Got a few things done today.

Some painting.





Fitted some shiney bits.





Also replaced the boot panel as I think the original looks crap, I'll probaly redo another one though as this was rushed.

Vauxhall pedals, Not sure if they're off a Corsa or Astra mk4 though.
The clutch and brake fitted straight over but the accelerator pedal cover was too long so I had to drill it on.

Look good though.

They look like these ones.

I've looked through the other vehicles and these are the onlyI can find that don't have the Irmscher logo etched in, Which i'm not keen on.

Thank you sir Quick question for you Rich, This CG diamond cut 2000 do I use it with or without water?
I've not used it since buying it from you and there's no mention of water on the instructions. I'm just in the middle of polishing it you see

I polished the car for the first time today.
I started by covering the car in snow foam, Jet washed that off then washed with the 2 bucket method. Chamoised off then masked the plastics so not to cover them in polish.
Next up was to lightly cut the paint with Chemical guys diamond cut 2000 follwed by Chemical guys pro polish and topped off with chemical guys petes 53 was.

Not too shabby.
