Drove to sunny wales (250 mile round trip) and achieved 40.8 mpg.

Happy with that!

How much polish did you use!   :surprised:

I was going to give it a couple of coats (its only cheapo triple wax polish anyway) but not paying any attention to the bottle and the fact your not ment to apply in direct sunlight led to this interesting 'caked' effect...

Even with a polishing machine that would take hours to work in (if at all).

The way I did it, the valance ripped when I got to the middle, but that doesn't matter it won't be going back on. As for modifying, apart from the exhaust, nope that's it  :happy2:
