Im really looking forward to being able to mess and clean the cars in the warm and dry! Think the garage is like 7mx6m so plenty of room!

Had a look on unphased quickly last night, your car looks awesome. Wheels are  :drool:

Ta mate, mine isn't as highly specked as yours inside, I would like nice seats the standards are good but would love a retrim just too much money. Ha ha. Oh and bags as coilovers are ok but when you go low not too hot in my opinion.

Did you resolve your knocking?

May have gone overboard on the seats... I may have polished, jetseal 109 then collinite 476s x2 layers  :innocent:

No ha ha, I think it's the springs settling when first driving as it isn't constant. I put the ecs bolt and shims in and it didn't do anything.

I don't know what colonite is mate! Some polish or sealant? I have a tub full of gear now for washing and polishing the car it's ridiculous must be over a hundred quid easy more probably.

I borrowed a buffer not as easy as it looks

Its meant to be a mega tough wax. 2 or 3 layers should be enough for winter! We put one layer on the capri but mine is still holding well with dodo juice and jetseal. Jetseal 109 is the sealant! I just leave the buffering to my brother, i get bored!
