Nice day so...
To start with, I blew one of my speakers the other week so I bought a replacement set of the same ones as the sound was good - decided to make myself a decent set of speaker mounts and tidy up the wiring
Then, given the hosepipe ban, I bought myself a water butt so I could use the pressure washer - given the car is a daily hack now and has been used in all weathers since the hosepipe ban without being cleaned the before pictures were too embarrassing
This is the results of today's efforts, (Soaped down with muc-off, washed with autoglym and waxed with some Meguires stage 3 carnuba wax))
Being a daily hack has it's downside though
Chipped wheels...
Stone-chipped the A-piller
Testament to Ryan's paint job and the blue base coat that it's not that noticeable...
Clipped the splitter on a kerb...
And finally someone has driven into the back of the car and the paint is all cracked
But, if you like it despite the battle scars, Vote for me

This the 3rd shade of white since I bought them so I'm just going to live with them - might get some gun-metal 17s if I can find some wide enough to fill the arches

That's what happens when you don't own a trailer queen. TBH the rear bumper has polished out in terms of the scratches - if the paint starts to lift where it has cracked I'll get it resprayed otherwise I'll live with it - I'm just p!ssed off that people can drive in to your car and then just **** off

Looks gay as a daisy Jon.
Joking- as always she looks sweeeet! As for the minor defects, most people would kill to have such a small list for a daily drive, don't stress.
Keep up the good work.

They don't sound too shabby, decent head unit and some 6x9s in the rear - could really do with some sound-proofing on the doors but that involves quite a bit of effort
