    What have you done to your car today?

    Replaced rear centre brake light on the boot. Old one had developed a crack in the centre. Fairly easy but you need an 8mm box spanner to get on the 3 nuts after removing a couple of bits of trim. Also started paying attention to the old CF badges I had put on a few years back which were faded...

    Car park dings/scratches

    I'm just doing the mandatory driver awareness self paced video training from my company. It has a section about parking and how to in a supermarket. The advice given is to go and park near a really nice looking car because that way they are less likely to ding you. There is no hope. My wife...

    Big Brake kit - worth the money?

    I run the K-Sports all round myself. If you do fit the rears make sure they send you the correct bracket DR12A. The feel and confidence you get are very good, I have not regretted buying them at all. My old brakes had got to the point where they needed a complete refurb so decided to put the...

    Z4 VS G35
