Hey all
Thought I'd post a few pics. She's had a clean and polish this morning, looking nice until a bird decides to crap everywhere again lol. Unable to to drive as I'm waiting for a part :sad:

Can anyone advise on the headlight? It's quite misty and there seems to be what looks like small scratches along the top half. Have tried toothpaste, doesn't do much. Would like to avoid replacing the unit if pos.

Anyway...

Very nice indeed. Steve of Steves Cleenz will know of what to do about the headlight lens.

Looking good.

The headlight can be cleaned up with machine polishing.

You can do it by hand even.
You'll need a compound like Gtechniq P1 and a microfibre applicator. P1 will do a great job by hand and wont cost much.

Might have a machine somewhere. Will dig it out and have a go tomorrow, cheers :)
Hopefully she'll be back on the road too

Odd door handle aside, it looks great!

For the record - That odd handle looks great against the silver I think, I dont know why.

Haha I wondered if anyone would notice. I have thought about replacing all the handles in xpg. It does look cool with that handle...but as you said i'm not sure why lol. I cannot find a silver one anywhere.
