Just got it back from the bodyshop & they've done a great job :)

Also fitted my new centre caps, just need to give the headlamps a wet sand and a buff now as they're a little cloudy

Looking good there Jamie :thumbsup:
From the pics that machine polish looks like its given a great finish - did it noticeably lift the paintwork?
