Cheers guys

Just a little surface coating from the wash Merv that's all.

Need to get a few other jobs done now

I could do with a full week on it Tyron trust me then we would be somewhere near where we need to be for this time of the year

Looks spot on mate.

I knew that colour wheel would look nice against the DBM paint work.

Ryan your getting to smart for your own good

Yep winter wheels for a few weeks then I drop the others back on for Japfest, I've got to deep clean the inner arches and the calipers yet so no point in swapping over only to change again so the winter one's will stay until I do that job.

Danny they do look good don't they... stealth is the word Daz used, I was not planning on dropping tyres on them just yet but with one thing and another I had to.... picked up a brand called Nexen, they appear to have a good write up and managed to get them for £70 a corner all in... I think they are related to Michelin.

Well I'm due a week so maybe I may just do that

I can't get the bumper painted before Japfest so the flap will not be ready by then either but I still have a few jobs I would like to do anyway

Cars looking great as always Si.
I also spent the day cleaning yesterday, wash, super resin, extra gloss, windows in and out, hoovered the lot and even gave the door jams a little tickle. Under bonnet clean next i think. All in aid of the MOT today, which it passed.

lOOks stunning!

There's just something about spending some time on your car, but not driving it. Love it. Can't wait to get to mine again. lOOks like i've done a Rhonnda Stage.

Thanks guys, it will be good to come to a meet properly now it is a right royal pain when you come along without the car for more than a few

I was hoping to get a few jobs done for the start of the season but this has dropped me back a bit so through the year there will be a couple of changes, nothing major I'll add
