las247 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Just to prove the '8' is a totally versatile car, and the reason I purchased a 'sensible' car as opposed to a sports car. My other hobby, open canoeing. It does have an effect on economy but handles the load well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 That looks seriously wet Sven:eek: fantastic reflections; that's why I love the colour black in 8's you can't go wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Posted July 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Cheers! I had the opportunity to test some Zymöl Concours Glaze, so this is the result of that. First I did some prepping with the Poorboy's SSR line, then the Zymöl HD Cleanse (they claim this step is necessary before applying any Zymöl wax), and finally the Concours Glaze as finish. Not the cheapest wax around, but the results are quite satisfactory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
las247 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Stunning! A great finish and some brochure standard photos to boot, well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickbee Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Sven prompted me into cleaning mode and the weather has helped too of course. Cant get quite the level of reflection as on the darker colours, but i'm pleased with the results. dont want to take it out now in case it gets dirty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harpersimon Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 (edited) Prompted by the splendid weather today, the car got a spruce up and during a little round the town cruise I took some snaps! Ok ok its bog standard and only a little 2.8 - but I am reasonably pleased with the looks - recently ditched the orange repeaters and the rear badges.. Spec - 2.8 (1998) came with: Solar sunroof, heated front and rear seats, popup headlight washers, and lovely BOSE sounds.. Grey goes with the sky over the lake district hills.. (or some other arty b****x) yes I do need some different rims, I know.. even cleaned the inside a bit getting artistic.. nice butt.. few stone chips and laquer touch up needed here..

Ska Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 So you've finaly decided to treat your 8 to a wash then Simon:p just kidding looking good especialy with the repeaters (subtle yet a must have mod). I was surprised to see the high spec of your car lovely example. did you get that oil/ hesitation thing sorted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harpersimon Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Thanks mate! Am doing the oil thing this weekend, just picked the gaskets up and am on here to quiz you - having done the gaskets already :-) - see post in main section if you would.

BillBlank Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 (edited) Excellent, at last there's a picture of one filthier than mine:D. I claim this spot now for piccies of meine kleine autobus. Monday morning, as you all slave into work I shall be out washing and waving a rag in the general direction of it then I shall shower forth images of the horror story that is my paintwork. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wonder just how unpopular the previous owner was. Bill Edited August 14, 2008 by BillBlank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
