New owner.....thanks for all the advice

Hello all!

Been loitering a while whilst hunting and purchasing a RRS! Without knowing it you all have given me a lot of advice as to what to look out for/prices and specs!

Started off looking for a 08/09 HSE but ended up with a 05 HSE in Java black with black leather when a friend found a px at a dealers that was too good value to pass up!

After a day with my new toy i'm very happy with my purchase, the car was sold as seen and needs a little tidying up (i'm flat out OCD about keeping cars in mint condition) so on the look out for replacement wheels (20" stormers) someone to re-trim the steering wheel and a top draw detailer/pain correction company to sort out a few scuffs (one being caused by the dealer whilst delivering the vehicle!!)

The car has the HST grills (i think!), RR skirts, 20" Stormers (albeit with their fair share of scratches) and chrome wing mirror casings, which i'm not yet convinced about!

Anyway once i've worked out how to post pics! will stick some up........thanks again for the advice!! Very Happy

Before you retrim the wheel (assuming it isn't cut or ripped) try cleaning with gliptone and then applying gliptone leather conditioner. My wheel looked dry in places and was sticky in other places and the gliptone brought it back to (almost) as good as new Thumbs Up

Costs about £20 for the stuff but is a bit cheaper than replacing/retrimming the wheel...

Enjoy your new toy mate, you have bought one of the best cars on the road Thumbs Up

Thanks for the tip, will look into that product. The wheel was a bit 'sticky' so tried to clean with warm water and ended up with a bucket of black water and still a sticky wheel!

Gliptone should sort that for you. Clean the wheel 2 or 3 times following their instructions and use an old toothbrush to work the cleaner into the grain, after you apply the conditioner it should feel and look 100 times better
