The black plastic bit as you call it is part of the repaeater lens . It looks like its plastic welded on . When i changed mine you took " all " of the side repeater off and the replacement repeaters had the bit on the back you call the " black plastic bit " . Don't know what side repeaters...
It was me and the woman you terrorised was my mum , lmao ;) Must have just missed ya by a couple of mins , i just nipped in for an extra tasty chicken , lol .
Love it in white , looks mint :) . Not keen on the engine cover , each to their own though , nice to see some originallity . Now get the bloody engine bay cleaned lol . Oh and what is carbon fibre " dipped " ??
Not keen on the serious performance one . Its too thin when loaded with water . I use use either a meguiars mitt or the one from carwaxnwax.com . Both are much thicker and feel better quality .

Fairy power spray . Or Blue Rim and Wheel Cleaner .Nothing will completely remove all traces of brake dust if you drive your car daily .If its mainly garaged and doesn't see much action get a fairy from the bottm of your garden to blow it away lol . Srp , egp and wax your wheels . This will help...

Check for dents down the side of the bodywork . Also on the bonnet where they sometimes get pushed down to lock it and dent very easily .Check the whole exhaust system , they rust and drop to bits after only a couple of years . Also condition of the brake discs and pads .Any lights on the dash .
I looked at the cossack grey the other day . It is very very close but there are quite a few that are " close " lol . None are 100% perfect , but if you were doing all 4 wheels it wouldn't matter , if they were used just as a touch up you'd probably see the difference whatever paint you use ...
Rover storm grey is what i used to refurb a spare , stone grey is a near match also but not none are a 100% perfect match . I think it was fubar who said Peugeot cossack grey is a good match .
A pic of the alloy i refurbed in this thread , using storm grey ...
The turtle wax " wax it wet " won't affect the p21's or srp and egp mate . I used to use it on my iceberg 172 and looks wise it always comes up good . Give it a try , i'll bet your surprised :) Don't be put off by the price , its alot cheaper than the Duragloss Aquawax and does exactly the same...
