meh...
photos make it look so, but i dont think it is. my bonnet definately needs a clay bar to it, or a heavy buffing. the rest of the bodywork has lots of dings, chips, scratches etc

but thanks :D

New sidelights arrived.
They had some writing on, and the black trim was a bit discoloured, so I washed them with a scouring pad and fairy liquid, then gave them a good going over with Brasso, buffed it off, then used some Autoglym polish.
And now they look bling yo!!

Finally got my cam cover sorted and back on.
Also put my new sidelights in too. Looks a lot better, I definately prefer clear sidelights!!

Nice and clean.. :D

Anyone notice the differences (on the cam cover)?
