Not really any proper updates as yet, although spending on the car will be commencing soon. Got a few ideas I wanna get done for this year for sure, whether that'll happen I don't know. We'll see I suppose.
Other than that, here's a few pics of recent activities, not terribly exciting at all  .
It's generally been pretty dirty for a while, not bothered cleaning it as often as I'd like to, but last weekend I thought I'd try out some Mer high shine shampoo. (Vertical pic warning, were taken to be posted to instagram)
Pretty impressed with the mer stuff for an initial cleaning stage, seems to cut through the dirt well and leaves a nice finish.
Now, a slight update of sorts, some of you may have seen already.
SA rears. Had them since the start of the year and absolutely love them. I had to mackle up a bulb holder plate because I didn't like the idea of using silicone to hold the bulbs in.
Those of you with a keen eye will notice a high level brake light, this is retro fitted from a corsa C. Kinda modernises the lights. And practical too with it being a low car!

Still not a fan of the exhaust. Sticks out like a sore thumb. Needs to be smaller, round and generally more subtle in my opinion. Rest of the car is awesome though  Looking forward to seeing what your plans are!

Agree, but personally have it hidden to make the rear look cleaner

Jorded, cheers man, it's always nice to get comments like that. I absolutely love the colour, especially in the sun, the gold pearl looks boss.

Definitely is one of the best colours, shame I had to sell the rio sport I had to rebuild my flame red one, was such a lovely colour in the sun.
Btw. I think I'm falling out of love with the cream dishes. Wouldn't know how else to do them but just can't seem to like them anymore :S
Still love it

Polished dishes, cream centres Paul! Hmmmm that would be a little bit awsome! I bought some of that mer shampoo as needed something and it's in 3 for 2 in halfrauds so got it with some other bits but I'm yet to try it!

Wow, last post 2014.
Still alive. Only with a cleaner bay.
Had no end of running issues, only recently got it all sorted.
