I've now got a problem. I was thinking of painting the inners black, but now I've polished them I dont know whether to leave them silver. What do people think?

Virtually. Started at about 10 this morning, finished at about half 8 tonight. The pics make them look better than they are. I have still got a lot of polishing to do to get rid of some water damage on the front wheel, but I do like em :)

Your undertray is looking good can't wait to see the finished article.

I tried a bit of nitromors on my heel plates too, but the top coat doesnt want to move, so they can wait till I can sand & polish them. Going for a ride today after the Moto Gp, so it wont be this week

Autosol alone does the trick but it does take ages.

Right, here we go, this is the finished product. I decided on black in the end & am well chuffed with it. Still got a lot of polishing to do, but the idea is there.
