sweet car man, it's got potential :thumbsup:

I might be wrong, but the gray trim has a few bolts holding it in from behind inside the boot lid?
That's just what I saw from taking my tail lights out a few times, my trim was white already so I never had to take it out haha

Yeah they hold on the whole assembly (gray trim, black surround and number plate lights ) on to the boot. I've got that off but can't find how the individual trim actually separates, that is if it even comes off at all. If need be I could just mask up the rest to paint but it'd be kinda dodgy then.

The trim doesn't separate the black part, you just have to mask it.

I would suggest buying another trim and painting that because I did mine and got sick of it, you might be the same man.

Nah it's faded and looks pretty disgusting. So anything I do to it is an improvement.

New pics after a good wash :)

Good thing it wasn't mine :) haha

Speaking of crashes. A fair while ago some knob ran a shopping trolley into my left front guard and left behind a fairly big dent. I just got around to knocking it out. There is still a bit of a crease left but at least it's not as bad as it used to be. I'd show some photos but it's honestly not that noticeable.

SuperCrap Auto Chrome tip = 50 extra Horsepowaaaa!

I had to spend my gift cards on something and at least it covers the rust ;) I also picked up a new oil filter and a neat little socket and spanner set.

Hectic lights brah. Started as a joke but I left them cause they actually look pretty slick. I want to do all my dash and stuff red now too.
