My White Evo IX GT
21
Hi guys
Picked up my new Evo from Capt.Mike yesterday and loving it so far!
Firstly I'll show you my previous car - A Corsa C with a bit of a twist...
Started off as a standard 1.8 SRi and ended up with a 420bhp Astra VXR engine with a GT3076 :lol:
Won't bore you with lots of pics but here's what it was like
Respray (originally black):

Total Vauxhall photoshoot:

Engine (fully forged etc)

Anyway onto the Evo
Just as I was about to drive off from Mike's house

We then went out and did some night time photography

Back home for its first wash

and a few more random ones

Plans are:
- New wheels, probably Rota Grid Drifts in 9.5J
- Re-paint bonnet and front bumper due to stone chips
- Some carbon goodness
- Enjoy it
Would like to say a special thanks to Mike for being so helpful throughout the process of buying it and to his neighbour Ray for taking time to be there when I picked it up due to Mike being away

Car was only detailed in April but I don't think it was a very good job to be honest. Apologies for the tar, the roads around here have been restoned recently.
Looking good and I'm still gutted I sold it.
Nothing to replace it !

Was just the arches and mud flaps that were bad if I'm honest! The rest of it wasn't bad at allCar was only detailed in April but I don't think it was a very good job to be honest. Apologies for the tar, the roads around here have been restoned recently.

Bonnet and front bumper being re-sprayed soon too, possibly this weekend.
Told you I'd look after it :thumbup:
I knew you would. Mind you, it's nice not having to stuff gallons of V-Power into the thing every couple of days. :lol:
:lol:
Yeah first time I've ever used it! Doesn't smell too great though :lol:
I haven't got Ultrafina, got a similar finishing polish from Menzerna that I might use but on white I don't think it'll make that much difference...I don't enjoy polishing either which doesn't help lol.
Cheers :thumbup:
Haha, it's better on fuel than I thought it would be! But then again it doesn't get used everydayI knew you would. Mind you, it's nice not having to stuff gallons of V-Power into the thing every couple of days.
