Never polished the car since i bought it last year. To be honest i have only just started doing anything with it.
Any how i gave it a quick polish today. Pics are not great as there off my phone but you get the idea. Smile











Opinions welcome apart from its too low. Thats next on the list after i have just thrown nearly a grand on a rich flywheel, alloy pullie, headgasket, strut brace, clutch, black masks etc etc. Will start a project thread soon.

P3 platinum, must be pretty rare. Looks good, think the height looks fine Yes

Not a fan of smoothed bonnets though. I've become more of a purist as time goes on LOL

Nice and shiney

Looks well. Smoothed fronts are like Marmite, some love 'em, others less so.

Nice looking car, great colour and paintwork - though I do agree with others that the smoothed bonnet/grille looks a bit try-hard.

If I get another '6 the front end will almost certainly be getting smoothed same as my Diablo but if I get a Rallye I will more than likely leave it OEM Smile

If you ever get fed up with it, I would certainly be happy to take it on Wink
