I've seen them go for more, they're quite rare nowadays, but I wouldn't have paid silly money for it. Anyway managed to clean the car and get it on :)







The anni badge is now looking extremely faded against the bright red of the heckblende and lights so going to paint it black. Hopefully fitting my new exhaust centre section will sort out the issue with my backbox jutting out. Finally before anyone mentions it I know my black trim looks awful, I have bought some Plasticare trim dye which is meant to offer a permanent solution to faded plastics. If the weather holds out tomorrow I will apply it after work.

It is a bit marmite but I love it.

Got round to using the Plasticare trim dye yesterday, has made all my plastics a nice dark satin black where no dressing products could touch it, covered any wax stains etc. The only place it's not so good is the boot spoiler, a bit streaky, will do another application when the rain stops which will hopefully improve it!

It's the material the rear spoiler is made from (pu-rim?) and very few things can make that look tidy.
you need something to penetrate the top layer (and I say try peanut butter and leave it for an hour before wiping off)

For some reason everyone does it down my road, I'd rather me than someone else was parked right outside my house! Bath is awful for parking.
