Was the fitting of it ok?
I don’t know, I’ve just finished my //M bonnet and half way through my headlight upgrade so not even had time to attempt it yet, am hoping to before Xmas though it all depends on how long these lights take as I keep changing my mind about what I want to do and add :rofl:

Been thinking about getting my screen replaced due to pitting and really bad etching on the passenger side. Did you do it privately? If so do you mind sharing who you got to do it?
My screen was so pitted, fortunately though a had a good sized stone chip so it was replaced through the insurance by autoglass

Had a go at cleaning up the seats a bit. Look a lot better now, but there are a few odd whitish marks on the passenger seat and side of the centre console. Not sure what they are, or how to remove them, but they're not too bad (just a bit annoying).

Washed and dried, vacuumed out the interior, leather conditioned, cleaned all the plastic, then did a bit of cruising with the roof down :)

Quick wash and hoover.
Applied some tyre gel to the new Goodyear’s.
A thankless task, as is normal, it’s started to drizzle 😳

Was going to take it out a run to the shops today as it was blue skies this morning. Glad I didn't as it's chucking it down now.

Fitted new boot struts in the hope that the boot would open more than just a few millimetres when popped from the keyfob. Fail. :cry:

Got some leather cleaner and scrubbed the boot cover clean. Wiped down with wet wipes, dried and topped with conditioner, come out spotless!...

I noticed a lot of white scuffs on the plastic in the boot; any suggestions how to clean it...? Photos below
