Default Treated Myself

Hello All.
Worked for Honda as a Salesmen for 6 Years (around 10 Years ago) and once I droveI an S2 back then I promised myself one at some stage. So I turned 50 this Year and what else was I gonna have? Just had a 2008 Roadster, Black with Black factory Standard. Like a kid with a New Toy. No doubt I will be pestering you all for advice. Job 1, Rear View Mirror re fitting!!

Congrats on the toy. Funny that you mention the mirror because that was the first thing I fixed on mine when I bought it. That thing rattled a ton until I replaced the stripped screw.

Thanks all for the comments. Spent £40 on new mirror bits and £163.00 on 'mats' believe it or not. This could get expensive! Lol.

Me too! But it was way, way back in the day when I was much closer to 50.

My advice - watch out for that black paint. It's soft, thin and easily damaged. I use a leaf blower to dry the car.

Thanks for the Advice.

I have a very good friend who is a pro valeter/detailer. It's going to him for paint test/treatment and paint seal as soon as he can fit me in. Oh and roof and wheels of course. Is there any where i can get wheel centre caps from they are £48.00 'Each' on average????? Only thing that spoils the overall look. Can I not get Chinese copies of these for a fraction of the cost??? You can seem to get every other Car?? Any help appreciated.
