Nice looking car and looks mean with it decked that much.

Do you like the LCR oem alloys or are you thinking of getting some new ones?

i used

200 grade
400 grade
1000 grade
1500 grade

for sanding, it takes FOOOOKinf ages to sand it properly. Also you need to remember if you dont do each stage properly you will have to to back. For instance if you finish and your not happy with the result and you have deep marks, you maybe have to go back to 200 grade and start all over again!!

After all the sanding is done i used this clicky i bought mine about 7 months ago cost me £25 :(
