What have you done to your car today?

Lockdown time totally not wasted.... :wink:

Also treated the seats and left the car outside to help the leather open up and absorb it a bit better (if that's actually possible?).
The gloss will change to a nice matt finish.

Lovely! May I ask who makes the brace?
I dont honestly know as got from the classifieds recently. Was anodised black and with the other 2 being corroded , decided to repaint them to all look the same. Sorry I can answer your question.
I had been looking at this before hand and they do an alloy one also.

Déjà vu. You alright there bud? :?

Hahahahaa, OK, so the real explanation was that the browser times out from the forum. I asked the question the first time, went to submit, then it asked me to login... and I got called away from the computer. I returned, and logged in and it seemed as if the message hadn't been sent, so I logged in and re-wrote the message.
 
Gave it another wash, polished all the glass and cleaned the interior. Parked back in the garage again 😩

Last night I fitted new fog-lights (ones not complete with sea creatures and coral reef) and simultaneously I fitted upgraded Novsight LED bulbs.

Feeling smug with how good they looked, today I washed, polished and waxed it. And, finally got around to de-badging the boot and engine designation (which I had been desperate to do for ages!).

The final picture clearly shows the nicer colour and clarity of the upgraded bulbs and clear lenses. Obviously both sides were eventually done.

Fitted speakers to the doors. Slightly better than it was.

Incredible! Those Novisight bulbs are the bomb!

Yes, you may be right.
There’s only so many walks, grass cutting, window cleaning, housework and shed tidying jobs you can do.
Is it time to go back to work yet😳
I don’t know how you retired people find enough to do.
