    Your right owner was a lovely guy around 70 left I think
     
  8. Nice one Ed, don't see many red ones.

    My dad had a Z3M Coupe back in the day, a metallic yellow one, a bit quirky but definitely something about them, roundabouts in the wet could be interesting.....:wink:

    Thanks Andy completely agree
     
  10. Just a quick one; the work you do is phenomenal, but can't help but notice the calipers aren't cleaned over? The picture of the front wheel with the red caliper- can't help but think if that was cleaned over, it'll look and really bring out the red behind the wheels? unless it's the picture/lighting..?

    Calipers were cleaned up but sadly all of the paint is ready to lift and flake off so apart from being cleaned up they were left at the owners wish as it would of taken a good amount of prep and paint to get them back to a nice finish.
     
  12. Ohh I see, that's fair enough!
    Cracking job though :smile:
     
  13. Great job Ed! Its Tom Snelling here, used to have the Punto GT (RIP!).

    Good to see youre still keeping up with the detailing business mate, may have a couple of cars for you to do at some point!

    Hello Tom

    Blimey it's been a while, what do you think of the r26 mate.

    got brands gp booked next Wednesday not 100% I can make it yet though.
     
  15. Yet Another fine job Ed.....
    One day I will get you to work your magic on my Meg.

    Munish
     
  16. Its a proper motor, performance out of the box through the twisties instead off having to spend to get it is nice!

    Doing Bedford on Aug 1st then Brands on the 19th possibly.
     
  17. What a great looking car, and, as always, a top job done by yourself. Can I ask whereabouts your located? my paintwork is a mess,,,,,
