Might save some painful posting that way Chris!

It's hard to get in and out of your car and too small for me unless my legs are under my chin , I did not have a problem with the new one

[ChrisRs]

A new one is definitively out of the question

These cars are not for tall people..Ive pushed the seat forward again and its no longer rubbing

[ChrisRs]

Thanks

Ive edited it Steve

Shaun Wistow again from Civinfo....aka Northern Monkey

Soon you won't be able to trust anyone!!

Car ready for a wash and wax refresh tomorrow after being deluged with serious rain since Xmas Eve

Our DS4 is unbelievably filthy from the drive to Scarborough and Whitby on Boxing Day, through the floods

Car wash day

Watch this space

[ChrisRs]

Decided to not post pictures.........

The car looks exactly the same as it did the last time I washed and waxed it..so does the DS4

The custom made outdoor triple lined car cover bought with Xmas money should be here soon

So it should be very well protected from Storm ******..........whatever they decide to call it

[ChrisRs]

This arrived today:

Should make it breath better

We shall see

Hey Chris - ever thought of adding a scoop for the full CAI effect?:

Looks interesting

I think I'll do some research

Many thanks

[ChrisRs]

Car cover came today

[Chriswright03]

I always though those things were a HUGE NO NO with you detailing Guys because they scratch the paintwork.  I know when my bike was outside the cat used to climb under the cover to sit on it and of course he would scratch the paintwork with his claws on the way up and down.

I'm not really a fan either. Car obviously needs to be clean before you put the cover on - probably not an issue for Chris

 

But it's also the issue of movement of the cover from wind, and it rubbing on the paintwork.

 

Is there something particularly special about this one Chris, that we're missing?

[ChrisRs]

Come on!!! Lol
You must know that I would research this well before buying
It's quadruple lined and has a soft lining and will not scratch a clean dirt free car
Other 5 owners have also confirmed that it hasn't scratched either

Also took the opportunity to clean and dress the wheel arch liners and the engine bay
