OK, so having bought the car, I've now had my car detailed and it now looks like it should, as new.

In truth, the paint in now probably better than new, very pleased and love the car!!

It's pure luxury, a great contrast for my other cars, and the sun is comming soon too....biggrin

That looks splendid!

Mine is the same colour, and today received its first wash in a number of weeks - it looks a lot better than it did this morning, but really needs to have the paintwork professionally corrected to return it to its full glory - yet another addition to the wishlist!

My paint correction detail was done by Beau Technique, top work by Scott again, recommended.

Very nice. The shed in the background isn't too bad either!

Enjoy, highly unrated cars, the suspension adjustment is in a stupid place but worth a play with wink

I have played with the suspension, and for a big heavy thing it certainly can get a wriggle on!

By to be fair, it seems more suited to cruising and that suits me just fine.

Other thing for if I want a sporting drive or track day.

It's the heated seats that matter.....

Heated seats are the only option I look for in any car smile.

The weather is frankly depressing.
