right, was a local show to us and was a good day.

Love blackhole and nattys blue as there so easy to buff off and with no effort.

For the door handles and black exterior trim i used a product called black wow which is really good also
