Just gone through the whole thread again to try and get some inspiration to do work to the underside of mine - looking at some of the area's make me feel better about mine as the sight of surface rust on the underside body and suspension components etc is daunting but it just shows they come up perfect.

Any updates lads?

plan was to do them anthracite & orriginally diamond cut but with the scipt around the centre may have to rethink with maybe a polished lip
