Old:
Old v's new
And fitted:
And 13 months MOT with no advisories :)
This also came in while I was there - sounded flipping awesome:
Not sure what...
That wing is a replacement wing - I know as the only mark on the car was a small mark on top of the original wing when I saw it a couple of months ago and the previous owner therefore changed it recently.
Keep an eye out on eBay for a wing, they come up quite often and are about £50.
As for the...
Great looking valvers :) had a couple myself and nearly bought one last year in xeros grey but had a respray which wasn't perfect - shame as it was a low mileage motor in great history.
Yes all the small details really do add up and satisfies my ocd;)
Centre console is already gone to the tip, lol. But yes hot gun work well on small marks. Did the glove box lid on my last RB 182 as it had a few light scratches and came up lovely.

Tidied up my speaker cables as spotted these on eBay so I could keep the original...
Black for me - will tame it down :wink:
I would also have the wheels black with some tiny yellow details on them - possibly yellow speedline rim stickers.

Great update :)

After doing the rear brakes it was time to tackle the fronts as a little low.
New parts bought. Genuine brand new discs courtesy of @Matt e brembo pads, new fitting kit:
Time to start removing - the pins can be nightmare to remove but I was lucky and they dropped out on both...
Thanks, yes they're from eBay - a company from Thailand doing them.

Following on from my trip to South Wales in December for the photo shoot and the magazine is now on the shelves :)
A great write up for the Meggy :)
Thanks buddy :)
It was and still is (I saw it just before Xmas) an immaculate car.
I did have a chance of buying it back a couple of weeks ago and was really really tempted but I think I would be divorced, lol.
Wants for nothing - great car.
