Unfortunately gbnut told me about his plans so had to give it a go too, wish he didn't as it was a right PITA, seems my ppp box had a nice coat of heat proof paint inside the pipes which had to be romoved before I could even think of polishing them up, four hours or so later and they were done!!

Mrs thinks gbnut is a bad example!! Haha

Well the weather has managed to hold off for a wash and quick polish - just! Have had the damaged alloy repaired and they have done a great job (offside rear) after having do the whole face rather than just a patch repair.

Someones changed the colour of his lighting too

As for my mods, complete and utter vank I think is the best description. I just can't get the film to play ball. All Ive suceeded in doing is knackering some of my silver internal panels. Thankfully I still have some 3m film left to recover and hide the bloody mess.
