Yours doesn't need a full PC (mine didn't have one, it took less than 2 hours to get it like that, mosly because I keep it clean all the time I have to admit ... ) - just give yours a once over it will look great I am sure The disks always go a rusty colour like that whenever I wash my car, just a quick dab on the brakes clears them off - the centers however are rusty, I don't know what I can do with those?
I usually PC every 6 months but i've been flat out with work for the last couple of months. I've not even had time to prepare the soft top so I can get the hardtop put on for winter.

As for the discs, a quick dab on those brakes before the camera comes out and a wire brush with some VHT paint will sort them out no problem .

I also notice that the new 2008 S has the same backend to mine ... ie the reversing lights are paired/balanced .... wonder if they have a painted red bulb in for a fog light as I do?
I doubt it, my guess is that the pic you have seen is of a USDM car, or JDM, which do not have fog lights.

You own a grey car, shouldn't be hard to keep it looking clean

Never buy white!

I wish it were that simple but the alloys are shockingly brown!

Re your white car comment, have you met our white Integra? It's as grim as you like at the moment and will probably warrant a wash over tomorrow too!

Gave mine a quick once-over at the Tesco jetwash yesterday. Drove home in the wet and now it's filthy again.
Curse me for not having the forethought to take my camera to Tesco with me.

No nightmares for you tonight s2k Nut.



She scrubs up quite well don't you think? Can a dirty Essex urchin apply for temporary membership of your club?
