That's lovely dude! Is it all OE under the bonnet too?
What products are you using?
That does look lovely, no matter how hard i try its fairly impossible to get much depth to my white paint. Its pretty fantastic that so many are being brought back to this standard, not a popular feeling in some quarters I'm sure but the fact is they are old and it's these that are more likely to still be around in ten years or so.
Love it mate, really nice example. Herd good things about this car :agree:

Cool, cheers :)
You've got some fantastic results there mate.
Is that the HD wax? Gives a nice deep shine there.
I think I could stare at that car all day :cool:
Very hard to make black GTT paintwork look really decent but when it does, wow.
No doubt it looks better than the day it came out of the factory what with the products you've got on there.
Just think, this is what GTTs looked like (almost) when they were first built and taken to the streets. Thousands and thousands of them :cry:
Cool, cheers :)

Hi Dominic, I popped over to say hi but didn't see anyone near the car all shut up. Are you going to POD? Well done the car is looking nice!
very good car to look at to see where everything "should" go from factory
only constructive critism is the side skirts need wet sanding or something I didn't notice but my brother did as the rest of the car is awesome shiney and then the skirts let it down a little
other than that it is mint well done keeping it that mint :cool:

All the body kit originally had a dimpled finish and doesn't shine in the same way as the paintwork and as such are OE.
