Cheers mate its alot darker than that in the pictures my camera flash makes em look lighter but It really is excellent stuff and once you apply the heat it really stretches im usually pretty crap at doing stuff like that but even I culd do it  :grin: whats good about it aswell is you can apply it to anything and it makes it look alot fresher thanks again  :wink:

Cheers mellow I do love the vento front end and I think with the way my car looks now could work well but for now im sticking with the quads which I know the haters hate  :grin: Tryed removing my rear wiper lasted about 2 days till I put it back on couldnt see much out the back window  :grin: thanks again for the positive feedback  :wink:

Binned my rear wiper when I first got the car, plenty of rain-x works for me.

Some small updates
Found a chap on ED38 breaking a ex show car Anni and bought some nice bits
A mint bonnet which is still original paint so thats on mine now cut my paint down to just a wing really.
A mint momo steering wheel its a tad smaller than the other one I had but again mint and all black picture below on the chaps car on mine now.
VR6 center hand brake pocket but been done with the original leather anni hand brake looks mint again now fitted.
New chrome bonnet lifters yet to fit
new lower glove box as mine had a few scratches yet to fit that.
I havent took any photos as yet but will only one I have is of the steering wheel which feels ace to drive with.
