Without xenons you mean Mike? There's an improvement with having a projector lens in front of the halogen I'm finding. Obviously it would have been lovely to have them again, but you can't have everything

Might uprate the bulbs in due course, but seem to be doing a decent job at the moment, in the time I've tested then

Still waiting for pictures Steve - This is unlike you

Lol - sorry Rob Do have some from this weekend, but they're a bit random

General update -

• Exterior decals removed (sorry Andrew, but they just weren't me)
  
• Dashmount fitted for my TomTom (lower left-hand side by climate)
  
• Had a full interior valet done on Thursday - to get it all nice and fresh
  
• Leather seat bolsters plus other leathery bits cleaned and nourished with Poorboy's Leather Cleaner
  
• Genuine Skoda boot net fitted
  
• Osram Diadem rear indicator bulbs fitted - not done the fronts yet
  
• Std front maplight bulbs replaced with Philips BlueVisions
  
• New rear wiper blade fitted today; front mudflaps also bought at the same time, but not yet fitted
  

Its got a layer of sealant over it now and I did a general clean yesterday, which will tide me over until full detail time (hopefully middle of this month) and the paint's beading nicely as a result. Plus I also did the shuts, plus door plastics and seat bases - cleaned with Meg's Vinyl Cleaner, then protected with 303 Aerospace Protectant.

So just doing little bits really, as I go along

Cheers,

Steve

Front mudflaps fitted this lunchtime :woot:

This'll have to do until it stops raining/hailing/snowing

I agree.

I thought you could at least park a car....

So, you got a 'family ;)' car.

Tis best to be prepared

:sofahide:

No, mine's the red car in the picture, not the Focus.

Should have gone to Specsavers...

06 Octys in red rock

Slightly biased hey Tom..........

Nice work Steve, look forward to seeing some proper pics, they do look good in red though........

Congratumalations Steve. Red is obviously the correct colour for a car, and for wine, and for erm, riding hoods.

Red cars are faster and shinier and betterer than other cars, that's a red car fact.

:iagree:

Whoops I'm biased too

Will be doing a full detail sometime next week, weather dependant. Fingers crossed

Steve

Think twice before you do the wheels in anthracite mate. May spoil a great car.

^ he speaks the truth, anthracite wheels just look perpetually dirty!
