First wash in roughly a month - the longest it's gone without.





Belvedere alloys are a bit of pain to clean but not as bad as I thought.

Some Belvedere wheels have come up for sale on eBay. Not a bad price considering the tyres are pretty much new + the red centre caps are included. Bit off haggling and there's a potential bargain.

Whats everyone doing about wheel security these days?  I recently had two 20'' wheels stolen from an Audi A6 even with two wheel locking nuts fixed.  £1006 each wheel, plus £225 each for tyres to replace.  Even Audi confirmed wheel locking nuts were a complete waste of money now with the latest removal tools available to buy.

It's like car security, if the scum bags want something then no amount of security will stop them unfortunately.

I wouldn't say that locking wheelnuts are a waste of money. Sure they won't stop the most determined thieves, but they're still better than nothing. As are a good security light and maybe a wheel clamp.

However some things, like your and your family's safety, are more important than a car. If they can get past all your security measures, best to let them get on with it.

Coming up to a year of ownership so I thought I'd treat it to some Clubsport/R rear lights. Question is - do I go black badges now?

I decided to really spoil it rotten. Any guesses?

Dark lights look brilliant, something which I have thought about a few times myself. Did you get a clubsport steering wheel?
