Was recently fully detailed, or so says the ad, it does look mint though.

Full detail is what, €500?

That said it must be highly rare.

For an anyway decent detail you could easily be talking 3 times that figure! 500 Would only get you a basic 1 stage polish from a good detailer.

Defiantly not worth 19,000 to me. Still looks like an A4 like!!!

I'd say somewhere around there for a decent one probably between 750-1000 for a full correction, ceramic protection etc.

Nice RS4 behind you. B6 is it? Don't think I've ever seen one in the flesh.

Is that a Golf R in front of it??

I stand corrected. Still a pricey car IMO albeit very rare here.

The hours detailing takes is only unbelievable!

I'm really liking the Sunny in all its auto JDM glory

Yeah, I'm fairly aware of that. Doesn't mean you can slap an extra €10k on a car because it's been detailed.

Picked this up last week. After a lifetime of vw. I went bmw. 523i.

That's very true. One of those things that doesn't ad anything to the sale price really. Probably Would make it sell faster than one that was't detailed, that's about all it would really add.

A face from the past came to visit today. Been almost a year since it was passed on to its new owner, yet it continues to progress through the years as a low miler car. 3,500 miles covered this past year. The odometer now reads 81,973 miles. Average that out over its 12 years, and it works out at covering 6.8k miles per year. Anyway, I obliged and gave it a well needed wash. I washed it last May, but you could see the algae and green bits start to build up. Out came the toothbrush and I banished it all!!
I polished it in August 2014 and it's still looking perfect!

Anyway, I have one before, the rest are afters.

I was battling against the failing light when taking the pictures....

Some of ye posters who have been here a while may remember when I tackled the front grille, sanded it back and resprayed it. To this day (about 2 years on) it still remains fresh, no flaking, chipping etc. It was my first real spraying attempt, I am well chuffed with it. (Black trim was dressed after the pic was taken just so you know!)

The last thing we did before passing it on was changing the reg plates, they made such a drastic impact on it, compared to them old style, punched out pressed metal plates.

Edit: These type of plates, which made the car look older.

I'd say an mk6 r is as rare as that rs4 here! They're a lively car but j have never seen one in the flesh in Ireland! I've only seen one (possibly that one) in some pics from a c&c meet!
