Cobra Update

Hi Guys,
I thought I'd drop in and give you an update on the Cobra.
Over the last winter, I've done some more work on it including changing the sidepipes and having the whole body polished. It isn't what I originally intended, but I'm pleased with teh results.

If you got zapped by the sun reflecting off this, you'd think World War 3 had begun.

I've been using good 'ole Solvol Autosol, but it is a very large area to keep polished.
I'm going to invest in a powered polishing mop and see if that helps.

Thanks,

Impressive!
Love it very much!
How do you get the polished finish?
i mean .. is it a special treatment on the original surface or a brand new painting with a special color?

The body is aluminium and it's polished...as simple as that.

It took some doing though, it's a very large area to polish and keep shiny.

Thanks for the comments guys. It's great fun to drive and obviously very different to the RRS.

Oh wow that has to be one of the most amazing cobra's I've seen - have to confess to always been a traditional blue fan but now i've seen yours i think i might be converted

see you've got a HD fatboy as well - is that standard or have you had that polished up as well? 2005 TDV6 HSE Zermatt Silver Ebony Interior Sunroof, RSE, Side Steps
