Haha I finished this year


Just waiting for another cheap centre grill to turn up on ebay lol

Need to make some money as I broke one of my wind deflectors yesterday, cleaning the car currently attempting to glue it as it's only the bit that tucks under at the edge

Heavy handed mofo!

Heavy handed mofo!

It was the OCD cleaning I was trying to clean the top corner and pushed a little too hard.

I also managed to bodge fix the hole in my undertray with some rubber car mat I had spare from trying to do the wind noise fix

Bit of a pre winter clean:

Decided stickers weren't cool anymore:

IronX

Roof polished, spoiler to do:

Elmo survived the sticker cull:

Reflections:

Waxing:

I managed to get the whole car washed and clayed.The roof, rear end, bonnet, front end and front wings polished, black holed and treated to 3 coats of wax. Leaving the doors and rear quarter panel to do tomorrow.

Finished the cleaning yesterday:

Busy day today with a trip through the peak district on some tasty roads to the Conner's Day charity car meet:

Finished off by seeing a nice white K1 with green bits and a BTCC Barmy Army sticker on leaving the carpark after going to see Jimmy Carr

Ibiza Owners Club mega meet at S.h.a.r.k. tomorrow... wondering whether the car needs a clean lol!

Looking good! You should try touching the stone chips on your bumper in with paint, wait till it dries and then flat back with wetsanding paper. It works really well with non metallic paint

That grill looks spot on! was the altea mesh off eBay too? I'm deffo doing this

 

[JonnyH10]

Love how clean your car is!

 

[FR_MATT]

Thanks

I've been considering addressing the stone chips but I'm a little scared of messing it up!

The altea mesh was £20 from a regular seat garage

 

[phillpotts92]

Yea I've done stone chips but it never looks good always a different colour!

 

[tim144]

Here's my wind deflector I thought I'd fixed:

But it snapped as soon as I tried to refit it

 

[phillpotts92]
