Can't tell at all, only bits that could be better are bits where the paint's been chipped but there's so little of that the jobs good enough.

Basically you need to get the dirt off and the laquer that's started to peel.

Right so just done my first calliper, results look great. Fairly easy job, etc.

However, can anybody tell me HOW THE FCK I GET THE JACK POINT COVER BACK ON? Genuinely has been the most frustrating/difficult part of this whole bloody thing!

Thanks for the guide.

edit. Don't worry, found a thread with loads of people helping how to fit them back on :lol:[:@]

Mate the first time I tried to get mine back on took me 15mins. Still took me a couple of attempts today lol

It's like the matrix jump program "everybody falls the first time"

Well half an hour more of trying and the thing is still ****ed.

What an absolute piece of **** design, was close to kicking the whole side of my car in!

Can't even take the whole side skirt off as my torx screwdriver is too long.

edit: DONE. Flathead screw driver wedges underneath on the flat part of the skirt and it went on OK. :1st:

i thought you already had it done, next time the way i do it is:

1: put the top bit in
2: fold it down to where it should sit
3: use your index and little finger to push the 2 tabs in towards the outside of the car till they clip in
4: push the whole thing towards the middle so the lowermost clip locks in place

Ah cheers mate. All finished now anyway. Well pleased with the results!

Finished doing my calipers! Not perfect but 10x better than they were...
