Had the exhast system checked for an annoying rattle under load & quote for tyres, ouch!! :nerd:

Topped up Oil & screenwash, washed car with 2 buckets, applied colour magic & buffed off, applied AG HD Wax and buffed off, applied another coat as the 1st went on/off so easily, blacked up the bumpers & installed a new DVD/headunit :laugh:

Now i just need to fix the passenger window & find the original red anni badges on fleabay or somewhere... :smug:

Picked up my set of BBS RA's and starting to prep them for a diy refurb. Had to do a bit of metal manipulation to straighten the lip on two of them from kurb damage, amazing how much fun hitting things with a hammer is :)

Making up for lost time

Looked at whilst having my morning cuppa and spent 5 minutes debating washing it. Then decided I couldn't be bothered as its only going to rain later :(

Yesterday I Tightened up the boot latch, covered the door rubbers with some stuff a mate got from a Merc dealer through the trade for me to stop them squeeking. (as the stuff VW used lasted no time at all) This seems to have stopped most but not quite all my rattles.... yipee :cool:

New Brembo discs and pads all round.  New suspension and top mounts all round.

MOT this morning - passed first time.

Taxed it.  All in all £257 well spent.
