After this Tom proceeded to do the waxoyl, and fit the trim that was removed, and i was informed i could collect my car whenever i was ready.
I collected the car on Wednesday 28th had another great chat with Tom, saw Andy (trikey) car goldie on the ramps with his sill removed and being prepared for the same treatment, although his car needed some extra work inside the sill, see his thread.
These are the photos i have taken today of the extremely outstanding work carried out by Tom on NUK.

A big thank you to Tom for getting me in at the end of September before the bad weather moves in on us over the winter.
I cannot recommend his services enough if you have to get this job done to your car which you will sooner or later, please try and get yourself booked in with him even if you have to wait you know it's going to be done right.
Most likely a few more photo tomorrow when the NUK has been shoed
