Good work on the polishing mate!
Good on you for being different - the graphics and spoiler etc are growing on me!
Smoked side repeaters are needed though!

Crystal headlights or Depo's needed on the front too btw - rears look fine.
Also, if the head starts to rust / oxidise, get yourself some Britemax metal polish / sealant from i4detailing.

it was a mixture of wet and dry, autosol and wire wool and a tooth brush to get into the really awkward (sp) places, and then finely thing that goes on the end of a drill to give it the final shine
