Pics Of My Is200

[HoodRich]

As requested by some of you guys in the "New Members Area", see below some pics of my new pride and joy. She's 13 years old and the paint was in pretty bad shape when I got it. Nothing a clay bar, some detailing spray, polish and a sealant couldnt sort it. The paint has a second lease on life after I spent the day working on it....

I need to urgently tint the windows and, when I gather up the cash, fit a set of 35mm H&R Springs...

White is my favourite colour on these!

Jason, youve made a great job of your car inside and out,dont rush into changing too much. The car looks quality already ,perhaps a sport front grille , boot spoiler or sport pedals.

Very nice looking car. I've got the cream interior in mine and it's always a worry and I'm cleaning it thoroughly every week! Lovin' it though . . . .

[HoodRich]

Great! Thanks for the compliments guys ;-)

Ian - I dont have the cash for the H&R's in any event ;-) I do wish I could tint the windows soon though.....It keeps the car a lot cooler and the harsh African sun can be cruel to upholstery!

Just out interest, check out these pics of the paintwork before and after the clay bar treatment. The car had little black spots all over it - no polish would remove it..

Below pic was after claying the paint, polishing, the sealing with a wax. No more spots and it feels as smooth as glass

Wow. A bit of elbow grease eh. Looks good.

[HoodRich]

Wow. A bit of elbow grease eh. Looks good.

Indeed! It took me all of 8 hours to finish the job!

Wash --> clay --> Wash --> apply Autoglym paint renovater --> apply Autoglym Super Resin Polish --> apply wax sealant...... I'm still in pain 24 hours later ;-)

Look at the contaminants which came off the roof!

[Stuart Aspey]

Hehehs. I may give mine a good going over on the Saturday before the club meets up in May.

Nice clean ride mate, that's how i do a deep clean on my car before winter , it's amazing how just a clay and detailing transform the car. Gd job :)

[ChrisIS200SportTTE]

[Raymond.]

That looks a sexy thing in white!

[IHgs300]

Lovely car, you should be proud of the difference you've made. Great work.

[HoodRich]

Thanks for all the compliments guys! Means a lot to me...

[HoodRich]

I think the newly revived paint looks great in the sun.......

[lexus loon]

Jason the weather looks terrible there i dont know how you cope with that lovely sunshine,ENVIOUS.Car looks excellent mate,white looks really great.

[HoodRich]

Hehehe. Good one Ian. It's officially autumn, but the sun is still shining upon us :-)

It's a bit of a gloomy today though....

[lexus loon]

Try here in England ,its about 5 degrees today and freezing overnight.

[ChrisIS200SportTTE]

Where in SA do u live? I lived in cape town for a year and also Pretoria for 6 months and Bloemfontein for 6 months.

Beautiful country! :)

[HoodRich]

I shouldnt have gloated so much - its pouring with rain at the moment :-(

[lexus loon]

I bet its not freezing rain though jason.

[Raymond.]

Dan kan ik gewoon Nederlands tegen je praten Jason?

[HoodRich]

Hey Chris - I live in Johannesburg....Thanks for the compliment...its a beautiful country indeed!

Raymond - Nope, I dont speak Dutch, but do understand a bit of Afrikaans :-)

[Raymond.]

Never been there but have a few friend that live there.

Afrikaans is a funny language to listen to when you're Dutch. It's Dutch but then with some added language of their own. I would love to visit one day B)

[HoodRich]

Ian - nope...it's NEVER freezing rain...hehhe...not where I live.

Yup, I have been told Afrikaans is derived from Dutch. It's weird because when I read Dutch, I can somehow make out what the person is saying.

[matt-c]

I had a manager for a while that was SA, and spoke Afrikaans. I didn't learn a lot, other than hou jou bek, and strangely, piesang...
