Looking really good there, and you're certainly putting your stamp on the car. Hope you sort the boost leak soon.

What did you use on the trim mate? I want some of that "showroom grey" but can't get the Damn Merkins that sell it to quote me for shipping. All other treatments in this country just wash of and streak after a day off rain.

Old engine oil bud, then wipe off excess, the more you do the less you need and the longer it lasts

Cheers, if I can get some of this Showroom grey I think it'll be the muts nuts, but the oil might have to do for now. I also read that tickling it with a heat gun brings it right back.

It's nice to see comments like this directed towards somebody else for a change.
