This weekend and last I made a start on bringing the GTS back to her former glory and in the process bring her back to the way she was when she left the factory 9 years ago. What seems to be apparent on the GTS badges with the red accents is that, over time, the red accents just flake off... I wasn't feeling brave enough to paint the badges in situ, nor very happy about removing the badge and applying new adhesive, and in the end I bought a new pair. A bit of handiwork with some dental floss, masking tape and rubbing alcohol, and I'm pleased with the end result (forgive me because I didn't get a chance to wash/wax her today):

Last weekend I removed my 'lateral' air vents (as they're described on Scuderia parts) having realised that at some stage they were coloured black - whoever took the time did a great job, as initially I thought they were painted but no, they had been wrapped, and wrapped well. With some patience (and a sharp kitchen knife) I was able to remove the black wrap, and treat the chrome periphery to a buff and polish.

Next on the jobs list - repair/refurb the front grill, and change that ruddy front bumper badge.
