Decided to take a hot air gun to my bastard trim! I have won! Lol.

Comparison shots follow and it wasn't hard to do, just had to take time and be careful.













By the way this is all without any bumper care treatment of any kind.

A teeny tiny bit did on the rear bumper, not noticeable now though, but I learnt my lesson lol. Hopefully it'll stay black like this for quite some time.

Backbox is going on Monday. I'm probably going to go get one them Beemer rear wipers too (even though my rear wiper doesn't work). :grin:

Cheers Dan. It's really easy just got to take your time.

Got my Lupo GTi steering wheel yesterday and put it on today. It's leather with red stitching so fits in as a mighty fine replacement for the standard Anni wheel.

I gave the car a good detailing yesterday for Volksfest. Polished and waxed along with trim care etc. I didn't get any shots after the detail but a couple of beading shots and trim shots, look how black it is now, after hot air gunning it and a bit of Autoglym bumper care and it looks like new!
