Yeah I've found that site a pain in the arse. The moderators seem strict, took an age to get my account approved and every time I try and post an update on my thread with pictures it says it needs moderator approval and they just seem to get forgotten about.

I still go on to browse other people's threads as there aren't many Ds on here or thecorsa, but for posting on it seems a lot of hassle.

I just want to search there. Ha.
It is full of kids though TBH, seems like a forum where you can't say anything negative without being bitched too.

Still, seen a few Chilli ones on there with some changes, so will show the GF and see what she says to the ideas.

Yeah I quickly made the decision I'll just browse there as opposed to getting too involved, doesn't seem to be worth the effort lol.

I could still browse the progress area when I was awaiting account approval though, so not sure what's up there? There are some very nice cars on there I must admit.

Browsing no issue, just have to wade through everything rather than being able to search for anything specific, that's the annoyance.

Took a trip to Edinburgh.





The 600 miles made the car filthy!





So I've just cleaned it.











That is all.

Think their prices vary, were only 18.95 when I bought them.

Spent the afternoon on the car.

Filled it up with some juice. Gave it a wash. Tyre shined the tyres. Cleaned and hoovered the inside. Love it when it's clean inside and out

Finally got round to giving the steering wheel a good clean. The lady destroyed it with sun tan lotion last summer and it's been pretty grotty since:




Used my trusty underrated secret weapon...baby wipes. Came up a treat:




That's the same part of the steering wheel, in the same light, with zero editing or processing. No flash on either photo either. Just shows how grim it was before lol.

Much better:

New side repeaters on. Light output isn't great but they look much better.

I still want to get rid of the LE badges but the misses won't let me.

No that chip has been there for ages.

This paint seems to chip very easily, the front bumper is covered and there are a few more small ones on the bonnet. I've got a little touch up kit but haven't got round to using it yet.
