Looks terrific - although I don't like the headlight covers - unsafe for pedestrians. Otherwise - the car is very nice indeed.

Not a lot - but just brushing past these things can cut you! Some have 'rolled' edges, but most I have seen are sharp as a knife!

You've done a fabulous job dusty - maybe one day mine will look that good. Also like your replacement silver on black front numberplate - just looks right somehow.

If your stupid enough to walk out in front of a car then you deserve what you get. Unless its a child......
Great work dusty fog, one day i might be putting up pictures of mine looking as good as that!
Ultimate rust cure for your moggy....paint it brown, at least that way you dont notice the rust as much!!

A very nice job. I thought the car looked good in the 'before' photo - looks amazing in the 'after' photo.

Hi, jaxonedy i replaced both the number plates they are avaliable in 2 types 1 as you see here for £34.00 inc vat and the other type that does not have the silver edging ( they were cheaper ) i think the ones on the car looks better. i sourced them from my local motor factors, you can get them from e s m as well you need to e mail off your details before ordering though.

You always say that - but not once, ever, have I seen ones without rolled edges!
