So, with the weather looking good for the week I decided i'd wash the car to get the most of it (you know, that "clean car" feeling).

Wanted to do it yesterday, but it was toooooo hot....still 27 degrees at 8pm!!

So here she is:

I think it looks good from a few metres, but close up it is in need of a good detail....primarily decontamination/clay etc as the paint is quite rough to touch.

No, 2011 model, 52k miles.

Have had some issues with the front bumper (see other threads). It has been resprayed (crap job, not exact colour match) and doesn't fit "quite" right, although at the moment it's not bugging me too much....might be because its got an engine warning light on, and they can't look at it until 6th July...says its safe to drive with reduced power....and I can tell it has reduced power!
