    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.

    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.

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

    Beadophiles - phenomenal Sean :D

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

    photo1gtf.jpg

    ...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:

    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.
