I have to admit I'm not one for car polishing etc, but I do applaud the effort you have made even to the extent of rebuilding the bumpers, the result looks superb.

Thanks for your kind words DaveNP & turboboy. I'm very happy with the results and it's going to be difficult to find another this good
GTechniq C4 applied to the bumpers now and the Rubber Clenz assigned to the bin Attention to detail, I even painted the torx bolts that hold the bumper on... I fear my OCD is getting worse 🤣🤣

You're so fortunate to have found such a good example and well done on returning it to its former glory. Fabulous motor, 4x4, I just love it! And thanks for the heads-up regarding the trim resto
