| Looks like new! Very impressed with the engine bay and wheels As an aside - did your car come with the caps over the tops of the suspension turrets? |

| @hobnob: Complete valet was £85. Probably not the cheapest around, but was done outside my house in 3-4 hours. @skodacious: Caps were on top of the turrets when I got the car only wish I could rid it of the stone chips on the bonnet! K |

| Briskodian | £85 isn't all that bad, although it depends what they did... if they gave it a good polish / wax with some quality products thats going to leave a protective coating on the paintwork then I would say deffinately worth it. Certainly wouldn't think it was a 3yr old car especially one that has done 20,000 miles a year
