you really need to get rid of that sun strip, it will fail MOT with it and also it looksl like you have the windscreen tinted because its so big.
Im liking the spray job on the bumpers looks good.

well in that case no i didnt, i sanded it all down to get rid of the dimple effect, cleaned it up with meths. High build primer, sand down, normal primer sand down, normal primer again sand down, the black sanded down then just about 3 coats of black and then laqard
