Make sure ytou put plenty of vaseline on the threads of those metal valve caps otherwise when you come to remove them, you'll find it impossible.

Ok... well... I cleaned the roof and used the autoglym kit to waterproof it just before the octane day
I was happy with that
The we had a wet octane day which was great. Greasy slow and sideways
Roof down in the drizzle and it still let feck all into the cabin
So I booked it into icetronix to get the minor little scratch on the front bumper sprayed out as it has been niggling at me
That's next week. But this morning the car decided to remote start and drive into my house. No more minor scratch
I'm just glad I wasn't crushed as I was standing in front at the time. So it'll need a bit of love now

Hope it doesn't cost you too much to get fixed.

So a small bit of progress. All the bits ordered. The head light had to be bought as a pair & they are tinted. So I'll stripping the film backs.
The popped in to have a look at the car and it's been stripped
I'm getting a few other bits done while it's in there.

MIne is a viper and the safety switch is the handbrake so if its in gear and handbrake on it will remote start... not good but i got away with it the first time as i was only 1cm away from the brick wall!

Finished....
or so I thought
Sunny days are made for this
There was only one rusty bit annoying me. The vtec solenoid
So I got a cover for it... quick fix and a bit cleaner looking. It was supposed to be plain black with no writing. But for 6 quid I won't complain
So the car went back as the headlight fitment wasnt perfect and I noticed the paint had spiderwebbed at where the washer jets were. So they took it back and sorted it
Just have to give it a polish myself to make sure it's perfect.
Still have to go back and collect my spare bits from the shop though
