Cracking results, you know what question is on everyones lips now don't you

Haha, I believe 80% of this is elbow grease! It's a monster job but we will get it done, hopefully by 2-3pm Saturday.

/\ cheers to the guy above:)

Mike Always clean.

Well we were going to fully retrim in cream leather but to to contrast would cost a fortune as we would need to retrim the bottom half of the dashboard as well as obvious bits on the doors. The next mods are happening in the next month and are:

Bottom section of front bumper is going matte grey, the same colour as the grille.

Bottom part of the rear grille is having the same treatment.

Updated side vents that will be coloureds to contrast the silver and matte grey.

Led updated front headlights.

Led updates rear lights.

Day light running lights interstates into the front bumper.

Vented front and rear disc (as it will need new pads & discs soon)

Rear parking sensors colour codes.

All plastic covers in the enging bay are getting plasti dipped.

Rear TV surrounds are getting finished in piano black.

Piano black/billet range rover gear knob.

Updated pedals.

And we may do the wheels the matte grey finish I put up on my last photos in this thread. Always clean.

Here are a couple of photos guys. The problem is I went on friday but the owner of the garage decieded to have a lay in and when he eventually got there he wanted an early finish as it was friday. So I only got 3 hours down there on friday.

Unfortunately I have got to back to paid work, so it should be around 10 days before I start work on it again.

I removed the inside of the land rover logo that was on the back of the sport and fitted it to the new grille.

Then The rear central brake light was looking pretty tired from some nasty scratches:

So these were removed and wqas left with a near to new finish:

....and the last caliper was finished, all now complete with brembo emblems back in place:

We also got the steering fiitted aswell, which really does look much better! So we also have the standard steering wheel up for sale too.

More update in about 10 days, but for now its time to spend a couple of weeks fitting nothing but these two products for winter!

If you want to protect your wheels this winter from salt, ice, road grime and pitting, these will stop it completely. Get yourself some, these two together can not be beaten!

Absolutely awesome. Looks fantastic!! but you have ruined my life.

Used to think that by washing down with Zymol auto bath and using a clay bar and tar remover then HD Cleanse pre wax cleaner followed by a coat of Zymol carbon wax I was taking it a bit far. Now just feels like I am neglecting the thing! 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

Haha don't be silly your still using good products and to good use. As long as your happy with your efforts then that's what counts:)

Have just finished the entire interior, so pictures up as soon as I have 10 minutes this week. Just got to polish exhaust tips, full engine bay detail. Replace the clips that hold the engine cover on the inside of the bonnet. Then mot Friday and then get the private plates registered! The top boot lid has stopped working so the boot release button has been ordered and is getting fitted at overfinch. Then it will be off to Woking to see my friends at viezu tuning to do a full black box remap on there dyno. Always clean.

Finally have 5 minutes to put the interior shots up. The following products were used:

-Vac steam gun machine.
-Megs APC.
-Swissvax protection matte.
-Swissvax seal feed.
-Swissvax leather cleaner.
-Swissvax leather milk.
-Elephant Fat to protect the seats naturally.

....lots & lots of elbow grease.

Not bad for 67,000 miles 2007 model!

Tomorrow I need to get it MOT'ed, then back to the unit to remove some glue resin on the side steps and then protect them with C1. Then just need tyo polish the rear tail pipes, detail the engine, put the new plates on, fit the billet tax disc holder and it will be complete!....for now:)

Cheers

Mike Always clean.
