What have you done to your car today?

I just did a couple for quick fixes on mine which made a big difference in appearance...new wheel badges/centres as old were faded, new bonnet badge as old one had no colour left on it at all and a new shorter aerial (9 inch whip) as the original was too long but I didn't want to go full stubby.

Swapped over to 260M wheels wrapped in brand new Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres with 235/40/18 front and 265/35/18 rear sizes. Really impressed with the new MPS5 rubber even though it was only a short drive and loving the reflex silver on Ruby Schwartz

Great choice, those look really nice on your car. Classic, but modern.

Thanks Zedebee

Thanks Barty, loving what you've done to your coupe

I will just tease for now because removing the bumper without causing damage took me ages and did not allow me to finish but let's just say I lost some badges and the front plate holder... I will post the results, hopefully next weekend if not during the week, on my build thread

I bought some matt carbon vinyl and had a little go at wrapping some spare E85 trim I got from eBay. Was a small tricky piece but my first ever attempt at wrapping was ok. I now plan to do the passenger side trim and center trim when I get the chance.

That looks really good. Be interested to see the rest when it’s done

Looks really good, it helps using a warm hair dryer on the tricky parts. (but you probably know that)

Thanks mate, yes the hair dryer comes in handy! I had another little play with the door handle trim tonight, very addictive!

These looks great, nice job! Where did you get the carbon vinyl? I tried this on the door hold trim and the vinyl was too thick to stay wrapped properly around the edges.

I went to MDP as it’s only down the road from me, try the link here. Really easy to use and hardly need the heat tbh.

That looks fantastic

Nothing too exciting but I took it to RBM for an Oil service and treated it to some Tesco Momentum on the way home.

Did you combust some of that Momentum in an enthusiastic manner?

Not really as I put it in at about 5.30 pm, but I did combust some of the previous tank of BP Ultimate rather exuberantly on the way there this morning! :wink:

Rear spring carriers got striped down and descaled after a hot steam wash in the dishwasher (obviously whilst the other half was at work :wink

Then they were treated to some Powerflex polybushes, pretty straightforward for once
