thank you all for your kind comments , there is still some way to go with the mig including a trip to the bodyshop for some re painting , only small but needs doing. Also would like to get the alloys refurbished , but like everything it all costs money , so it's going to take a while . I am very pleased with it especially after the trip to WIM yesterday , they have set the car up like new , she is a joy to drive .

Take care

What polish did you use? it surely can't be ordinary polish

I used auto glym shampoo for the wash , then auto glym deep finish polish , hard work but I am more than happy with the results , hope that helps

You've obviously had a busy day! You could now buy some of the later indicator side repeater lenses in clear! They're inexoensive from Vx!  ;) ;)

the front bumper has a large "graze" on it and one of the front arches has some small spots that need doing and one very small one on one of the back doors , I will get the paint brush out on the badges hopefully soon , just very busy at the moment thankfully with work.

Take care

ive uesd companys like chipsaway etc they could probaly do it at ure home could save you a big bodyshop bill and the hassle of not having a car for a couple of days thats if the guy van do the work but it would be worth looking into it

got a busy weekend this week so sadly wont be able to get on with much , work has gone through the roof which is really good for me , but my time is very limited to working on the car. Had to buy a differnt crook lock today as my other one wouldn't fit over the bigger airbag , I tried it but it just marked the steering wheel !

Take care
