Given it a good wash and cleaned all the glass, will wait till tonight when its cooler to polish and finish it off. So many stone chips and swirl marks though  :sad1:

Yeah that's the downside of cleaning the car...you notice all the stone chips. My front is covered in them, so obvious on black :sad1:

Yeah mines red so it shows them up pretty well too  :sick:

Thinking of having the bonnet, wings and bumper all blown over but i have always been told red is a nightmare to match so unsure if it would be best.

Just got an Ed30 front splitter. Bargain at £50. It has a small crack that has been repaired (kinda) but the body shop quoted me £80 to repair and paint. None too shabby. Just have to wait a month  :indifferent:


how much ? Wish I'd seen this for sale

£50! I know bargain, but now I am questioning it's legitimacy. Can't seem to find a part number anywhere on it...

Had the small cooling fan replaced under warranty by AmD Essex. Is now quiet as a mouse with AC running. :)

I hit a few potholes...but luckily no wheel damage ;p
Washed it...and before I dried it...the wind blew maple seeds all over her...but at least the temps finally made it over 80deg F.
Planned on making a cruise to the beach tomorrow, but missed nearly two weeks of engineering classes due to the flu ;[ and need stay home in order to catch up with some/much homework  :sad1:
Maybe next time there will be something a bit happier to report ;p Tires and front arb should be coming soon, and a Stern lower rear sub-frame brace: http://www.aptuning.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=1546&category_id=198&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=14&vmcchk=1&Itemid=14

Updated the firmware and maps on the RNS510. A bit annoying the latest maps are a year behind.
