Hey guys, got my car back in April and I'm now starting to move forward and get some stuff done to it, I have an LCR Splitter on order and I'm looking on eBay for some decent 16/17" alloys that should set it off nicely.

When I bought the car it had quite a few scratches, some you can feel easily and some arn't so bad. I bought some T-Cut Wax and did the whole car today, I'm notoriously bad at washing cars but went ahead with the two bucket method for the first time and the results are a lot better, still not as good as most but it's got a nice shine. Interior will be started on tomorrow providing it doesn't rain!

Mods done so far:
Retrofit Aerotwin wipers on front
Alpine CDE104BTi Head unit

On the charts:
LCR Splitter
Alloys
Rear 20mm spacers

Few pictures after cleaning today:

I did miss a few parts cleaning it, the skirts on the car didn't get much of a wash and the wheel arches as I was too eager to get started on the scratches! Just one that I need to get cracking on ASAP which is the one on the left side repeater which is the only one I did! (Worse than the others though ;)

Most of the scratches on the car as due to the last owner which I can only assume was a woman as they are mostly but the drivers door and the boot where her nails have scratched it.

Constructive criticism is appreciated!
