Nice pics mate! What did you think of the 476s then?
Only thing I'd say is 2 coats of SRP is pointless as the 2nd coat removes the 1st coat. You'd be better off just doing one coat then wax, or 1 coat, then a glaze such as PB Black Hole, then wax

Kidding me?!
Pissed off I spent time doing two coats now 
I REALLY like the 476s! The car has never been so shiny 
When I wash it next time I will add another layer or two of the 476.
It still needs a proper machine polish though as the scratches do my head in!

Yeh sorry, because SRP contains abrasives as well as fillers, the 2nd coat will have just polished out the original layer of filler and then reapplied filler from that coat 1 coat of polish, followed by a glaze is the best way forward.
3 coats of 476s and you won't need to worry about waxing your car until just before Winter 
If you do still want it machining along with your mates car, you know where I am

Ahhhh
I think the VX looks good in silver. But I personally wouldn't like another silver car after my Corsa C.
Rich - I am determined to use you rather than another company, I will just see if I can move closer to you

Did you ever get the roof and bonnet sorted? I seem to recall someone running over it and dinting it? Or am I thinking of someone else?
Looks sexy any how
