Finally had a chance to use the Dodo Juice stuff I bought from Rich, it's truly brilliant stuff. The clay alone made it feel super smooth and WAY more reflective. The whole car seems to have the orange peel effect though Apart from maybe the roof, not quite sure.
Also took the opportunity to replace the CS sticker that was hanging off, and add some more 
Anyway, pics 








New stickers 

Macro


Last but not least two for, well, guess who

Fully intended to spend ages on mine today. Started washing it and soon realise how hot the paintwork was so just did a quick job.
Looking good though

Yeah mate the door's bent, looks like the corner nearest the rear wheel has whacked something, it's bent quite far in 
Re: Arches etc, I haven't done them in aaaages Tried a heatgun once but ours must be limpwristed or something because it didn't work

Yeah the rear springs are 40mm and the shocks are really stiff which probably pushes it up a bit.
Got the rusty one in vinegar just now, will see how it is in the morning 
Waiting for a reply from Pristine Wheels, hoping to get the damaged wheel couriered up there during the week Could do with getting the tyre off really to save weight

Dunno mate. If the box said 60mm then you would do, as Apex obviously put the wrong ones in.

Haha, good eyes mate 
Could be, or it could be a chunk of dirt Only noticed after I posted that pic that I obviously didn't take the wax of properly in that corner, which is what the lines are

Waiting on an email from the refurb company 
Just noticed in the 5th pic, that's a spider on the 1/4 panel Tried to take a macro shot of it but it was moving too fast
