Hi All,

Well I am going to have a couple of bits done in carbon wrap to see what it looks like before I take the plunge.

Starting with the interior door handle surrounds

Anyone know how they come off? I know their is a hex screw behind the cover under the door handle but what about the rest, does it just pop off or do I need to remove the door liners to access fittings??

Have you tried asking the woodworm nicely if they'll just give it a little push from the back. :poke: :D
 
Completely off topic, but what audio system have you got in your car? The sail cover by the wing mirror looks completely different to mine. Are there two speakers in there or just the usual tweeter?

Oh bugger! I really must stop this! The NHS don't need people with broken ribs turning up :D
 
As an update, I went down to my lock up this morning, half a mile walk (my daily exercise, thanks Boris :thumbsup: ) entered the cul de sac lane, (no pedestrian access) where my lock up is located at the very end. I pulled the front half of the car out and started looking at what I would need.
I hear a throat being cleared, look up and there is a friendly bobby with his car parked at the end of the cul de sac.
"Do you mind if I ask you what you are doing sir", I explained I had walked half a mile, that I was going to work on my car for half an hour then walk home. He asked me what I was doing to the car, after i explained he said "spending time outside your home for non essential work on your vehicle is not in keeping with the spirit of the current lockdown and I would like you to return home".
So, I did.......

Oh well, at least he was polite, and I assume you were too.
They have a very difficult job to do right now and I'm guessing they don't have any clearer idea of exactly where the boundaries are than the rest of us.
All we can do is say 'yes officer', thank them for the job they are doing, and make their lives easier.
 
The lockdown is really bringing out the jobsworths in the police force.

When the civil unrest starts in the big cities they might have to climb down from barking orders at middle class people going hiking and do some real police work.

I fully support this view.
However, you have to feel for the OP, who has to keep his car half a mile from his house. Hearing and seeing all the people on this forum taking advantage of the lockdown to fettle their cars on their own drives or in their own garages, whilst he cannot work on his.
Rules is rules and all that, but it cannot seem very fair to him, and we're just rubbing it in I guess.

Thanks Enuff,
if you analyze it i was simply taking my allowed exercise (going outside) and dropping in at my lockup which is at the end of a cul de sac with no passing pedestrian or vehicle traffic before walking home.
I live alone and I work alone self employed, I have had zero human contact since 22nd March after a driving day out with another member. So, risk wise I am probably about as low as it gets.
What gets my goat is people going to the shops every day, taking the whole family i.e. introducing four spreaders if anyone's infected as opposed to only one. Walking the dog when they have a garden etc etc.
Me walking to my garage is no different to anyone taking a few steps outside to their own garage. Outside is outside.

It's easy to be a keyboard warrior but judging anyone without knowing the full picture is unacceptable.

Stay safe everyone, apparently between 2-3% of the population have the virus so dont worry too much right now :-)
