| Your paintwork looks awsome! How did you do it? Detailing with clay bar etc? What products do you use? | |

Re-spray was a good start  No need for clay bar as were no bits stuck on paint to deal with. Then just polish and wax. | |

| Few more parts to add to the collection: Copydex bought to re-glue headlining that i had done professionally, but it all un-pealed within a matter of weeks, so done it myself!  Bought a new sunroof seal, as mine can leak sometimes during heavy rain, and i don't want it to ruin interior:  Lastly, bought some genuine door pins to re-hang my drivers door:  | |

| got to leave space for the locking ring that comes up underneath to reduce the risk of them slipping/falling. had to raise them up about 3" though, due to back RR and tyre sizes. | |
