Right here's pictures as promised of where I cut the inner headlamp ring:

Between the fixed point and the 1st headlamp clip.
The outer ring has to have some of the lip trimmed off too, as it doesn't clear the part of the inner ring where the 1st clip goes (due to the inner ring now being 'larger')

And here's a couple of photos of my rear numberplate swinger...

Started repolishing the lips on the Ultralites today. Used some autosol and 400 grit wet n dry then a cloth with some more autosol to bring up the shine. Really happy with the result so far, but is going to be one mamouth job, especially on the wheels that only have a little bit of laquer damage, more laquer to remove with the wet n dry ;)

Still need to polish that bit up even more with the autosol, but that will be a final polish when the rest is at that stage.

Certainly saves the £120 I was quoted for a professional to do it! Not going to relaquer the polished bit, it'll only fall off again. Just going to keep it polished :)
