Just spend all day tidying up and polishing my car with Ferecla G3, and by christ has it brought the colour back to the car. looks like new!

Fitted my GSi sideskirts too

think the car will be staying in this state for a while

cant think of anything else i want to do with it.

They aint the usual speedlines, they are speedline mistrals, not allesios.

Car looks nice mate, looks like the G3 has worked a treat.
Any before pics for comparison?

One thing i would do is get a standard grill, looks better imo.

How did you fit the skirts? using the clips and drilling holes? Or just bonded them on?

Keep it polished now to stop it going pink again. :thumb:

Get rid of that badge on the grille and put the GSi grille slats back in - would look uber then!

looks lovely :thumb:
i'd suggest you go over with a finer polish to remove any swirl marks (prob show up under streetlights / petrol station lights) then put plenty of wax on there! I did the same to my old red SR and it looked ace!

yeh im gona lose the grille and get a standard one so if anyone wants 2 swap.....hehe i was bored and ahem....'borrowed' the badge so i though id give it ago

at the moment i have a standard SRi tailgate but a rear bumper with a number plate recess(therefore two recesses). i was waiting for my smooth tailgate but the blokes done a runner. went off the idea anyway, looks better standard.

im gonna polish it wi something quality on sunday. theres alot of swirls and streaks

got the compound from strathclyde auto supplies in dumfries. ?18ish plus VAT per litre (Ferecla G3 its called).

no the skirts are bonded and screwed on for extra piece of mind

there standard skirts, the photo makes them look smoothed but there not (actually look quite good smoothed IMO)

yup, speedline mistrals. came off a cavvy 1.7td (nicked the brakes too) but there not standard issue items. doubt they still make them

Ive used G3 on my Red GSi. Sure works a treat.

If you need a temporary colour restorer on Red paint, diesel works very well.
