These are just after a wash using 2 cap fulls of halfords advanced car wash in a 5 litre bucket. Washed using Meguiars lambs wool wash mit and using the 2 bucket method. Dried with Meguiars water magnet.

These were the results of my bonnet and roof after applying Meguiars stage 1 2 and 3 detailers which were applied with Meguiars applicator pads and buffed off with halfords own microfibre towels.

The finish was simply superb, drop a cloth on the bonnet and it just glides straight down it. I very highly recomend using the 3 step detailing method, it may take a long time but it's well worth it in the end.

Rear chrome numberplate surround has been banished and so has the gash turbo badge that was fitted. Chuffed to bits with the car, everything i hoped for and more.

Got rolling roaded at 213bhp and 180ft/lb of torque with a blowing manifold and exhaust gasket. Totaly different to drive to the ibiza as maximum power is only 150 revs short of the limiter, she pulls like a train all the way through the revs

I got this for my ibiza and £2.5k so got a really good deal on it! Had 44k on it and full miltek turbo back and regal hard pipe kit, so the most expensive part of the tuning is allready done!

VXR turbo and front mount will hopefully be fitted before the end of the year and then hope to have it mapped to 280+ bhp around march/april time :D

always a good thing to see a car cleaned properly!!!

if you didnt, you should have clayed it before step 1, 2 & 3 and it would be even better! i always clay it before the 3 steps
