:o What’s causing such horrid corrosion? Regular parking below the tide mark? Great job renovating the beaty.

Decided to refinish the tired braces, strut brace and bumper retaining plate in mat black - not everyone’s take admittedly but I think it works well, as do “erm the stripes!!!

Loving your work!!
This level of detail is right up my street and this is exactly the same route I’m going down over winter.
It is weird how the slam panel is prone to corrosion, mine’s started too mainly by the bonnet catch.
Anyway awesome work 👏👏👏

Looking better all the time Simon. :thumbsup:

I'm not so sure about the "erm stripes" though!

Slightly off topic, but it would be great to see a photo of your Ms together.

Thanks Mr Tidy, I’m no fan of stripes either trust me but I was just having a bit of fun and, in the flesh, they look good. They are however, easily removed 😉

Stunning photos there. :wub:

The nearest I got was when I had an Imola Red E46 Compact daily with my Interlagos Blue Coupe.
