Heres the links mate
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=140884041071

Then i bought three more microfibres

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=260851154720

Then for some reason i decided to get this other wax because this ones a hard wax and there only tiny pots.

If im happy with the waxes i will buy a bigger pot

My paint is also like glass now after the claying, poorboys black hole and the dodo juice purple haze. Took me forever but i do it all by hand so its alot of elbow grease. Next week will be a simple wash and dry then the saturday before PVS i will spend all day on it to get it hopefully shinier than in these pics. Tbh these pics dont show how shiney it really is.

I forgot to mention ive actually ordered a sportex backbox aswell. Which will hopefully be on before pvs. And if i dont like it ill keep it on untill just after billing and sell it on. Im sure it will be fine though.

I dont understand why after i re downloaded the photos off photobucket to my phone the before ones are blurry. I have deleted them on my phone but have like 350pics of my car and the parts ive added on photobucket. Lol It did take me a while to believe debadging was the right choice, it nearly wasent after the paint removing itself with the badges. Lol now its all repainted im seriously glad i did it. Thanks for all your comments.

Well heres the pics of the backbox fitted.

Heres where i jacked it up one side and both wheels came off the floor. Dont worry i did put axle stands under it. Lol The clamp decided it didnt want to undo so i took the car off the axle stands and jack and took it to my mates garage and paid him to put it on.



and all fitted after me going and buying new rubbers and pulling it up to the bumper as it was sagging like a grannys you know whats. Lol





Im happy with how it looks and sounds so i dont think i will be removing it in a hurry. Not too loud just got a nice deeper tone to it from the standard backbox
