Well, having decided not to sell it anymore...but to finish it, i thought it would be a good idea to give the GSi a wash. The cesaros made a return too after i fitted them on saturday. IMO they look way better and am gonna have to get the Pro Race 1.2's powdered i think.
Am so glad with how it has come out, being its first proper clean. Wash, 2 polishes and a wax, with silica on the wheels. Found a good location too. Unfortunately i only had my phone camera so they aint brilliant...but it still looks good! 
And the final photo was ruined because the phone didnt take quick enough so ended up with a bloody shopping trolley in the picture! Not amused because its a good photo too! 
Opinions welcome

oh thanks bud ... see i realised that it really is in such good nick, and with the good weather coming on, the engine bay needs some tidying up...and its a great car!
There is virtually no rust, and apart from a few stonechips here and there and that one dent, the bodywork is fine!
Dont know what i was thinkin tbh...

no, i really dont like the low rear look. Thats why i went for the 50mm. 60mm is too much, i know that from my ld corsa, but 40 still leaves a gap between arch and tyre.
IMO, its the perfect height!
what do you mean bout the last one adam? wrong position?? too close?

My personal opinion is it mostly looks better to not have the car driving 'out of' the picture when using the rule of thirds. for example -
