For all those obsessed with cleaning their cars ;)
Finally got round to taking a pic of my 'new' car after owning it for about 3 months. All mechanical work is now done and it's a cracking drive. It's such a joy driving a car that has stone chips and the odd pin ding in the bodywork. I didn't even flinch listening to the brambles etc scrape down the side of the car when I had to edge tight against hedgerow letting someone by on a single track road.
Not bad considering that with a new engine and mods the whole thing has cost circa 6k including the car.
I'm not so **** about bodywork damage, although old habits die hard and still park in 2 bays at supermarkets well away from the entrance

I think it does actually!
As proved on top gear or some other program i saw. makes it smoother, less resistance.
Cant say ive ever notice it though!
