Thanks guy's :D
I driven the car quiter a bit today and it's not rubbed on anything so it looks like it's staying :D I'm hoping to get the car in to have a few bit's of body work sorted out including repainting the silver and carbon splitter, while it's in I'll be doing the lower splitter in carbon :D

the bonnet has gone a bit flat recently and lost it's depth and reflection, If the weather good enough tomorrow I paln to give it a good going over with some DoDo Juice Lime Prime and then maybe a coat of Chemical guy's XXX wax.

Cars looking great Darren!.. What polish would u recommend for mine, and to get rid of swirls?

If your doing it by hand you could try Autoglym Super Resin Polish, it has fillers in it so anything you cant cut out will be filled.
Trying to polish out swirls by hand is hard work though.
If your using a DA or rotary theres loads to choose from, There's also different pads which will affect the cut of the polish aswell, Have a look on Detailing world mate, theres loads of info on there :D

I'm sure we can sort it out mate, if not Maz aint far away ;)

your car is looking well nice,i cannot seem to see a difference with the splitter though or is it just for protection?

At first it's job was to protect to OE splitter that I carbon'd and had painted, but now it's on I'm starting to really like the look of it, the pictures dont really do it justice, I'll try and edit a picture so it stands out a bit better.

Pics don't do that splitter any justice mate. Looks so nice in the flesh. Might have to get my hands on one of these D.K Splitter ;)

EL, you cant even get a normal splitter on never mind one of these where you'll need to use a drill:lol:

In all honesty though that splitter is a great addition.

The splitter looked really good at the rolling road day mate. Looks like it was meant to be there which was surely the aim :)
