Hello to all, my name is Shane, and i have only being a member for a few days now.
I live in the south west of England in Cornwall (near Falmouth) and my ride of choice is a 1999 s type 3.0 se auto in Emerald green.
This afternoon, i masked up the headlights, and gave them a real good buffing, used a product called (Scratch doctor from ebay) with really good results.
Purchase a new chrome mesh grille insert too, and a while later today fitted as well and looks very eye catching (imo).
Grille was ebay purchase too.
Last week, also fitted (Wind Deflectors, 4) product by (Clim Air) very pleased with fit and finish.
Also on order is a pair of chrome door mirrors arriving next week.
Myself for a living, i run a taxi business in the area i live, which is very popular with the locals, as i was born and grow up here, an know by all !!!!! lol.
My other ride is a BMW Z3 in silver, m sport red and black leather interior, with a nice few other touches, MV2 18" alloys, upgraded lights etc.
Hope to say hello to some of you on here soon, cheers.
