That is looking stunning. Are they 12” or 13” wheels? If you haven’t got the trim for the grille give me a shout and I’ll send a link to you with the rubber trim I used on mine, there’s probably some photos of it in my thread.

12s.

The link would be good please

[alex-95]

Took a while to find and can’t add a link as I’m on my phone but this is it below. It fits without needing to stick it on, makes it easier to clean and wax the grille. It’s not that noticeable on mine and with your dark colour won’t be noticeable at all.

Ben,

They're in a box. There are many boxes

[Junior Mini]

Bloody wow, that is all and did it even need a mop on it, it looks fantastic out the gun.

The whole lot is going to be flatted right back and polished.

 

There are some small specks of trash in the paint that need sorting

[Ben_O]

Carlos asked how to remove the trash in the paint so I have done a couple of shots to show.

 

Here were a couple of bits on the top of the wing.

 

 

Kinda hard to photograph and not easy to see so I began flatting them which makes them easier to see.

 

 

And now completely flatted out

 

 

That was done with 1500 dry on a block and then the entire wing was given a very light flat with 2000 Wet.

And polished

 

 

That completes the front

 

 

I had a play with the rubber arch seals

 

 

It's quite time consuming to fit as it needs to be bonded first to the arch and then the whole lot bonded to the car.

 

I began polishing the other side too

 

 

Just that back corner to do now and then paint the doors and bootlid

[KTS]

..am i allowed to say his dodgy plum is definitely purple now ?

 

cracking job.  can't wait to see it finished.

[Carlos W]

Are the arches nice and secure?

It’s coming along so well

[Ben_O]

The arch in the photo is just resting on. I ran out of sikaflex and also the glue I used to stick the rubber to the arch.

Ill get more tomorrow

Because it's going to travel at the speed of light.
