How good is this little beast?

I just love it to look at, not so much to work on :lol: All the curves and all fibreglass was certainly a challenge.

Washed down with the now mandatory "BUBBLE BATH" as my 4 year old calls it,

Clayed
Corrected about 95% of the marks with a combination of everything.
little bit of 3M, lots of Menzerna heaps of pressure and more then RPM then I would have liked on such a curvy car. But we got there in the end.

No MH light shots as anything brighter then the mobile phone screen just washed the swirls out, nah not quite but was all done with a 60W incandescent household globe 8O Give me a black car anyday

Its now going to get the paint protection film applied to the front then Im getting it back to touch it up and put more zaino on it. :lol:

Anyway enjoy

Great work there, DBS. We've got at least 3 or 4 of these rascals running around here in my town. As much as those cars cost, those "earth tone" colors they come in would drive me crazy. They always have a dirty look to them even when they're clean. The light orange I've seen looks tough to detail, too. Man, I think if I bought one of those new it would be headed straight to my garage for a new color.

Yeah Darrell, the colors they come in just aren't very aggresive for the most part.

I have not seen that color though, it's kinda cool. Almost like a Kawasaki green. The Exige S is an awesome car.
