You could do with my motor, I could do with your paint :lol:

What do you use to keep it looking like that?

Tricky swap that one James...lol

It's just Autoglym - the two stage one with the high gloss finish - in fact it has not been polished in these pics, the zymol wash (Halfrauds) brings it up lovely...

Thanks, it is my second car yes guys, is garaged and does not see rain or salt, so whilst I love driving her I don't as often as I would like - but it does make me appreciate it every time I drive it... :D

Thanks Si / Steve, I don't know yet on the lights front, want to look at a few in the flesh and see - I love the smoked hellas, but I don't want to modify it to much as it is a sweet standard car. All the little things can easily be put back for a purist...hmmm Would be a long way off anyway - £300 can be better spent this year I suspect...
