My first car!!
Bought my Bonneville SSEi a few months ago and I've been lovin it. Already cleared the front corners, and while attempting to clear the rear ones I ruined my middle reflector. Gotta learn somehow I guess. Planning on getting a sub and possibly tinting the windows. Also considering debadging it. I was happy to find this great forum of other Bonneville owners, hopefully I can learn a thing or two.

Re: My first car!!
Hey! I just got my first car and it was a Bonneville as well! What year is yours? I hope you end up getting everything you want to do done. Must be a good time for new Bonneville owners! 
Quick question though: how'd you manage to damage the lens while cleaning it? What were you using? But definitely tine the windows - mine has then - it looks awesome and you won't regret it!

Driving a car is like commanding a submarine - the deeper you go the better your chances!

It probably de-laminated, where the black plastic pulls away from the clear lens.
