Thanks Paul 
Cheers Paul, yeah, Steff, my other half did them for my my birthday, sent off for some fabric samples and found something very close to the original material, done a really nice job i think
Cheers Jimbo, I didn't know there was a difference tbh lol
Are the light blue ones from earlier cars or something?
Thanks mate!

Thanks mate
Yeah, to cut a long story short mate, the lad who painted it originally had it in feb to repair the osf wing where it got scratched at work, there was a couple of tiny blisters on the rear arches so he was sorting them out before they got any worse, painting the roof because i wasn't happy with it, i bought a new back bumper for it because the exhaust melted the original and i bought some sideskirts off ebay that were straighter than the originals, basically, he fucked me about for 8 weeks, then rushed it at the end and made a total fuck up of it!
Have a look here mate, page 4, about half way down, this is how bad it was, the pics don't really show how bad it was though!

Spent the day cleaning the car ready for classic ford next sunday, a massive thanks to Tarren for sending me some bufty products to use!! 
First of all, i washed removed all the old wax, not that there was much on it anyway because i've only waxed it once since getting it back lol, then used Zaino z pc to removed any light scratches etc, again, there wasn't really much to removed because the whole car was machine polished when it was in for paint, even so, i could tell the difference in the appearance of the car even before i'd waxed it, then i used R222 Carnauba Wax on it, really happy with how it's turned out tbh, i'm gonna put another coat on tomorrow and then concentrate on inside, engine bay etc.
Some pics from when i'd put her back in the garage, difficult to get over just how shiny it is now in the pics but i'm really happy with it
Again, big thanks to Tarren!!
Also managed to find some new light blue Ford badges on ebay so hopefully they'll be here before the weekend!
