Today after a lot of swearing and some effort I changed the drab plastic mk2 kickplates for the better stainless mk1 kickplates.
It's the little details that give the car more class I feel.

Before:




After:










I also changed the rear quarter badges as they were faded.






I tried to debadge the rear today as well.
To take the aftermarket badge off as I wasn't a fan.

But after I had taken it off it appears that someone had had an over-zelous attempt at taking the original off and scraped the paint off the boot lid.



So it seems I am destined to have a boot with badges on.
Ill order some replacements and hopefully (as the paint is scraped off outside of the badge borders) Dazzer will be able to make me a slightly oversized badges to cover it up while I attempt to source a grey mk2 boot lid with a lip spoiler.

*sigh* there's always something.
