Wow that carbon looks awesome. Beautiful material. Now you have to restrain yourself of preventing replacing all plastic bits by carbon.

Ah yes I've seen that, fantastic job. I am still looking for a replacement for the Cavalier lights as well but want a quick conversion.

little bit of tidying up, ive spent the last week deep cleaning the paint then painstakingly touching many of the stone chips and scratches on the car, most are from before my ownership, its always nice it make aspects of the car better than they once were,
using an illuminated loupe and a 00000 sable brush its taken hours but worth it
