Right then.

Side skirt trim is now on

and I have a replacement bumper but won't be fitting it untill the bad weather passes!

Getting a full service on friday and one (or two) of my wheel bearings have gone

but I found new rear wheel bearings in the car when I brought it so will be getting them fitted

Headlights may be fitted this evening if its still light but I havent had time (or motivation in the snow!) to do them yet

Plans for the next 2 weeks are:

Full service (booked for friday)
Leather the parcel shelf (being done on saturday

)
H.I.D's
New head unit (soon as I know how much the service costs

)

Then it will be all focus on the rear bumper/panel being sorted

Suggestions/Comments welcome!

Just phoned the garage and Ive still got half hour to an hour to wait for my car

They found a couple of seals that needed changing, air filter, oil, oil filter, drivers side rear wheel bearing was totally buggered!, ABS light is on so he suspects wiring, and he's just given it a general check over for me

Hopefully it will be all peachy after today!

Car service and drivers side wheel bearing are now done, got an amazing price too

Went to do the lights today but my grill has been cable tied on so left it for now

Will be getting a new debadged grill sprayed with the bumper and then do lights/ new grill at the same time

Going to hold off getting the head unit and get the car looking good ready for march (when the shows start and I want my car on the stand at Spring fest

)

My new bumper will hopefully be going to the bodyshop in the next week or two

Progress on the H.I.D's I ordered..
