Thank you gentlemen  I have actually never polished my BMW (or the Celica) and covered 50k miles. It really is a credit to the previous owner who spent a lot of money restoring it properly. Meguiars car wash on it's own is the bees knees, with a polish it will be even more shiney! Gen 7 Celicas are a nice bargain car now. Our one (Wife's) however was bought in 2004 at a cost of over 10k. It's been faultless throughout and never failed an MOT in 11 years!! The badges I made myself. I liked the look of the Alpina cars with their red and silver badges, and as I had a lightly modified 2.3 M20 kicking about I made some badges to reflect this. I didn't fit the 2.3 lump in the end (sold) but left the badges on the car. |

I like that a lot, so menacing in black. What colour is it? Looks too dark for BMW Diamond Black.
Come on, 'fess up. That's more than a shampoo to get that shine. That looks like a car that's seen some detailing at some point.

That looks like a car that's seen some detailing at some point. Thanks mate It is Diamond Schwartz but had a full repaint about 5 years ago. It only appears metallic in direct sunlight as one of my pics above shows. No honestly, I cover 20k mikles a year in this thing and I have never had the time (3 year old daughter) to polish it. Gone are the days when you could spend hours cleaning and admiring the cars! Now it's a 30 minute frantic job with one eye on the toddler. I do clean it religiously every weekend though as I drive it all year round through all weathers. The wheels are a right PITA to clean and take longer to clean than the bloody car! So no detailing has taken place in the time I have owned it. It just was a very well done restoration. All rust cut out, fully painted including underside of bonnet/boot and with doors off, a refurbed leather interior fitted along with a crack free dash and new wheels were just the cosmetic side of things  The engine is still smooth and quiet and now has 207k on the clock! I plan on doing many more happy miles in this car. Ok, it only averages about 30 mpg but I have never owned a car that does much more and in it's day it must have been an economical, powerful (for it's size) car with it's new fangled EFi Lol. 4 new tyres and some new rear shocks are going on at weekend time permitting. Cheers, Tej |

Your paint man's very good, I know it's a photo and they flatter cars but that paint looks flawless. My missus has an E93 cabby in Diamond Schwarz Metallic and admittedly it got used for business so has seen a hardish life but I have to polish and clay it annually to keep the finish up.
Fair play for actually using it as a car too, that's a lot of use for a 30 year old car. My E30 did 170 miles on Wednesday and loved it, most of it at, erm 70mph cough cough, on the A14. Did the same journey today in my old man's 57 plate Chevy Tacuma, it was slower, used more fuel, noisier and generally felt a chore.
