Looks clean.

Shoe polish is good for restoring colour to black plastic things, BUT Nova bumpers are supposed to be grey, to match the trim around the window frames,door handles,interior etc etc..

It looks ok but id prefer Grey bumpers, you should of used some plastic Gel on them like i did with my GTE Skirts

Very tidy indeed, not keen on the alloys though and I usually like older style wheels.
