I used high quality 3M waterproof masking tape over the T30 socket holes so the paint doesn't get chipped or even marked by the removal process

Pic below shows it as it is now, day after the wing was refitted.

Very nice, I do something similar with the wheel nuts so they don't rust up on me.

Well that's mine dropped off at paint shop, decided to wait on re spray so having roof re laquered and a wheel refurb for £450! Awaiting a quote for 3M stonechip protection wrap to roof also.

So the bonnet has been reunited with the rest of my Cecil after a trip to the spray booth on its own last week

Just the passenger side front wing to do now and I'm almost there

although I suspect I'll find a few more bits to refurbish along the way

Agree Mike.
Mine been laid up for months and now has a brand new battery used once probably knackered.
Seriously thinking of doing a full resto on it above and below to get it mint. MOT expires end of this month as well which isn't helping this decision process!!!
