The Type-25 - all shiny!
 

Well, the car spent the day with Master Po (Ron) and Grasshopper (Keith), and I am really happy with what they've achieved :D. The paint I supplied turned out to be no good, but despite that they have worked wonders - the car has never had such attention to detail paid.
So here are a few updated pics:

They even had time to make the engine compartment look new!

Sincere thanks to the guys, I'll try to maintain it just like this :)

looking very nice mate :10:

First dibs if you sell it. :ok:

Looking lovely as always:doubleup:

Those chapz really do a top job, looks very nice

Looking V.Nice, well done Ron & Co and also to you for keeping this T25 so fresh.

Stunning as always

Looks immaculate, top work!

Very nice mate, looks spot on, what did you paint?

Looks fantastic

I was hoping to have a few stone chips and a spot where some kind soul stubbed out a cigarette painted, but the colour wasn't right. Nevertheless, I'm over the moon with what was done :)

Don't hold your breath......
If you could come up with a decent replacement I could be tempted, but I have no idea what that would be. I do have an itch for a Lotus Europa TC though..... ;)

Looking very nice...:doubleup:


Top job Ron & Keith..

Looks stunning

Looks stunning as always Phil. As Scott said, it still looks really fresh.

Looking great, top job all :ok:

Very nice, I do love that colour!

Looks mint!

Stunning just like the day it rolled out of the factory or maybe even better

Very nice

Looks absolutely mint !!!! love it mate

Pretty sure I saw this the other day driving past eastbourne recycling place with a lady driving, very very nice car, well done
Just seen the date of the post, car could've been sold on then but either way still a lovely car

What did you use on plastic trim in engine bay?

Autosmart g101 gets good reviews, but I just use tescos apc followed by auto finesse revive which is great on all the trim.

Looking good! :) when will see it at another meet! :)

How much does a detail like this cost these days?

Depends on where you go, and what you want done. Take a look at kds detailings website, it'll make you cry. Kelly is an out and out perfectionist.

Bloody hell I took a look and I think I'm in the wrong game mate lol, their work does look amazing though so I suppose it's worth it if you've got a really nice car but mine isn't really anything special compared to some but just like to look after it

Just noticed the thread resurrection!

That was probably my wife (if it was my car). I still have the car (over 9 years now) but don't drive it much. Did take it to Goodwood a few weeks back and met up with a few of the guys. It started off the journey clean but the rain soon changed that. I generally use it for taking to race meetings (went to Brands a couple of weeks ago) and the odd trip to the swimming pool.
You'd have to ask Ron about the stuff he used on the plastic trim in the engine bay, and I don't know if he's still doing the detailing, a pity if he's not as he is good!

You never know, we might get to another meet this year, I realised talking to Steve at the Goodwood meet that I missed the whole of 2013's meets.

Good to see that there are still 2 T25s in Eastbourne.
