Maybe you could offer him some friendly parking tips..
When I see shit like that and I'm in my smart car I'll park right up next to the drivers door as close as I can get just for shits and giggles.
I feel in this particular case it's justified. Had it been a banged up old previous, then it'd be a different story.

It is indeed. It's burgundy, apparently. I love it.

I don't. Ride was way too firm with them on. They did look good, but these 18's are immensely better in terms of ride, aswell as handling.
I still have the 19's in my garage, without tyres. Keep meaning to advertise them for sale, but keep putting it off as they need a thorough refurb.

Cheers unfortunately, it's sort of broken at the moment. There's a piece of elastic on the side, just above the curve in the side window on the drivers side, which helps fold the fabric correctly when it's going down. This piece of elastic has come away from it's stitching and means it's not folding correctly and overlaps the Bodywork.
Need to ring them and get it sorted, but the place is about 60 miles away, so it'll be another full day messing about in Brighton whilst it gets fixed.

Your wife fails at Qashqai modifications. Mine when she had her black one (oo-er!) managed front bumper, bonnet, wing, headlamp, and wing mirror putting it in a hedge so that some other women didn't clip the driverside wing mirror.
Well done her.

Nothing major, changed the indicator bulbs from Amber to Chrome looks better imo.

Washed the Focus and cleaned the inside.
I'm not sure i want to sell it at the end of the month now. Apart from some stone chips on the front bumper, for almost 50k on the clock it's in amazing condition.

I just about managed to bring myself to fit a magnetax disc holder to my windscreen, which will house my security pass for work.
The plan was a full wash and wax and interior clean

Picked up my new front seat trims and bed boards for the camper, unfortunately they've made a mistake on one of the bed sections :'( so I've got to wait another few weeks for that to be rectified
