Couple of weeks ago I spent a couple of days with the D.A on the Octavia.

Topped this off over the weeks with 3 coats of Carlack Long Life Sealant.
Managed to get one coat of Collinits 845 on top of it today.. Not looking too shabby now.. Promise I will get pics tomorrow as I am off out on the Pi$$ tonight :pac:

H&R sport cup kit on and some new rims.
Had to fit 2 new rear bushings in the front arms and there was a wee rip in 1 of the drop links aswell.


Just need to get an alinment done now and maybe some dry weather to give it a clean

I was sorta thinking that, Although I was unsure as there was a bit of cloud cover on the reflection of the car, in your beading pics.

Ya it looked like rain at a few times but it never came. Well it was rain water out of the tank at the end of the shed!!

Oh righty, I suppose the suspense was killing you to see how well it would bead.

sean1141

Na I knew how it would bead. I have used the blitz on a few cars. Just wanted to take a few pics for ye beadophiles!!

Beadophiles - phenomenal Sean

Here's one of my bootlid from during the week for the other BBB's (biblical beading beadophiles):



...and that's just after being properly waxed about a month ago and a wet wax last saturday. Yesterday I gave it a coat of blacklight followed by a coat of Meg's NXT and the beading I got last night would have me in jail :pac:

Time for the bed I think :P

OK
Got a couple of shots there of a bit of beading.
Very difficult to get a good shot of this on a white car but you get the idea anyhow.
