Detailed and Sealed with Diamond Brite

This weekend we got my FTO steam cleaned, waxed. detailed and sealed with Diamond Brite. Called a valet company called dial a detail to come round, was realy impressed with the quality of the mobile kit, they realy do a professional service. The guy running the shop is called Dale, easygoing and honest guy. They are based in Liverpool street area and I would so reccmomend them to anyone thinking of having this done.

Very impressive results. The merits are not just from the valet, the car has new paint, this was done when I had the JDL kit put on it two weeks ago at CNC Coachworks in East London.

JDL Tuning - BodyKit for FTO -

Finaly ordered a bodykit for my fto, I went with something new, the JDL kit from Poland, realy pleased with the result.
Dedicated for pre facelift models 95-98. Will not fit to facelift models, rear bumper extension type JR and side skirts type JR.

Rear skirt bonded to standard FTO bumper. They look different from the sets they show on the JDL website and in all honesty, I'm glad. The ones on their site look plain and would make the fto look like a ford focus...

Sideskirts, had to be cut and blended to fit, standard skirts were removed in order to fit. They are by no means an easy kit to fit. So this is not a diy job, make sure you have the right tools and plenty of help before you commit to this.

Tori & And_Some's House Warming

We got up at 10am, the usuall lazy Saturday morning... Then decided I needed to clean the FTO before heading out, so a quick 5min job turns into a 2 hour dilema with my girlfriend blowing a few fuses... Oopss... Oh, well after that we were on our way to the party.

Here you can see how shinny and new my ride looks.

We arrived and now it's a bit dirty, but still shinny. Gotta love new paint.

The party was held at their new house in Broome near Cambridge. Was a two hour drive from London but worthwhile to go and chill out with some folks from the OC. Nic and Lb were there too. Lb still had his gold wheels.

Me and Billy Albert chatting about his roof rust troubles, not good folks. If you have roof rust, sort it with a new roof, no rubbing down as it will always come back.

Another view from the back, the JDL looks so smart, gives the car a new shape.

And another photo from the side, here you can see how the kit has made the car wider and more aggresive, very impressive indeed. ;)
