Just washed my car! Nice innit?

jimbohotpants · 19-03-2005, 18:42

I've just spent all day washing, polishing, hoovering etc. so I thought you people might like to see the clean wheels before a get em all flilthy again! Won't be long I can assure you.
I know its not a modded beast, but give me time and things might change!

jimbohotpants · 19-03-2005, 18:43

Maybe I should have hidden the plates. Oh well!

jake · 19-03-2005, 19:13

good job mate. What polish do you use?

AndrewM · 19-03-2005, 19:26

Looks good, could do with a little lowering though?

Do you keep them hidden on the road??

Looks good btw

jimbohotpants · 19-03-2005, 19:51

Cheers geezers

Used a bit o T-Cut, bit o autoglym ultra resin polish for the bodywork. I will have it lowered soon hopefully! juast gotta save a bit o cash and choose the right kit! I'm reckoning on Koni's with Eibach springs at the mo, any thoughts? Took me foookin all day to do her! Lucky it was nice today

I also moved my IPOD install from the glove box to the compartment just below the front ash tray!

Looks like a clean Calibra Bro!! Nice home in the background to

OmegaAndy · 21-03-2005, 08:40

Looking nice and clean mate!!! Did mine yesterday, and only had to polish and protect it (used a car hand wash for the 'hard' bit...) and it took me a few hours. Having said that when the sunrise hit the metallic paint this morning, it made it look like a worthwhile exercise. I'm going to try Meguiars next time, as apparently it gets much better results than Autoglym (which is what I also currently use)

jimbohotpants · 21-03-2005, 10:02

Never heard of Meguiars? Where do you get that stuff from?

jake · 21-03-2005, 12:28

halfords

jimbohotpants · 21-03-2005, 12:33

informative Jake. Cheers

Any chance of a pic of your ipod install?

I need to get round to putting mine in the calibra properly, rather than it sliding about the passenger seat.

Cheers

It's not much of any install really, just sits in the cubby hole under the front ash tray. I've got an Alpine unit that controls the IPOD fro the head, so I don't have it on show or in a cradle exactly, it just lays there connected! I got my setup (alpine 9847 + IPOD connector unit K420i) from the US a couple o months ago, but I know you can get the same kit from Halfords now in a handy box! Not sure o the price I'm afraid. I'll post a pic soon if you're really interested, but it honestly doesn't look that special!

7dfreeman · 22-03-2005, 00:30

Ok, dont worry about the pics, im just trying to decide if there is anywhere i could mount it, and im going to be looking for a new head unit at some point to get the HU control for it.

Cheers
