hehe actually I was going to ask how to remove that light...tried and failed. all I know is that there are 2 grommets inside the door but do not know how to take the light assembly off!

btw ... thinking of giving a good clean to the engine bay hopefully, would it harm if I use the hose pipe in the engine bay and on the engine itself, because of the wires and electronics and so on??

sprayed it all red and then after drying I scraped the symbol with a blade. it only worked out for the oil cap though as the others turned out a mess...although now everything is sprayed yellow

Haha, I'm not sure fella, I'll ask my mate how he did it and get back to you. Bonnet looks great that clay bar has done a nice job! - shame about all the dust in Malta ay, bet its covered in no time!

i reckon that will look kool, but i think i would personally prefer a full gloss black roof.

however to set a checkered roof off well, it needs to be slammed on some banded steels :D
