cheers guys, spacers next for the rear and also need to do the screw mod to help get rid of the slight rub on full lock.

thanks mate, the light aren't 100% yet as is the paintwork. To do the lights you need to flat them back with wet and dry first, then polish, this was just done quickly with a spot pad and some cutting compound to rid of all the major scratches and swirls.

Once the winter's out the way it'll get a full on treatment.  :xmaspresent:

Hi mate mine are similar you couldnt do me a favour could you and explain how you did the lights in a little more detail, and also what polish do you use on the paintwork

yeh sure i used 3m green top cutting compound with a green cutting spot pad, then worked down compounds and pads until refined. As i say, they could do with a light wet sand first then the same process again, you have to be careful not to burn or warp the plastic though as i guess like most materials it could happen.

do you think i could get similar affect by firtsly cleaning the lights like normal to get rid of all the dirt/dust then wet sanding, then applying autosmart evo compound then super resin polish?

As long as your doing with a machine, by hand its going to take a lot longer to rectify the wet sanding, try it first without wet sanding see what results you come out with.

Nice stance that is Phil following your latest mods.

Still very pleased with my 'winter protection detail' you did on my Ed30 about 3 weeks back.

You know this forum will only encourage the mods though.

Just a thought but personally I think a smaller width plate (US Spec?) rear bumper would suit your narrower rear plate.
I could be wrong but think Steve P on here may have one on his Golf, which is also red.
