No problem good to see your car.

Yeah that sounds like a good price - means I wasn't a mile out with the extra £250 for a full bonnet.

I've lost some gloss on the bonnet (I don't think the material is as stretched as the rest) so it's swings and roundabouts. Overall though it's the best thing ever invented. If only there was something to stop me kerbing the wheels!

Update. I've completed the refurbishment of my headlights. This was a fiddly and messy job, especially heating up and scrapping out the old sealant.
Although I must say I'm really pleased with the outcome even off the car.

Partial build:

New lamps from Trups:

Finished and ready to install next week:

I'll post some more photos once re-installed

Just checked and mine was put on a week after it was registered 07/07 and it's still mint and the fronts unblemished so it works

Paint Protection Film For The Win i would imagine :kissmyrings:

I have it on my motorbikes, great stuff. If I spray the front end, may end up doing the front & wing arches as well.
