What have you done to your car today?

I did the dynomat and carpet on the parcel shelf last weekend but it makes very little difference to my ears. I think the majority of the road noise comes in from the rear window and hood.

It doesn't stop much road noise but it does stop the crappy thing rattling it's t*ts off until you go insane ! :thumbsup:

Went and collected a set of 224s for it for next summer - sadly not in it though. :(

I didn't fancy putting a wheel with a tyre on a Pearl Grey seat! :eek:

I bagged a MF wheel last week but it needed the plastics tarting up, so been busy doing them. I'm very happy with the finish. The leather is in great condition, just cleaned and fed it

I picked mine up after a few days away having some cosmetic updates - full paint correction and ceramic coating, plus fitment of my used Scorpion exhaust and TD Le Mans rims. Also had the rubber donut replaced on the propshaft and driveability is much improved even without CDV delete (that’s next!).

Annoying I lost a headlamp washer cover in the way to the detailers so that’s another job to add to the to-do list!

I'd defo stick with the FL headlights, going back to gingers would date the front end IMO.

MFSW in M flavour is a nice addition. :thumbsup:

If the plastics are tatty maybe you could replace with wood? :lol:

Not done much to my car recently.
This evening I replaced a broken rivet on a bracket in the engine bay and replaced a partially collapsed vac pipe.
I have started collecting parts for my winter project.

So far I have the Cruise Control loom, (Thanks Steve), a pair of Mad Monkey back boxes, and a Gruppe M (both acquired from departed forum member JAD) sitting in my garage waiting to be fitted.

I had an advisory last year on a track rod inner, but I'm not convinced so I need to check it and if it is faulty replace it.
