Yes it looked new after, little things like the drain channels in the boot ( mouldy ) and rear parcel shelf and chrome bumper loading lip, when detailed make a huge difference.Shame let down by delaminated badges and a corroded wheel .

[SlobbyK]

Phew!!! Chris and Alan, I'm as tired just reading the detail of all the work you did as I was walking up cardiac hill from Bingley Station to your house to collect my babe.

I really appreciate the skill and hard work you both put into today, the car truly looks gorgeous. As advised I'll tackle the stone chips and try and get out of warranty badge replacements. I'm planning on getting an alloy spare so will use the poor one as the spare.

Good to meet you Chris, Soz to miss you Alan and nice to meet you as well Wayne and your lad. (I followed his instructions to get home to the letter) thanks for the nod on getting replacement badges using the recall system.

I've had a good day, met some good people, had a curry at the Bradford Kashmir ( I went there 42 years ago!!!), saw a brill 3D IMAX film at the media museum and got a 'new' car, can't be bad I say. I can see a six monthly top up of a curry and a 'clean' in the wind. (Downwind obviously)

Thanks again, Chris and Alan.

Cheers Robert.

We both really enjoyed our 'session' with the car

The paintwork was badly needing some TLC...dull and swirled

I think it came up really well

Glad you had a good day too Robert...that walk up the hill can be a killer...especially after a Curry!!

Hope to see you again sometime when you need that wax topping up

Thanks again

Chris n Alan

[samuir1974]

Great job on both the Superb and Suzuki there Chris.

I love the nice wet look to the blue Suzuki paint - looking for the same on the R36 mate
