Looks great except for the bonnet scoop, they really don't suit bugeyes as the scoops are too angular - great wheels though

Thanks Jon - agree regarding the bonnet scoop (I'll sort a replacement asap + stereo is cr*p and looks like something from 1983
).

its pretty easy to be honest mated just takes a while, usual polishing time on the scoob is about 5 hours but thats once a month and normally building around 6-7 layers of polish on her, i hate dirty car and the blue on the scoob pops when its got a decent coating of meguires love juice on her
