Yeah i love it mate. Awesome in every department.
Its already 300bhp std. But yeah, im getting a tuning box next week which will take it to around 360-370bhp
Bloody hell! I thought they were 265 lol.
That will be immense with that much power, i love the back of them.

That's ridiculous power,will shock a lot of performance cars! Looks amazing,saw a lot of talk about them but that's the first time I've saw proper pictures of one up close etc. Very nice

Yes mate few starlets and glanzas,s13 silvias etc and here I am....driving a clio... Lol.
Yeah I went that way too...lol
Personally I love the wheels. And everyone who has seen them in real life does too.Noticed there wasn't any side shots with the wheels in....
Looks very good in white!

These R's look amazing from the rear!! DAT ASS!!
Dirty tailpipes!!
What a shed :smiley:
Btw, did it look like it had high contamination? I've gone over mine quite a bit (but didn't bother Iron-X), and didn't seem to see any Iron on it tbh.

Lol. I didn't have time to get the metal polish out so just a quick wipe. That's 700 hard miles for you lol
Yeah it had massive contamination. Hence the purple! The iron-x only turns purple (from clear) when in contact with iron.
On a white car it was plain to see. Millions of little yellowy cream particles embedded in the lacquer which felt like sandpaper to the touch.

Ahh yeah, that's what I meant, whether you could see (or feel) it prior to the Iron-X - ok good to know :]
Looks tidy now anyway!

These do look immense. There are so many little details over the design of the previous VI that just add to it, especially in top spec (petrol cover flap, angled, as one of them). Not to mention the damn power they put out/down.
However, I'm fairly certain this is a detailing thread in the detailing section, rather than General Automotive. So I'll comment on that;
The simple fact is, the car has been sprayed with IronX while dirty. Whether you wish to accept that there are/were photos clearly showing dirt around the arches and rear number plate/rear screen or not, I (coupled with the thirty years of experience between Scrooge, Gally and I) can categorically tell this from the reaction patterns on the flat and angled paint surfaces. IronX "bleeds" as the iron contaminant is removed - the gel, containing the new iron salts (hence the purple reaction) trickles down the paint work. That has spread - a clear sign it has reacted with something on the paint, rather than in it - i.e. dirt/dust/grime. It is also quite clear from the colour of the reaction - brown, not a fairly vivid purple (especially on a white background). This again is because it has dust and dirt particles within the "bleeding", further compounding what has happened here (if you'll excuse the detailing pun!).
If you had said you'd used IronX Soap and were half way through, I could have believed that. But not Iron X spray.
This is open and shut - there is no arguments otherwise. If you would like to take this to PM to stop it filling up your thread, I am more than happy to chat it through with you.
To complete the "s**t sandwich", it really does look good in white and has come up well in the finished photos, regardless of the process. I'm not sure why it's erupted in here and why mods/admin have chosen to remove perfectly legitimate comments from Scrooge - it's a discussion board so differences in opinion are likely to happen between members... But hey ho, must not discuss moderation etc.

Hahaha. Well thanks for the comments about the car.
As for the detailing comments, your obviously part time detailer and part time wizard.
THE CAR WAS f**king CLEAN. Why would I say it was if it wasn't?!
As above, it was snow foamed then washed by hand, twice!

Because you've applied a product in the wrong way? We all make mistakes; it's not a massive issue, and it's your car at the end of the day. The majority of replies in here to incorrect usage are there to help the individual the next time they wash or detail their cars. In this case, you'll remove more ingrained contaminants if you clean the car properly first.

Really like the car. Won't comment on the detailing because I R not wizard.
Will however comment on your shitty aggressive attitude. Nice.

No I agree, when cylinders are equal to exhaust, something is wrong.

Nope.
Big AMG V8, yes, makes sense.
Little low revving charged two litre four-banger. No.
It won't be long before 5inch tailpipes are the norm on Aygos if this carries on. Just no.
Wow, a little uncalled for? Do you want to try that one again?
