If you were local I'd happily help :) seem to remember your nowhere near Sussex?! Very easy to get the colour back though, important thing is a decent wax which protects the paint from the UV!

Good man! Any polish with some cut to it will work well! Do consider waxing it with something like FK1000P to keep the finish from fading if you can :)

Well Jim just sailed through the third MOT since I've had it!

Mileage has hit 115k and I treated it to a machine polish and decent wax.

Not bad for a ten year old cheap motor!

Looking good, well impressed B) . Did you get round to fitting the light bar in the grille recess ?, keep meaning to take my bumper off to investigate how to fit one and what brackets would need making.

Thanks matey :) no I haven't yet but fully intend to! Just one of those things to get around to.

I think it would be fairly straightforward, have seen them on other jimnys!
