the old wheels were so much nicer IMO, some of the nicest wheels I had seen on the car. :(

They were nice don’t get me wrong but I’m bored of them and wanted something else to change the look. Drop back down to 17 too.

New wheels look amazing. I’m a big fan. The chin however…

Ha! Type s cr(clubracer) was Japan and USA only edition so we don’t see them in uk.




I think it’s one of those things that looks better in person.
 
collected this yesterday. Cupra leon 300 4-drive estate.

I had been looking at Mercedes vianos, but they were terrible. Almost went for a Nissan Elgrand with all the toys. Decided to keep it simple with this beauty!

EDIT: running the 640d too, cheaper to run 2 vehicles than trade it in

pearl white of any type is a great colour. My next car will probably be a pearl white, toyota/lexus does really good pearl white. Only problem is paintmatching if you ever need it..

Another IPACE - Had it a week now. 23MY Black Edition with Performance seats and air suspension. Changed colour and its growing on me... Ostuni Pearl White so in the spring should look better than a flat white!

Really not sure what to do when my Ipace goes back next Sept. It's slowly grown on me despite it's issues.
 
Just picked the car up after having a full 2-stage paint correction detail and ceramic coating applied, by KDS Keltec in Gillingham. Eye watering cost, but something I've always wanted to have done - and given that I'd like to keep this car long term, I keep telling myself it's an investment. Upon collecting the car though, I can see where the money went. It was absolutely immaculate, inside and out. Not only are all minor scratches and swirls gone, but there's much more depth to the colour. Looks utterly stunning in the flesh, and I felt bad having to drive it home on grimy, wet roads. That said, the coating (Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra) should make maintenance a breeze, and had a 9-year guarantee.

These phone photos don't really do it justice. They did apparently take some professional photos which they'll forward later, but for now, these will have to do.

Looks sensational!
Much change from a grand?

I wish. Car needed a full correction detail first, which was about 700 quid alone. All in was £1554 (Christ, look, you made me type it :() Like I said...eye watering initial cost, but I had budgeted for it when I bought the car - having a professionally detailed and protected car is something I've been envious of seeing others having done, on here and elsewhere. So I always vowed to get it done when I bought a new car.
But the coating is guaranteed for 9 years. If any part of it starts to fail, or stain, it will get reapplied as long as it's inspected each year. And it should mean only minimal maintenance in that period - seriously, I asked about aftercare and they pretty much said there wasn't much to consider. They recommended using a fallout remover semi-regularly (depending on use) and aside from that, just pressure washing and normal, gentle washing should be enough. So if that means no more time and effort spent agonising over and hoarding multiple cleaning products, it's money well spent.
