pic was taken after i drove home so alot of the glass has fallen in. im guessing it was caused by the rear demister heating the glass for less than 2min then coolin when i went to get the food.

Green cotton filter

wee up date; last week i slapped some wind deflectors on the car. today i popped a green cotton filter in.

how often do folk clean theirs and how do you do it? also while i was at it i noticed that the air box isn't secured by the 2 screws at the front.

passed MOT today :clap::clap::clap::clap: also got A/C serviced, was told there was only 200ish grams of refrigerant in the car. to be expected since its the first time its been done.

service next month :( its gonna be expensive. time for the cam belt to get done, although the cars only done about 27k miles.

got some carbon fibre 3m vinyl to wrap the front S badge if i can figure out what i'm doing :confused:

had a puncture in the last remaining original pirelli p zero nero. was the R/N/S tyre done 27000miles.

replaced with a £30 part worn hankook ventus v12.

bad news is the shity jack slipped and dented the sill. now have 2 lines about an inch long on the sill. will get pics.

also stuck some carbon vinyl on the front S badge, was my first attempt so its not great.

Does the roof box fit into the holes inside the door/window shuts?

Car is looking nice in yellow, shame about the damanged sill, you planning on getting it sorted?

cheers, i was livid when i damaged the sill. makes it worse when you're the 1 to blame. i've not had any quotes for the repair yet but im gonna wait till the end of the month cos insurance is due soon. i want it done before the salt goes on the roads.

yeah there's a little knob to locate the front bars in the hole in the door shuts. the rear bars dont have this. there are black arrows on the rear windows to indicate where to tighten the bars.
