by grey do you mean green? :wink:

mine says grey when i typed in the vin but it's definitely more of a green.

It's green 'cuase you don't use Renovo :D :poke:

Autoglym are recommended by aston martin according to the bottle :P good enough for astons, good enough for me!
 
Everybody know that the hood is made of waterproof kryptonite, 2.32 layers. Nothing gets through that...

I use dyluthium crystal wax paste to top up the outer layer of kryptonite.... :?

Which reminds me, has anyone seen my over head laughing sprocket? :)

Ah, the Kryptonite and dyluthium crystal wax method... ultra-weatherproofing specially designed for the stoating rain you get north of the Border... :D

Leave them on, their flapping will assist the roof motor prolonging its lifespan. The cat will ensure they flap :thumbsup:

Also, this will have the added benefit of keeping your car clean, as the birds will eat all of the bugs and insects that would otherwise stick to your windscreen...
 
Leave the damn pigeons on the roof, pulling them off may make holes in the outer layer rendering it permeable.
Best let the car eat the larger parts then open and close the roof a few times. The remains can then be blended into the roof using hot bitumen and a small makeup trowel (the best size is as used by the orange women in Debenhams cosmetic department)
Any feathers sticking out can be removed with a wax strip.
 
I use roofing felt, but not the coarse one as it cracks when the roof is folded.
Just make sure you buy the right nails.

Roofing felt is a good medium-term solution. As anyone knows, however, a felt roof has a limited timespan even with fastidious maintenance with bitumen. Mine will be ten years old next year and I am looking to have my felt replaced with good old tiles. And possibly solar panels at the same time. Saves money in the long run if I decide to go hybrid.

Its pigeon adhesive factor is low though, they slip off on the beaded water...

Quite a lot of of hunters in our little island! Pigeons not much of a problem! :smile:

can't you still get a government grant for your solar panels? Save you some money there ...
