The outside of the car isn't too bad. Chrome rims aren't my thing and I have the same problem with the window trim above my windows.

The engine bay on the other hand needs A LOT of TLC. Get some engine degreaser and get it all cleaned up. Also like Mike stated, find something else besides the cardboard between the pipe and battery and maybe take apart the thermostat housing and get it all cleaned up/polished or something. With a little work, you can have a good, clean ride :thumbsup
