Great idea,should be a good looking result.

Hi Ben, car looks great - just need to clean the 'inside' of those Bellones to get them up to full shine :cool: I use 'wheel woolly' brushes on mine.

I am honestly the least motivated detailer ever haha. I know that within a couple of weeks they'd be full of mud and brake dust again! Might give it a try before the next show I go to, whenever that may be

Loving the new bumper protector! The debadge is taking some getting used to though, I'm so accustomed to seeing the extra lettering there. It desperately needs an intensive clean, as 5 years of grime around the edge of the letters means that you can still see the "CITROËN" in white paint!

Looks clean Ben....Style-wise!

p.s. Did you have fun positioning the bumper protector? The adhesive tape is grippy once you have cleaned the bumper!

[BenS]

Oh yes, that stuff is wickedly sticky. Got it on alright, lined one corner up with the backing on while sticking the opposite corner down. It's tucked in nice and close to the body, but is maybe a millimetre too far to the left aaargh. I will notice that for the rest of my life!

I did something like that,so every so often or after jetwashing I give it a good firm press down to ensure it lines up properly!

Looks good! I spent 2 hours washing, drying and polishing mine today. Back to blacked the black acrylic bits and used auto glym products for everything and whilst I stood there sweating (it was bloody hot up North today), I was toying with de-badging the Citroen myself, but bottled it! My footrest has finally arrived, so will pop that on tomorrow hopefully.

Great news you can (Foot)rest easy now!

Haha got any more? Save them!!

Have you fitted it? How are you finding it?

As for the Citroen badge, I'm feeling better not seeing it now. Really de-clutters the back of the car. Some people take the 3 off too, but I like it there

Car is looking tidy now Ben!

Had a hectic day, so not had chance to fit it yet. Gonna do it tomorrow and will take a pic for you mate. I'm still deciding on de-badging the Citroen bit.

Jez - how you liking the belt pads?
