If it were my car,I'd be leaving the original selling dealers details as is under the bonnet.

It's all part of the cars history and not a lot of them still have the original dealers details still painted under the bonnet.


But it's not my car so up to you as to whether it stays or goes,

My thoughts,
I can't think what to write here so this will do.

Looking good, although I would have pulledthe window prior to paint. Less chance of scratches or paint chips.....
