I find it very rewarding when cleaned, I now go round with cloth and a bit of Zymol to just go over spots and buff up front bits that probably get more abuse than other areas  :whistle:

looking very nice fella  :thumb:

Yep... hope to try and keep on top of it & just do a panel as and when required...
Sore back today, after the car cleaning, gardening & runs to the local dump.

I had to sacrifice the garage a while back >:(
Moved in to the current house about 6yrs ago & bought a slate bed 7ft pool table at the same time (always wanted one).  It's was in our dining room but Mrs G was wanting me to get rid of it.... I used the excuse that it couldn't go in the garage, coz I didn't like keeping the Elise outside...  that bought me 2yrs but once I sold the Elise, in no uncertian terms I was told the pool table was either going in the garage, or it was going on Gumtree.
bah.

No, not mapped.. the Stage 1 funds (and more) went on fixing the seized Hub/Swivel Bearings & I've kind of lost a bit of interest in upgrading the Meg since. 
I posted up on your other thread, about being on Meganesport.net...  your black R26 looked nice  :thumb:
Half considering selling the Megane soon myself...  did a track night the other month, had my fun with it... just been serviced last week.. so swithering whether to flog it now or keep it for another year.

(PS...  hope everything goes smoothly for your pick-up)
