Washed my car - success! Attempted to wrap my headlights with tinted vinyl - failed. Sanded down one wheel - partial fail. Decided it would be easier to get them acid dipped as i cant get into the edges with the sandrr

Heres a pic of the door skin removed



With it fitted and working

decided either to pay someone to do it or just keep it silver and get it touched up, bodywork can wait for now anyway as the k04 has arrived

making it go faster or look better

which would you choose first?
