Very nice pics, just a quick question, is the ed30 passenger side at the front bumper scratched?


I saw that, looks like it's scratched real bad??

I am guessing that this is the paint protection film that Illyun has applyed him self! If you are not carfull when waxing the car (No offence :wink:) then you get a line of wax on the edge of the film, hence it looks like a scratch! if you can be bothered like me you mask it off around all the edges first, but it can be cleaned out it is just a pain!

Where did you get your bra from mate????

LOL  :grin: :grin: :grin:

No scratches on the car - its just the wax on the edge of the stonechip protection - sourced from VW - I have temporarily put on until later this year when I have the money to get it done by Autofend or whoever they are.

The black paint hasn't got a hint of scratch or swirl marks anywhere as I had Autoglym lifeshine put on and have hand washed and waxed it 4-5 times since - almost every week. 

Also the black Autobra is not on all the time so shouldn't give any problems as regards paint fade.

I've heard elsewhere, that Turtle wax Ice polish, or some such name, is a particularly crap polish but is brilliant at wiping wax straight off the stone chip shield edge. Yet to be tried!

Looks to me like the 'scratch' is actually a reflection of the white lines on the road!
