I will be de- nibbing and polishing Scott but not flat and polishing........ I prefer a good,clean off the gun finish that looks standard. I dont like the glass like ultra flat finish some show cars have as I think it looks false to be honest. de- nibbing will just remove any small dirt inclusions but the finish across 99% of the wing will remain as it was from the gun. Just my preferance really.

Thanks all for the kind comments! Hopefully more soon...

Ah cool, thought i would just ask as though it was out the gun, but then thought dam it's smooth!

Well im sure the finish on my mk1 will be to your liking then!

Its just my preference Scott..... I know some like the ''show'' flat finish but I prefer an original look etc. Even the majority of the prestige marques have a semi pealy finished look these days. Im sure the jamaica nova looks great!

Adam.... Too right let ftw! I wouldnt own this car if it was any other way!

Wudgey... Id advise using u-pol medium grey. Its not what I have used as I went for a match to the original plastic bumpers not the vinyls in the end. As it comes in aerosol form it'll be easy for you to work with and is pretty close to the vinyl colour. The finish on all my grey parts are semi matt leaving them very smooth etc.
