Cheers guys. I will be giving it a proper clean, polish etc but that'll have to be after this weekend as I am flat out at the mo. Then I'll try to snap some nice pics but photography's not really my strong point
I only just removed the skirts - I got a bit nervous about the spats as lots of people said the paint all got ripped off underneath when the spats came off. I haven't built up the courage to take them off yet. I've got no intention of putting the skirts back on, I prefer the sleeker skirtless look.
I suppose if it did damage the paint I could always put the spats back on till I was ready to get it resprayed and I'd be in this same position - so nothing to lose by trying it
