    I've got a SOAG beast on the way... I'll be getting it done. I'm in Canberra but picking up from adelaide. Thinking of getting it done while I am there before I bring her home... Anyone have any recommendations on the adelaide scene re opti-coat detailers?

    MY17 Specs and Release Date

    Where did you get that done zero? I'm looking to get mine done when I pick it up. Weighing up all the options as the lease agreement can also provide interior and exterior protection but I don't think it will hold a candle to the opti-coat quality. Those photos look great. All nice and shiny :) H

    What deal did you get for your vf series 2????

    Yeah they supplied a few quotes but were all from their preferred dealer network... so prices ranged from about 63 to 71 Drive away... if then leasing, yes...
