    Hey, I know its probably not important to some people but our little car is dirty lol. The exhaust is black which I know happens but id love to clean it up and make it sparkle again, anyone got any tips? My dad suggested petrol white spirits but im not sure this would be safe *gulp*:eek:

    Also We have a cover/shell for our car and its a nightmare! It makes the car drag to the right! It was a second hand shell and the person cut out the window on the site where the starter pull is and also made a hole for the glow plug which is great as you dont have to keep taking it off and putting it on whilst starting, but the shells so dont seem the right fit!

    Anyways tips would be fab!

    That's the header.

    Anyway, the only way to get it shiny again is to lightly sand it off and then polish it up again. It will only discolour again when you run it though.
