Love the rear lighs all red goes so well with black and now that black leather just finishes it all off. Lovely motor mate my favourite Bora by far and the best ive seen on here just well put togeather :wink:

Seriously dude thank you very much, comments like that make all the scuffed knuckles worthwhile! :smiley:  :grin:

I bought a Kestrel machine polisher, my mate who used to be a panel beat showed me how to use it properly and here are the results after using G3 cutting compound and then 1 coat of poor boys black hole polish, needs alot more tho but im proper happy with how it turned out. It removed the really long scratch on my bonnet (2ft) and has removed nearly all the swirl marks and scratches. I have to admit I only did the bonnet and the boot because, well the weather was awesome so went to the beer garden  :laugh: :grin:

Wish I had a better camera as these look quite fuzzy, oh well ...







Also trial fitted my side skirts :afro: everyone loves pictures so heres a few  :smiley:

I WISH it was warm enough to be wearing a tank top :grin: It's actually a T-shirt that says ''I'm not a gynecologist, but i'll take a look''  :laugh:

Washed the car in fairy liquid to remove the layers of wax and polish. Then I used a dual action Kestrel machine polisher, cutting pad and some G3 compound. after that buffed of the compound with a micro fibre cloth then  polished it up with Poor boys ''black hole'' polish .... really should get on and do the other panels  :grin:
