Thanks mate, my only hold up is the bodyshop. I used warm soapy water with a soft brush to start with, followed by Mers bumper and vinyl gel. Great on all plastics.

Great work as always , the sunroof tray looked very rust free in the picture's .Only thing I don't like are the number plates they look a bit tacky.
Paint work looks amazing,how long has it taken to get to this stage since buying it ?
