Doing my first detail on my bought used R.
Just wanting to check before I chuck on some Meguiars Plastx!
As far as I can see, the wing mirror caps are plastic, not paintwork?
As is the rear diffuser?
The rest I know as it's the same as my prev 122Ps.
Cheers:)
What exterior bits are plastic on the R?

Really? It doesn't look like paint, the swirls certainly don't.
You're talking about the black ones on an R right?

The mirror caps are indeed painted base colour is gray / off-white. The diffuser is black plastic along with the front bumper grills.

Been through a car wash previously? The brushes would produce a strange swirl pattern on the top surface. MOPping should correct the surface if your careful.3t3p wrote:Damn then mine are pretty scuffed up. Weird.
