I'm feeling a change on the horizon. I can hear an XFR calling my name! :hidesbehi

If I was to keep it, which I still might, I'll be getting the colour coded trim redone soon! They are really starting to flake badly, and it totally ruins the rest of the car.

The eagle eyed amongst you will notice I've caught the ££££ing splitter on a curb! :slap:

Looking good mate, but the above photo is an OCD sufferers nightmare. ;)

Lovely car and nice work in the main :) The only thing I would advise caution on is using WD40 on rubber hoses and plastics, even though I know loads of people do. One of the main elements of it is petroleum distillate based so stands a good chance of damaging or effecting things like gaskets over time. I know it's easy to use and 'shiny' but I have seen first hand instances where WD40 has damaged rubber hoses causing them to develop weak spots & swell when pressure builds.

You can buy relatively cheap products like Car-Chem Rubber and Trim Wax or Aerospace 303 that are ideal for your engine bay plastics and perfectly safe too. I hope you don't mind me chipping in but I'd hate to read that you later have a problem and I'd read the above and kept my mouth shut.
