Well Damo ,(Evil Miyagi) Briskoda who lives in Rochdale brought his A5 round to be detailed, he has had a Fabia vRS but updated to this, . I saw him at the Lancashire Stretton Fox meet last week and suggested he brought it round,.It  now has 325 bhp and 500 lb/ft of torque and having driven it vouch for the fact it shifts. The turning circle is better than the R36 . Every extra inside. A Miltec four tailpipe exhaust and a dpf delete completes the mods. The car was not very dirty but the wheels had never been cleaned properly ,so iron x to work. then ph neutral snow foamed ,rinsed , then Gold class shampooed  . Rinsed then mammoth towel dried . the paint work was swirl free but tar spots everywhere.Used GT85 with kitchen roll to remove. I used the cone pad on my drill with autosol to polish the milltek exhausts. Then I applied Mer finish wax and buffed, then leaving to cure used Sonax extreme BSD to create a waterproof layer.

Great job Alan

I hope Damo learnt how to keep it clean as well

Sonax does help

Is he aware that a DPF delete means an MOT failure?

It has just passed one !

Well...blow me down!

Thanks Alan, great couple of hours and I learned a lot just got to buy the stuff now

Things to do:

Refurb alloys, few scrapes and dings but not to bad in general...

Get the couple of stone chips sorted - there are only two major ones I want to really get done

Service it....

And finally, get the power figures checked, they may be quoted on the high side but I can't confirm either way yet . But it does pull like a strong thing pulling.

Sorry I missed you Damo..... but I was sorting Wayne with his summer wheels and a wash on Audrey

Alan's done a good job there

It certainly looks like a beast

What DPF delete? It didn't have one when I bought it

No worries Chris, you'll more than likely see Audrey soon... My Audrey is the younger model

Adriana perhaps

IF YOU had a dpf your exhausts would not be black! Also forgot to mention another reason that you found it hard to see out of the back , your electic dipping mirror button was pressed so mirror was darkened. I set it for normal

Agreed but the it wouldn't sound so good

When you say 'set it to normal' do you mean turned off the auto dimming mirror?

Awesome looking car and a nice detail there Alan! Great work as always mate  

 

Wish i had been there to help out; as the S5 is on my list of possible next cars;

so would loved to have a look around - upclose.

 

As i said on your .:R36Owners thread - i expected more pics of the well polished Milltek tailpipes in the write-up! 

Sorry Ste , as I was cleaning Damo was taking pics and as we both had a tight schedule missed the pipes. Damo took some but not really clear , House extension starts today so had to clear kitchen and we all went out for a meal early evening as Sophie made a rare appearence from Nottingham

I've heard he's bought a Five Hundred Foot hose pipe    :yes:

There's always someone who wants to s h I t on your strawberries

Looks great, Damo, and from what I can remember it sounds even better

I couldn't cope with detailing on that driveway - nowhere near enough loose gravel and dirt.

There will be later in the week when the builders move in

What like this you mean?    

There you go, now that's a real space for detailing
