i dont know mate because its on coilovers so i just set the back up to where i wanted it then wound the fronts down until it was levell benjs has 50mm lowering springs in so i would guess mine is 60 - 65 mm drop

Youv just changed my mind on where I'm going with mine I was going to go with turbines like benj but now am seriously thinking about getting the speedys powder coated I love how low it is

[TNT ANDY]

Pretty darn saucey those are - good work peeps.

[scott 5gtt]

Dan your not the only person i have converted back to 13s benj is taking the turbines off to go bac to speedllines they only look good with r888s on though imo.

Cherrs andy for the comment

agree speedlines and 888's best combo.

You officially have converted me i will be phoning the powder coaters this morning
I looked at r888s what are they 195 ,185, 205 ? 50,55?

[Logg]

If I remember correctly 185/60/13. But as car crash and Brigsy have found out R888 are out of stock in the Uk. But I think the yokohama alternative is a048 are available. From what I've been told cost a bit more than the R888 but should last longer.

[scott 5gtt]

185/60/13 yeah there out of stock at moment in r888s id be temted to wait cos the side walls do look better on the toyo imo!

That tyre shine is going to flick all up the paintwork,soon as you drive it.Get some chemical guys wet look shine, it drys almost instant. Needs to learn a little more about detailing me thinks.

[Brigsy]

The stuff ben uses is about the same as the chemical guys gel, he just puts two coats on with an applicator pad. It doesn't flick up like the spray stuff.

[newbstar*]

What is it then, adams? List of products on the car would be good also.Paintwork looks good, need some close -up reflective shots!

[Alastair]

I would love a lesson in how to get my car to shine like that, my golf has swirls everywhere and it was recently re-sprayed! Not sure the dents (battle damage) on the 5 would polish out though

Is there a decent guide and product list kicking around somewhere on here?

[newbstar*]

You should try a product called wolfs bodywrap, they say tar won't even stick to it!
I have just finished a lesson in wet flatting and polishing, the neighbours a detailer pro After doing this on a bonnet me and dennis- a.c valeting decided to try 18 different sealants and waxes. Its amazing that some of the mid ranged priced stuff is better than the more expensive products. Its only been a week, after 3 more, i'll let you know how good they are.
