Thanks, although i don't know what a vx line bumper is lol

[Rusty2009]

It's the front bumper and looking at it it has the full VX-line body kit

Oh right, no mention of it in the info, does look great though, any tips on looking after black paintwork? How do i go about waxing it, don't want to make it hazy or swirly in the sun.

[Rusty2009]

Your going to be washing it a lot that's for sure, I'm just using mequairs wax and top it up with Sonax xtreme Brilliant Shine Detailer.

Now we do have a chap on here that is into cleaning big time and he would be best to answer you he's a few post in this section so if you post there I'm sure he and others will give you all the advise.

ok cheers, I enjoy cleaning cars, but i want to make sure i do it right if you make a mess of a black car it's gonna pretty crap in the direct sun.

[Rusty2009]

Yes my car had swirls all over it and it was brand new I got a DA machine and got rid of them.

Although my car does need a good wash I'm just not finding time unless it's raining.

Is the radio section just a normal double din? if i wanted to put a double unit in with satnav etc on, is it just a multi plug like on most cars? and where is the cd slot on the current unit anyway?

[Rusty2009]

This should help answer the radio questions

woah, just saw all those wires and mess and i think i'll leave it   If it was a matter of just pulling out the unit like older models but that's a bit of a mission.

[astrande]

Do any of you guys use any kind of rim protectors? I can't see these massive rims avoiding kerbs for too long, especially with the wife sharing the car :(

[tucpal]

they can kerb easy if you have the 40 profile
i don't recommend kerb protectors as they can remove the paint
when they come off but up to you some like them.
best just to avoid parking near low kerbs.

[astrande]

I'm going to try and get into the habbit of taking care how i park but i can't speak for my missus lol

[tucpal]

my missus ruined my old 19s ha ha

Looks stunning mate! But what annoys me is that VX are still putting that crap single line display in the cluster! Wouldn't expect that especially with it being the Ltd edition too! But hey ho, I'm just an angry man ha
