That's nice, but I think that engine crane the bottle was leaning against needs it more.

Well Done. That's a nice way to blind people while driving.

side skirts i dont know what they are, but i dont think they are apexi because yes they are bigger. i THINK They might be veilside, but im not sure. They are cracked anyway and coming off soon

The car is already lowered on Apexi suspension, but needs further lowering on coilovers :OD

yes my front lip is shiny, i use something similar to tyre shine on it - i also use it on the black plastic near where the front wipers go and on the window trims. Makes a HUGE difference to the overall appearance of the car.

OH - and rims, i got some rays 57S Pro's on order, 18x9.5 for the rear and 17x8 for the front with yokohama AVS sports

I have a strong suspicion that used car polish is actually fine cut rubbing compound. You'd be amazed by what that stuff can do if you don't mind taking off a little clearcoat/paint in the process.

The true test of any of that stuff is what the paint looks like once the polish is worn off after a few weeks. You can get good results but only while the polish is fresh.

I gave up on all that stuff and had a body shop color sand my car. This actually fixes the problem rather than being a band-aid.
