    Looks like a Karcher pressure cleaner to me! ;);)

    Just the run of the mill pressure cleaner for the home I reckon mate. :):)

    You should see the ones we have at work!! The kind that takes paint off and everytime you squeeze the trigger.......it kicks back and you almost lose control of the handpiece! :p:p

    Those pressure cleaners cut through the leather on your work boots and can cut toes off if you are stupid enough. We wear steel caps, but people have done it before! :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    I dont have the privledge of having trees near the wash down pad where we use them! :p:p

    I work in the Mining world mate, we need insane pressure cleaners to clean all the crap off the machines before we work on them. :D:D

    There have been the fools that have cut toes off and caused nasty damage to their feet etc.. by being dickheads with these big pressure cleaners!! :(:(

    The car look´s great.

    Now when you have fitted the front lip have you felt any difference in behaivor at high speed?

    Also did you install the racelogic TC and launch system.

    Now get out and enjoy the car if possible.

    yep, it's a Karcher power washer.

    Getting vibrations at high speeds so will be getting the wheels balanced and tracked. Will check high speed stability after that.

    Changed my mind about the TC system for the time being. May decide to do it end of the year.


    Back to the progress.....

    Wheels cleaned......

    Next stage is to machine polish the car. So it's driven back into the garage.

    The lights are used to show up the scratches in the paint.

    This is how it looked before they started.

    Everyone who sees them likes them.

    Much better than the crappy OEM ones.

    Have you thought about lacquering them? Would the heat make them milky???
