Well...Today I went to visit a mate who offered to help me Snow Foam & wash my car!...lets just say I had a few coffee's and stood around a lot!

Clive was a star, and showed me how the snow foam worked, I've never seen it being used before, some people say it doesn't do much...but I was just excited like a kid to see the whole car looking like a marsh mellow!

So here are a few photos of the day, hope you like!

Pre rinse

Then the snow foam!

[Leon-y-k]

Let it sit for a little bit, and rinse!

and Done!

Mine & Clive's Fabia!

It was a shame it was too damn cold to put a coat of wax on it! but hey ho it's clean for a week at least! :p Thanks!

[Ad Lav]

[Wardy]

Wheel-arch interface aside, lookin' good Leon!

Can't believe you've not used snow foam before either

[Rsrob]

Very nice the car looks good clean but i do think it time you colour coded the front grille :yes: would look good colour coded

[Wilko251088]

Dam mines grimy after last nights run! Doh! Being on the early finish tomorrow!

Yeah? Thanks! I prefer it clean, or super dirty but in the middle it just looks a bit flat and dull, I did think about colour coding the top of the grill to match the body

[Leon-y-k]

I was planning on body coloured top and a green bottom lip on the grill?

Haha Steve Thank you!!! I know after this addiction to cleaning cars I've never come across it until now!! I must get a pressure washer of my own and a drive!!!

I can't wait til after June!!

quiet about the arches!!! haha....

I did get asked if a set of Fabia vRS Koni springs and shocks off the MK1 would fit.....but I'm not sure. :S

It's this dodgy weather isn't it, can't keep nothing clean for more than a few days!!

Had a play...

I quite like the chrome bottom lip but the colour coded top half...

[blueR36]

Bottom pics the one

[fabia55]

too much horrible black plastic, top one, or all colour coded

edit: or how about the black middle grille colour coded, i'm thinking about it on mine, or maybe the lower grille chromed or colour coded

[JLneonhug]

Quite liking the bottom one as well

Oh, since your getting rid of the chrome, i feel you need more silver somewhere (to blend the wheels in more).. maybe wing mirrors?

RE photoshop - Chrome to blue reflection.. did you use colour tint but keeping luminescent? Im still learning..

Hey John!

I copied it, pasted it, desaturated it, then colorised it!

[Leon-y-k]

Hi Leon

How or what are you going to use to colour code these as I quite like it and wolud like to maybe change mine...

Cheers, Matty

[Leon-y-k]

Hi Matty!

I will most likely get a colour match from halfords for a few quid and coat it with primer, I don't think the top of the grill is a special material
