What have you done to your car today?

Cheers pal. There's no rush to build them as I'm a fan of tighten, settle and tighten. I want to make sure they are fully seated and run true before I either fit them or sell them.

Are the mating faces painted / coated ?


Why wouldn't they be ? :?


There are other surface protection coatings other than paint that don’t have the same thickness nor flexibility.
Two painted faces isn’t the best mechanical interface.
 
Wife and kids are away for the weekend so the zed is getting special treatment over the next few days.

Big plans...

1. Thorough clean inside and out
2. Full re-wrap of interior including all dash and center console
3. Caliper refurb

Made a start on the wrap tonight. Coming on well so far...

Thinking of going back to the whippy on the coupe, it works fine on the toaster, but reception is so hit and miss on the Coup. Gutted as I love the look. Any other "shorter" options with better reception?

Do you listen to AM radio still? That aerial doesn’t affect FM

Nope, but it's not as constant on the Coupe as was on the Roadster, drops off more often. I know as listen to same station on same route most days,gym,work,home and lose signal more on the Coupe ...Used whippy and stubby on both cars btw.
 
7 hour session today :)

1. Carbon wrapped the interior
2. Leather restore kit used on a slightly worn bolster
3. Refurbed the steering wheel trim
4. Turtle Wax plastic restorer applied to all internal plastics
5. Sprayed the only remaining bit of grey plastic left - under the handbrake

Didn't even manage to get round to washing the poor thing but the inside has seen some serious love today :)

You’ve made good use of your time! :thumbsup:

Only once in a blue moon do the wife and kids go away for a couple of days. Making the most of it.

I'm now going to get comfy in my pants and sink a few tins whilst watching something other that Paw Patrol :rofl:

Hi Greg, do you mind sharing which kit you used to do this and would you recommend it?

Sure thing.

I bought this Renovo stuff from Amazon and applied it with a microfibre cloth. The worn bolster looks great now and I buffer over the rest of the seats which now have a nice fresh shine.

Never used any of the other products, but I'm certainly very happy with today's results!
