I completed the "boot" today except for the top fixings which will have to wait till the tub comes off for painting. (Roll bar cross member in the way!)
I had a brain wave about the aerial. I used a £2 pillar mount job from Ebay but on a home made bracket that allows it to be swivelled down when not in use. Seems to work OK (in the garage anyway....) The bracket incorporates a couple of nylon washers to isolate the aerial from the body. I need to find a plastic clip to help support it when it is up.
Also had a play with the polishing stuff that I bought and the rattle can of Audi Amulet Red that I intend to use.
It's easy to get a mirror shine - but very tricky to get it consistent. I will have a go at one of the bonnets next weekend.
