Looks spanking though mate  What I usually do for my 'hardcore cleaning days' is wash, wheels etc, then Dodo need for speed, 2x black hole, 2x wax or sealant. Black hole looks even more immense when you layer it, and with a couple of coats of LSP you can keep it locked in for a while and not have to do it too often Do that every 3-6 months and you're sorted, with just a wash every week or two. Occasional top-up of trim and tyre dressing etc as well. Going to go mad on mine this Friday 
I want to Z20let and that was the plan , however if i do i would obviously want it to be all legal and i really cant afford the insurance costs  .
And yh i know what you mean about layering the Poorboys , seems to bring it up even glossier every time . Get some decent pics up Dave when youve given it a good clean ??
It's always the stuff like insurance that's the killer I dread to think what would happen if I told them I had put a turbo on
Will do I'm off to Bournemouth Friday afternoon so it's looking like I'll have less time than expected on the car. Will have to get up early How early can I get away with using the pressure washer... 8?

Me too dan , was rather pricey . So if it gets damaged i might be a bit pee'd off . The bumper does have some slight damage already , looks like the previous owmer scuffed the bottom passanger side along the curb  . But not to worry as it will be repaired and resprayed before fitment anyway

So i had today off work and the sun was shining so gave the car some attention .
One thing that irritates me is when ive spent 3 or 4 hours cleaning , polishing and waxing the car my rear arches inside are always a mucky brown colour . So i gave them a lick of Hammmerite . Couple pics before of either side :
And after a lick of paint
And today my Airdam turned up , unfortunately its cracked in 3 places , and both of the fog lights are cracked to peices . As you can imagine the previous owner is accepting no responsibility of the damage as he informed me the bumper was in good condition apart from a scuff on the passanger side and he's blaming the courier service . He also "forgot" to send me the towing eye cover
Few crappy phone pics of the damage , 2 Cracked fog lights
2 of the cracks wich previous claims werent there when he had it
And a massive great chunk out of the bottom wich he also claims wasnt caused by him , the fact the bottom of the bumper is scratched to high heaven sort of gives away that his C was slammed and hes cracked it himself
And no towing eye cover
To say im pissed of dew to the money i payed for it and the money that i gave for a supposedly "good condition" bumper is an understatement ! Despite all this i still had to trial fit it  .
Not bolted on so is sitting a bit wonky in the pics but here we are !
Ive emailed the courier service to see if i can claim some money off of them to cover the price of 2 new fogs and and repairing of the bumper but no reply as yet . The bumper will be repaired and resprayed in may when the car is resorayed ready for PVS

They retail at about £980 or something like that Lol . They usually go on CCUK for about 400 to 450 + standard bumper in return !
