Thanks mate,

After JAE's show and shine i wanted to know what we scored so i emailed Kleers and they replied:

Kleers wrote:
Dear Nathan,

Thanks for getting in touch. Please find your results below they are all out of 10:
Wheels: 7
Body Work: 7
Interior: 7
Craftsmanship: 8
Overall Appearance/Wow Factor: 9

As you can see you scored quite well, without seeing the vehicle again its hard for me to tell you exactly what I found with it but I would assume you might have had marks to your wheels, also lots of people clean all the wheel not just the face that’s on show. I would also say that any mod’s done were done very well as 8 is a good score for craftsmanship and 9’s great for Wow factor.

Well done.

Kind Regards

More than chuffed with that :D
Scored lowest on the areas that we know need work, wheels and body work.
The interior wasn't vacuumed nor was the paint polished this year even; been too busy with getting her running!

:cheers:

It is lovely, it picks up from any revs and motorway overtaking is delt with by a quick blip on the accelerator.
we went for a drive yesterday around birmingham and it just puts a massive smile on your face!

I was going to say it looks like it comes on song from 3500 revs according to the graphs.

Do you have any videos of the car on the move? would love to see some if you have.
