Welcome Alex!

Loving reading this progress thread. Just started up one of my own as I'm new on here too (currently waiting on the moderators...)
I have the same issues with my headlights, so been wondering what technique I can use. Didn't realise turtlewax did a kit so that's excellent, I'll probably do the same; your outcome looked brilliant!

I ended up doing what you said about the red grill trim. Had to buy another a few weeks ago as my original strip went pink! I read somewhere on here though that spraying it with 'halfords heat-resistant red paint' works, so might try that before I buy another one.

I have to say, your paintwork looks amazing. Really deep and shiny. The weather is a nightmare though, I know how you feel! Everytime I wash the car it seems to rain after!

What other plans have you got for it?

Protectors look great too

Thanks . . . Yeah I really like them! Few of my mates hate them but each to their own aha

I used to hate them myself but they are deffo a grower, makes the car look like its wearing glasses but they serve a good purpose and look smart

Great work with the Headlights!!! They look a million times better!! Really impressed

Hey sorry only just seen this post for some reason :s . . . Ahhh look forward to reading it . . . Yeah neither did I but I was watching vids on youtube how to do it and an advert for the kit came up Thanks it really was worth it!

Ahhh yeah heard that happens a lot, Luke on here (Ashcroft) gave me the tip of coating it in wax too to stop it fading

Thanks man the previous owner looked after it pretty well to be fair to her, can't wait till the summer so I can go all out and detailing and not have it rain when I'm finished haha

Basic ones at the moment just gonna get the wheels refurbed, callipers repainted gonna lower it at some point but probably when i've finished Uni so I don't have to worry about getting loads of paint chips from the motorway
