LOL! they were still sleeping at 3pm! i had take the lining and old sunroof out myself.. then cleaned everything/removed the grille, sprayed the badges/changed the blanks and cleaned the indicators while i waited for them to get up.. was supposed to have the discs and pads done and a full polish too, but theyre tired.. bless em  :angry:
she is looking fab tho.. even a couple of local mechanics came over to admire her,and were very impressed with the engine bay :)
so chuffed with my sunroof..we couldnt figure out how to change the internal cover though.. but it looks fine.slightly darker but plain anyway.

note to self.. get a new tax disc holder  :rolleyes:

andy have you sprayed your mirror backs or were they like that as standard? and what do u use on your trim and bumper? i use linseed oil but its no good on this car as the plastic has swirls that it wont get through :(
