I did plan on using Tardis but its got lost since I moved so had to use the clay to get the tar off, not ideal but it worked.
So some pics and my new additions:

Basically the car was minging!!
Headlights
So My first tasty addition would be a set of Xenons!!
They were, well still are cloudy and have some deep impefections. The 3M kit did get most of the imperfections out but they still aren't as perfect as I'd like, but I have a cunning plan to make them look all new again

So after a rinse, pre soak with Citrus Power and a 2BM wash then rinse again looking much better

Got a bit carried away doing my headlights. My advice for anyone would be don't use a DA with the 3M kit!!
And some afters
More additions: Recaro Evo 6 Seats and Sabelt 3 point harnesses. I love them!!!!

Then tucked back away in the garage
DSCN0168 by Emma_Williams, on Flickr
So my plans for the car now are: get the rear bumper sorted, replace the washer blank that has mysteriously fallen off/been nicked, realign the bonnet as it doesn't sit quite right, put my new exhaust mount on as yet again the standard one has failed, maybe some new wheel bolts as mine are looking a bit rubbish, I still haven't got round to respraying my calipers so that's still to be done, replace the lenses on the Xenons, and basically get the car mint and keep it that way.
