Took my gaitor of to fit my seat sport gear knob(15 quid eBay steal:) )
Couldn't find pliers to undo the clip so went at it with a large flathead screwdriver....over enthusiastically to say the least,and gashed 2 fingers.

Going to fit it tomorrow when I find the pliers :)

To be honest they look small on pictures but when you look at it live they look great. Just what I wanted really.
Yes, getting sportlines fitted on Wednesday. Got them today and couldn't find a garage who would do it before bank holiday :(

Bought a set of new bulbs. Then discovered that there was nothing wrong with the originals, but that one of my headlight units isn't sending power to my dipped beam bulb. A trip to the stealer tomorrow :(!

Oh...and to top it all off, my phone fell off the engine cover, and the fan belt has cut it in half! No more Galaxy!

Those that have their new springs, could they put together a guide when changing them over? :)

Now also finally done my THS mounts. What a job but just starting the car you can already notice the difference from stock mounts.

lol Benzy I just finished painting mine as well.
Bought a paint from halfrauds which was a nightmare to apply.
Even after 3 coats didn't cover it how it should so probably tomorrow will have to give it another one.

Washed the car, took off the alloys and cleaned each one. Used meguiars cleaner wax on her and then some poor boys pro polish :) cleaned the leather and hoovered her as well.
