Fitted a DDocks holder for my iPod, snug as a bug. Great service from them but got clobbered £23 VAT by bloody customs! When the 7.5 rocks up it will jump ship to enable CarPlay to work from my iPhone.

Bought some 20mm bolt on spacers for the rear. What do people think would be the best size to go with them for the front.

This has been covered I quite a few posts in varying topics a few peeps run different variations of front and rear I myself have 20mm rears 15mm fronts had no issues at all with rubbing on the arches and I run stock 19" Santiago wheels

That's what I was thinking, 15mm front. I had read the various bits on here about the perfect size and a lot of people were running 15mm rear and 12mm front. I never have the car loaded up with weight so I thought I would be safe enough with 20mm on the rear plus I rather have bolt on spacers.

Finally took the winter tyres off the wife's, dusted the cob webs off, did a spot off off roading over the fields at Highclere Castle

Finally got my cf covered mirror caps fitted. Bought these last year and one of the securing clips snapped so in the loft they went.... Thought I'd give them another go today, driver's side went on okay and fitted fine. Passenger side (with the broken clip) was a poor fit with the side nearest the window arcing in too much leaving a big gap on the lower edge. Dunked it in near boiling water for a minute which softened it enough to make it more pliable and this time it fitted well. Will order a plastic welding kit to refix the broken part of the clip although it seems pretty solid on just the one.

Cheers Neil, I was pleased with the cf effect wrap but I like the glossy finish of these plus of course I already had them

Lesson learned though for the future, be careful and don't break stuff!
