Default A quick mop and polish before I get it on the road

I should be on the road finally in the Crossfire hopefully the end of next week after owning it for nearly a month now and not being able to use it has been killing me and all because I went out on a limb and bought it without a full logbook, so I had to sorn it and apply for the logbook in my name which after my follow up phone call to the DVLA it will be finally in my name on the 2nd and then the logbook will be sent out so I'm nearly there.....

Anyway since I haven't been able to use it I've spent the time playing with the crossfire and making it how I want and one of the final steps a clean up,

A quick going over with the machine polisher and G3 compound:

Followed by a pressure washing to rid all the excess compound and then a coat of protection over the fresh new layer of exposed paint in the form of Armor All Shield:

List of the little jobs I've done while I've had it off the road in preparation of getting it on the road.

-Headlights wet flatted and polished up like new
-Dip beam bulbs swapped out for 10K HID's
-Side lights swapped out for LED's
-Number plate bulbs swapped out for LED's
-Fog light bulbs swapped out for LED's
-Fog lights re-wired as DRL's
-All indicator bulbs silvered to remove the orange look in the lights
-Lowered
-Rear wheels spaced out 20mm
-Front and rear winged emblems de-badged and filled/smoothed out
-front grill painted satin black
-Emblems, crossfire lettering, side fins and windscreen surround were 5D carbon vinyl covered but it was effected by the rain and ruined so had to remove the vinyl and spray the parts high gloss black
-Fully serviced (oil, air, pollen filters, plugs)
-pair of new front tyres
-MOT
