Simply stunning, is your grill original? Really suits the car

Assuming you mean the kidney grilles they're probably standard ones that were fitted to every E85/6 apart from the 3 litres which got the ones with the grey slats. I put a pair with the black slats on my previous E86 as I thought they looked much better!

Oh sorry I thought he was talking about my new wiper blades :rofl: :evil: :thumbsup:
 
Washed, waxed, hoovered and cleaned inside, checked tyres, oil, water and topped up with fuel, the good stuff. All ready now for re fuel at Cullompton tomorrow. Didn’t want to be the only one there with a dirty car :thumbsup: 6CF79447-A001-4CED-B70A-462013681CE2.jpeg
 
Collected the car from Mike at The Polishing Company after having the Nebula Graphene ceramic coating applied

Finished retrimming the hardtop headlining. Pretty pleased with how it turned out. Gave up on the suede as it was a bitch to fit round the corners without creasing, so went with simple black headliner fabric in the end, with 3mm foam backing. Hopefully get the hardtop back together tomorrow and finally back on the car!

Top job :thumbsup:
 
Thanks all, I was thinking I could put together a ‘how to’ if anyone might find it useful. Took plenty of pictures along the way and definitely learned some worthwhile tips on what not to do! :D

Last push to get everything back together today :thumbsup:
