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??

some update

the bonnet after detailing using Meguires clay bar



and my first attempt at spraying the oil cap

oil cap looks awesome, ever thoughta doing the petrol cap ?

not really the fuel cap but I did the reservoir and wiper tank caps as well and the dip stick handle

how did you do it and keep the oil symbol black ?

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!

tks mate would appreciate that heh tell me about the dust and soil rain!! actually I am sick of wasting 3-4 hours of my life washing the car to only see it shining for 2 days maximum ... how do you know malta is dusty hehe?

whats next on the list of moddifications you should get a gloos black roof or some black checked decals

actually that exact thought have passed my mind a few days ago ... I may be vinyl rapping the roof in either gloss black or else checked in gloss black as well

checked gloss black so ur not overdoing it

what do you think guys? would it look good with a black chequered roof decal?

photoshop it to see or wat else you could get is a small cheqd black and yellow running over your bonnet onto your roof

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

here it is ... a little flat but shows it hehe



not quite sure about it though, I think I prefer a full black roof
