Thats actually the look I was aiming for, only yours is the later model 6N2 if i'm correct. Looks a stunner in red once i'd removed the nasted oxidised paint, I want to look into some of those BBS alloys and some clear bits to make it look a little more respectable!
It is the later one. Ye - a good polisher should get the oxidation off. A good valeting place should be able to bring it back to life.
The alloys cost about £300-£400 for a set in gd condition, though you can pick them up really cheap when they are in bad nick and just refurb them back to good
Clear indicators and side repeaters make a huge difference to the 6n, as do MK5 rear lights like mine (especially on a red car it looks awesome!!)

Well i've had a go at it with Autoglym Super resin polish and it's very close to back to red but I have no idea how long it will last for.
I'm going to look at getting a set sometime next year, having bought the car for £750 i'm a bit nerved spending half what I spent on the car on alloys lol! I agree about the clear parts, I'm also torn on either going for the MK5 rear lights or a set of clear/smoked original styles ones
Cool, I thought why not have a go myself. The front indicators, side indicators and the MK5 rear lights didn't look right with my photoshop so I left them out. You think you could make the indicators clear and put a MK5 rear light set on?
