Been getting the car ready for a magazine photoshoot tomorrow...so over 2 days, I have detailed the car getting it as spot on as I could in the time allowed while working on other cars and projects...

First up was to foam it! Despite when I posted up the last photos of it, it hasn't been washed for around 2-3months!

Then it was washed with Megs NXT car shampoo

Bonnet lifters


Then rolled into the garage for some work...notice the marks on the bonnet thanks to having ribbons on the car for a friends wedding

I believe its in Fast Ford mag this month

Replacing it will be a Merc CLS 320cdi...this will also be receiving the 'SPB' treatment....the spec list so far will be;

Hydraulics - low rider style
20inch rims
Single fin front grill
Custom leather/alcantara retrim (possibly Bentley style stitching)
iPad mini in dash for my head unit
2 18" subs playing free air if I can make them fit
AMG brakes
Wald bodykit
etc etc

Lovely car mate, few questions how did you fit the recaro seats to standard frame?
Would you have any copies of the brackets you used to fit the AMG calipers ? Cheers

The Mercedes CLS, Corsa, Previa, Focus, Golf Mk5 R32 are/were all mine...The Corsa, and Focus have been sold...

Im currently considering building a more track orientated car but will mean that possibly, the Previa may have to go...or maybe Turbocharge the wifes R32 lol
