Got my tax disc









Got rid of the ugly plates

Great job! Mine is in a similar state inside. I was planning to put TV or tablet in the same position. So watch with interest.

Stripped the front 1/4 lights

How did you manage to get the chrome so shiny on the front quarter light exterior? I've tried chrome polish and all sorts and mine are still quite dull.
