Got it, thanks for that, much appreciated.

For anyone thinking of doing this, really not very difficult, perhaps 1.5 hours work to remove everything, including rear valance, exhaust etc.

Can't wait to get everything back from power coating, going for Satin black. Exhaust is looking good. Pumped a load of high temperature grease into the vacuum pipe to silence the valves.

Are you treating the actual subframe with protection?

Yeah, just bought some stuff at lunchtime s a precaution whilst everything is off, , but in all honesty everything else looks quite good, but no harm in applying. Perhaps a little bit of corrosion below the bumper when I removed the rear diffuser, will take pictures before and after.

Yes you are shaming me into doing mine. Mot last week & guy let me have a good look under car. A slight bit just starting. So guess I will have to do them at some point. Did you say you had them powder coated.

It's a very satisfying job, go for it! :) Yes, I was £70 to get everything powder coated in Satin Black.

The guys asked if I was restoring a classic car lol. They were shocked to find out it was a 6.5 year old car.
