Hi All

Just used CD2 engine bling from Halfords, really pleased with the results for £7.99...

Big improvement

Does it make much of a mess under the car, on the driveway etc.

I did mine a couple of years ago but as the car was parked on the girlfriend's gravel drive it wasn't a problem.

I need to do mine again but don't have access to that driveway (or that girlfriend ) any more.

Looks good, I wanna do mine too. Did you catch the intercooler with it? Just looks like there's a really distintive line on the second picture.

You get two spray cans. One is a degreaser and the other a detailer.

You warm the car up a little and then cover things like the siren, induction kit etc.

Spray on the degreaser, use a small brush if you want to get it right in. Wait for about 30 mins and then wash it off.

Warm the car up a little again to dry things off. Wait a while until its all dry and then add the detailer.

Most the time once the detailers gone on you need to wipe the excess off certain parts, as you do tend to go OTT with that can.

Did it myself recently, well worth £10.

It's always best to cover the intercooler fins. Just cut a piece of cardboard to fit and lay it on top.
