It sounds like we went the same route. Do you remember which plastic polish did you used?


And good work on rims. Looks good

Very tidy, very jealous indeed! What paint specifically did you use on the wheels? I need to refurb my Motegi rims, and that colour is right up my street 8-)

I used some Mothers plastic polish. Think I used Meguires scratch x before that as well. Just worked through some different compounds I had to hand. :)

Thanks Nick. It was ford graphite grey. Rattle cans courtesy of halfords.

Just spotted this, and gutted I didn't buy it myself. I kinda knew there was a red supercharged lude in the uk as it was for sale in the banzai classifieds about 4 years ago but didn't really have the cash to go on a wild goose chase up to Scotland to be potentially disappointed.

Anyway I'm pleased it's gone to a good home and look forward to see what else you have in store for the build.

I'll see if I can dig out that advert and find out if it's the same car.
