nice pics indeed! I had my car 2 weeks, drove it to Shell servo for some VPower and went in to pay. Came back 10 secs later to find a 4WD reversed his tow bar and cracked my front bumper. Unlucky for him the servo guy was really helpful and gave the rego of the car and tape to the police who tracked him down...so was fixed through his insurance and not mine!

[SilvrFoxX]

hoorah! even i feel relieved now

if you find yourself needing a detail, my friend does a pretty good job i'd say:



i remember it rained while i was driving home from the detail, and by the time i got home the car was already dry

Question, did he use wax or synthetic product.. looks synthetic

pretty sure it was synthetic, came out of a bottle. process was something like wash, clay, wash, polish/wax (not sure which order). was too busy installing my ebay head unit to watch him carefully heheh

Sounds right, I have been using wax for a while, though I think the RB looks better with synthetic and it lasts longer.. will detail mine at xmas again

Sorry to hear about the damage - they are never the same afterwards but al least it preps you for the next damage, that will occur for sure

That happened the day I drove it off the dealers yard. The new car feel fades quick.

You happy to have you baby home now

Kinda blah on it at the moment. Still, saves catching the bus.

[SilvrFoxX]

Sorry to hear, I still always think at every point of the day how it would be so much better if I was driving

Do you work in the city, do you drive in..?

Work on the Northern Beaches so about 2-3 hours driving per day.

I'm going to be changing from a ferry ride to work in the city to a commute to the central coast 3 days a week. Kinda half looking forward to it. Drive back along the old road on stressful days

Get my car back today yay!!.. fingers crossed it is all repaired properly, don't want to have a similar experience to [B]candyman[B] The work took longer than I expected so I am hoping it means it is a job well done.
Next week it goes back to the dealership for a third go at getting the shudder fixed.

I just want my car driving and looking perfect for my Christmas break!
