Thank you, and I never get bored of cleaning it! lol.
Aw thats a shame, I really really really want a red LCR :)
Iv got a friends Ebony LCR to clean whilst hes on holiday. He dropped it off last night, Iv got myself a fair challenge!! :L

Aww hes lovely! My red border collie Brodie is short-haired has gone a really fair/ginger/blonde colour, and now he looks exactly like a fox! lol. Thinking he will maybe get darker at winter again.

Been looking into getting my bonnet sprayed as have 3 major stone chips and it drives me mad knowing they are there! So nipped to my local Autobody last week and got a quote. Now, he told me that because it's a solid red paint I will have to get the whole front end done, which will be £800 + VAT!
So was talking to my Uncle and he swears by this very small company based in Elgin, Morayshire. So went to see them today with my Uncle and they have quoted me... £200 + VAT!
They are going to spray the bonnet, drivers front wing and drivers mirror. I'd say thats brilliant in my opinion!
Heres some pics of what Im getting done.

Its the 3 on the bonnet that annoy me most, apart from them and the one on the front wing, I don't have any other chips, so they really annoy me!! They were there when I bought the car, but they had been touched up, but with the hard winter they have come off again :( And the mirror cover was cracked too when I bought it.
But for £200 + VAT I think I will bite the bullet and get it fixed!!

Haven't updated in a while as not really done much apart from tidying it up a bit.
Refurbished the 'S' Boot Hatch as paint flaked off.

Finally got round to using my new Kestral DAS-6 Machine Polisher, which was a little bit daunting! Wanted to remove all swirl marks as being a perfectionist the drive me mad! Used a scrap panel to get a feel for it, and really enjoyed using it. Feel free to leave comments giving advice ect.
