Washed and waxed it. Next job will be to remove the wheels for a deep clean and to rotate the tyres to even out the wear.

2019 Oryx White 5dr TCR.

Looks great. I always think that the mirror caps work so well on yours. Lovely touch. Santiago’s look great when clean. Miss mine!

Started to fit my black mirror caps (a la Watts) but it started to absolutely chuck it down.

On the passenger side, the mirror glass has come away from it's backing plate (I'd noticed it wobbling at speed recently) but while playing with the mirrors it came off in my hand. The black plastic piece that clips in to the mirror assembly is still attached but the glass itself has come unstuck from this backing plate. Any ideas on best way to re-attach it...superglue?

Finally made a booking for two more Falkens and the fitting of the new rear Brembo's disc and pads I purchased a while ago .. £80 I think they where, the originals are dreadful .. Really happy with this car  :smiley:

Painted  my rear disc hubs. I learnt not to bother again using a brush. Luckily had some silver spray to go over the brush lines and looks fine.

Also polished my exhaust box. I used metal polish and wire wool. It only took 5 minutes and now shines !
Then protected with dlux.

Fitted a brand set of facelift rear lights to my Mk7. Love the newer look and the sequential indicators.
