cheers for the comments,as for getting the old sound deadening off "Diddler" it was so far gone it just scraped off with a plastic ice scraper and ended up as powder.Joe I know its not the done thing but I used a can of of spray on GUNK and a wait for it the dreaded jet washer.It started first time after a god soaking.

looks fab, i'am in the middle of doing mine had have been for months 
the wax that burns and goes yellow is a nightmare to get off, never buy a white e30
where did you get the sound deadning i need some, i belive ecp sells it but their out of stock at the moment

Looks loads better! Did you literally just spray GUNK all over it and spray it off with the pressure washer? Or did you cover anything up to stop it getting wet?
The new sound deadening makes a massive improvement, need to get some for mine.
