So I pulled the car out the garage gave it a clean, full T-Cut and polish. Only took me 6 HOURS!!!.
Photo's before T-Cut and Polish
Here are the photos after the complete clean, T-Cut and Polish 
^ I did miss a bit of polish near the window but the sky looked scary so I had to quickly take a few snaps before garaging again

Yeah it is mate... MINE NOW!!! :-D. Defo caring owner here. Got it going into the garage on the 11th for a big go over:
Gear box (As 1st and 2nd dont exist, slips right into them without anything rest of the gears work fine)
Fix the blowing from the exhaust (near the manifold)
New break pads
Sort Angel Eyes out as there so dim they don't shine out the glass.
Also check over everything to make sure its all good

T cut? Should have clayed it first at least.
As for sorting the angel eyes out the best thing to do is replace them with crystals.

Clayed ? I'm kind of new to all this so any advice is more than welcome :-), I did give it 2 very good in depth cleans before I gave it the T-Cut then Polish.
Also what do you mean by Crystals? I'm guessing these are a type of lights. I prefer not to really switch the whole light as i do like the look of the ones in at the moment.

Claying a car removes the contaminants from the paint surface & leaves it silky smooth. Google it, it was a real revalation to me for paint care.
As for crystals yes they're a type of light.

I would recommend getting ph2 boot strip and perhaps lower the car,it definitely look 10x better in my opinion after.
