ive been told a good machine polish then HD wax will keep the colour in alot better than just polishing it. Im thinking about buying a machine polisher off ebay and giving it a good go over but being in cornwall it a bit of a pain with the weather.

its a "what can we do with the hour we have to kill" side exit i need to find a bumper in the scrappy to cut a chunk out to fill the back.

that was my plan...but 9 months later im no closer to the coilies , thats the rears in half and the fronts with 3.5 coils out.

Subtle.... I like. Just need a v6 front bumper now and your all done!

I had a red coupe that when I brought it wasd spractically white. 5 hours in the garage with a DA and it was as red as a baboons A**e! Aftwer 6 months of no polishing it started to fade again... break out round 2 of the polisher. Got bored and brought an S2 and vowed never again to buy a red car! I do like the exhaust btw

I disagree, to add a v6 bumper and make it look good you would need to colour code the black trims on the doors and rear bumpers too. Part of this cars appeal to me is the black trim.
