Now that the Pensions Advisory Service has closed for the week-end

I'm afraid that I have a tendency to take discussions in a tangent. Sorry about that!

No worries Rusty and no need to apologise. Hopefully it was only a playful dig!

Cleaned and coloured the hood with Renovo yesterday. Completed the job this morning with the Renovo waterproofer.

I also removed the two seat belt material protectors inside the hood (They'd frayed quite badly over time) and replaced them with two larger but very flexible black leather protectors.

The photos below show the final results.







There's a possibility that I may have to "touch up" the badges occasionally but I can live with that.

All in all I think I'm fairly happy with it.

Looks tidy & subtle. I don't think the badges look out of place at all.
Nice solution.

Sorry, one small difference. I didn't sew or iron the patches on. I used a product called "Goop" (the marine version) which is a waterproof rubber adhesive. A thin coating on each side firmly pressed into place and there was no need for anything else.
