The polish Dylan is referring to is called Purple Metal Polish, (you will find it on Car Care Products website). It's fantastic, used it on the bumpers of dads MGB, they have never looked better.

Best thing to do is clean the wheels with a wheel cleaner (Duragloss All Wheel Cleaner is great), polish them up with the Purple Metal Polish, then apply a wheel sealant (Nanolex is good) to make cleaning a lot easier.

yeah nice thanks! i'll have to get some products and give it a shot, otherwise i'm basically cleaning them every second day. Plus having a black car means i have to wash that twice a week!(not that i always do!) I'm coming up for some new break pads too soon, anyone found good break pads that don't leave much dust, or at least easier to clean dust?

Update:
Got around to installing my exhaust today. Its a 3" Decat downpipe mated to a 2.5" Billy Boat catback. Pretty happy with sound! Can really hear her spool now, not too much drone.

Downpipe is just a ebay cheapie. It had two bungs for o2 sensors, one of which we just welded up. Also had to weld a 280mm piece onto it where i cut out when it went down to 2" from 2.5". Install was pretty easy! only took about 3 hours or so, most of the time was spent trying to get the bolts off the turbo! Probably didn't help that i didn't let the car cool down

haha too impatient!

Photos

will get a video soon and post it up.

Shot a video of the exhaust with my new Hero2 gopro! but then realised you can't really hear the exhaust that much, so just tried to make it arty, hahaha
