Title: Typefern MR2 Red
Post by: Typefern on December 5, 2015, 18:55
Hi

I've been a member for a while and thought it was time I added my new MR2. I seen it for sale a couple of weeks ago and with it only being 4 miles away I thought it was worth a look. The person selling it just let me take it for a test drive, it made the purchase so much easier as I could properly check it over (even giving me £5 to fuel it up). With it back home, I thought it needed a good clean:

Exterior
Full wash and snow foam
Clayed
Iron X
Mopped paint work
Protected in Gyeon Can Coat
Roof protected with 303 Aerospace Protectant
Mopped the headlights and rear lights

Interior
Vacuumed and leather seats cleaned and feed.

Jobs to do:
Fitment of an X brace
New RED badges (just collected from dealership)
Look at having the alloys reconditioned
Enjoy driving it through the winter (salt dependant) spring and summer

Arrived home

Panel mopped

Welcome.
Why would we boo Honda?
It's MX5 that I don't like.
Integra type R. Possibly the best FWD car ever made?

Thank you for the warm welcome.

303 Aerospace gives a nice finish, however it's the way it repels water is impressive, it properly beads and then falls of the roof. I'll try and put a video up of it in action.

Thanks John
