steely Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 have you thought of buying one of those mopping kits meguairs do one for £140 http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/detailing-supplies/machine-polishing-kits.aspx btw great find and the rs is nice always liked them thanks chap. the RS is in amazing condition. hence why i'm keeping it. it gives me a big smile everytime i drive it. as for the machine polish kit, i wasn't planning on spending that much on a kit to restore the paint work. i'm not afraid of some elbow grease. even tho that polisher will be far more superior than my hands.... thanks for the link tho chap. i have safed it anyway. much appreciated:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lude Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 i bet it would look a million times better after a long day of cleaning. good price tho, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steely Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 Hello peeps. been away for awhile. i managed to get the supra cleaned up with my friend and found that it wasn't blue Its actually black. what a spanner. HERE IS A PICTURE OF IT BEFORE I POLISHED IT AND NOW ITS BEEN POLISHED UP. ALSO HAVE MY NEW STANDARD WHEELS ON i used T-CUT and SRP to get it the way it is. altho it could do with a proper buffing. hope you like?

Attero Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Nice. Just needs a bit of looking after and wham, it's back to how it should be. Looks good. Keep it up and you'll be putting some real value on it! What do you plan on doing with the car? Keeping it? Selling it? Upgrading it?

Keep it up and you'll be putting some real value on it! What do you plan on doing with the car? Keeping it? Selling it? Upgrading it? most probo keep it for abit. even tho i could make profit as it is now. will either sell next year for a twin turbo or convert this i think. it will need a respray TBH as its far from perfect. i need to start stripping the underneath for undersealing and get the new lines fitted. i also need to sort out this exhaust. has anybody use these before?? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380216230422&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
