    Is this polished up nicely

    Looking at colV6sport thread, I thought I should post my polishing job.

    I wonder how many stars I would get from Kieran

    I have so got to sort the GLS out... A few carefully chosen mods and it could look as good as that. It looks lovely KiwiTT. I notice that the road markings are reflected in the panels - to get a light coloured car to do that isn't the easiest thing in the world.

    Is your car lowered Kiwi?

    Do I see a rear wiper there Richard?

    I thought as of a few days ago we established pre-facelift Galants don't have a rear wiper.

    Very nice and clean though.

    Yep. It is there. The Japs want everthing on their cars. Remember I even have the frost wiper heater as well.

    On the front windscreen to stop the blades sticking? works a treat that does to clear the windscreen.

    Is that an arial on the rear too?

    Great Car

    Very nice KiwiTT :thumb1:

    The car does look sooo much better when it is lowered. The wheels just seem to fill out the arches so much better. Can I ask what you did to lower it? Did you get new springs and shocks, and if so what makes? Also what alloys do you have fitted and how much?

    Nice one :cool1:

    I'm still trying to figure out how Kieran managed to sneak away to NZ without us knowing.

    Thats where he has you fooled Brind. Kieran now operates a virtual e-polishing business. He has a robotic-polisher INSERT INTO post VALUES (ooh-er!) in NZ that he operates from his garage in the UK using a full-body virtual-world interface.

    This is how I bought it for the equivalent of 5,000 pounds.

    It has Zauber 17" Alloys and 225/45 tyres. When I get it serviced next I will ask what brand of suspension was used to lower it.

    I had seen a similar one to mine, but it was'nt lowered and had 215/45 tyres. It just didn't look right.
