I have been really slack with my upkeep of the 16v recently so I decided to spend all Saturday, and I really do mean all day Sat!
Vacumed it, washed it, polished it, sprayed all the bits that were fading, bumper strips, front and rear wipers, rear spoiler, scuttle panel, bumper inserts, door handles, rear spoiler, vent insert etc.
I also added clear side repeaters which look good IMO.
Just want some opinions please...what else needs doing to the 16v?
On the 3rd picture down does anyone think that the car sits a bit high at the front? I think it does. When I go pass shop windows where you can see the car in the reflection it always looks as though it rides high at the front?
Honest opinions on the wheels please? I'm starting to get bored, go or stay?
Here are the pictures;

Scuttle panel (matt black) and wipers (satin) sprayed, that's a shadow on the left of the panel.

Inserts sprayed matt black, difficult to show on the picture but makes a big but subtle difference to the car. They were all faded.

I pulled all the bump strips off to spray as that would have involved too much masking. Polished the side too wile the strips were off, much easier. The amount of shite behind the strips was unreal, so gave them a good clean.
