Well it's taken me a couple of days but I've got my new car all protected. I've also got rid of the dealer fitted plates





Looks good with the shortened plates! Maybe you should take of the black plastic surround on the front?

Looking good Gatsby! The rear privacy glass really sets it off.

Cheers mate, I would love to get rid of the plinth from the front of the car, I tried to order it without but they are fitted like that at the factory. The plinth has 5 mounting positions so they will need filling and painting over, the dealer offered to do this (at a cost) but I thought I would wait until I've picked up a few stone chips and get it done then.

Until then it doesn't look too bad, the front plate is actually full size so that it fills the plinth but only the minimal area of white is shown. The previous picture doesn't show that all that well but it looks alright in the metal.



Another go at the front bumper to remove the swirls required!

Toady mines got a bath in dodo juice born to be mild and a coat of dodo juice acrylic spritz. The wheels were also coated in polish angle wheel wax. I am trying to get the car as prepared for the winter as possible while the weather is still decent here in Scotland
