Cheers for that Ed makes me laugh you can hear us better than the car.

Surprising how quiet it sounds on there, it's really not though

[Fozzy]

Well its not quiet anymore not with the massive hole in the exhaust.......

[Curt]

Haha, this is very true. Although it really never was... I think New Forest was to blame for the exhaust

[Curt]

Been out and had a little play tonight... Unfortunately the pics really show the imperfections on the front end, even more than the eye can see. I think it'd look a lot better with a proper clean (it's really not) and mop, which I may run over it tomorrow.

Anyway:

So, I tried the mop on my ruined front bumper today. I wasn't expecting much to be honest as I knew how bad it was, however...

This is as it started, peeling, chips and the outline from the original plate:









Then this is just a patch which I'd done:






Half and half:



I flatted back parts as it was so bad:





Finished and waxed:









Then as a few have seen, I bought these...







More of me pratting about in the dark to come in a sec

Here's some more, as per usual, none are Photoshopped. So much better after the mop!

Hahaha exactly what I thought!

Now i've seen it with the eyes, I can't help but think it looks chronically mashed without them...

Front end looks so much better for the tidy up, almost makes me wish I could be bothered to do stuff like that. Don't think it's going to happen though somehow...

You need to shop photo 3 to have the eyes and the Afro

Missed this post somehow... I suppose it does . It's basically the result of what happens when I don't plan what I'm going to do before I light the sparkler. Cue me flailing my arms around

only you Alex! Haha, you should give it a go. You can do stuff you never thought possible with the right supplies... That's kinda what I'm like now I know I have to do the whole car...

Cheers Tom, as with everything I just make it up as I go haha. Well it's pretty cheap to pick up a rotary and easy enough. It's the pads and compounds that add up!
