babybluemk2 - no i'm not from no rice forum - only this forum!  :laugh:

sugar - unfortunately its not that mint...  you can't see the dents on that pic! there are dents in both rear doors (identical) and also identical dents behind rear wheels above the bumpers, interior is immaculate though, been well loved! the trolley jack thing in the spare wheel was wrapped ina  teatowel to stop it rattling! Not a bad car for £200 i guess!!! LOL

Mix - as for the wet t-shirt competition... i only got laughs from the mechanics in the garage over the road  :embarassed: i was't amused tbh!

The lacquer has started to peel around the front of the wings, what should i do? is there anything i can do?

get the laquer repaired soon as you can otherwise anything can get under it and damage it more normally you end up with a smokey white layer over the paint,

I cleaned mine 2 at the weekend but didnt do half as good a job as you. I still had flies all over the front! I think a few subtle mods will have you looking like a gti driver in no time. You could start by laying y rear wiper flat. Easy to do and looks loads better.
