?? now that’s funny

Last project for now. Spare bullets didn’t work as the filler kept sinking so sourced some Campus ones. Rubbed down, plastic primed then Ford graphite. Stickers stuck and satin laquered. Really pleased with how they’ve turned out - just how I wanted. Couple of interior bits next then just...

Sadly the c**t who hit her drove off leaving another motorist the unpleasant task of rushing her to the vet by which time she’d gone. Luckily he left his details so we were able to contact him to say thanks. Some comfort that someone have a toss in her final moments I guess.

Fitted the door sill plates and happy with how they’ve turned out. Sadly at the same time I was doing this, one of our cats was knocked over and killed about 400 yards from my garage. Had no idea until the vet called. Absolutely gutted. Sleep well Poppy ?

Should be able to make this. Be good to meet some of you gents.

Bloody good idea ?

90 minutes each way for me with the added bonus of some great back roads for almost the entire journey. Ace Cafe is closer but takes about the same time unless you miss the traffic..

Kickplates v2. Much happier with these. Used a spare set I had locking about, removed the old style silver RS trim (just a big sticker), used some of the same vinyl as the dash trims and added some new style RS stickers. Couple of coats of 9H ceramic coating for a bit of protection and they’ll...

Private car gathering in Belgravia today. Clio stuck out like a sore thumb ? Met some proper petrolheads and the icing on the cake was a gent in a 488 telling me he loved the Clio as I headed out of town on the A4. Happy days!

Thanks gents! Sadly the sill plates may have gone slightly s**t. Bought some “PPF” on amazon and it went on ok but is drying like that funky Lamborghini carbnoado ? could be worse...

Wrapped my dash trims today. Made a tit of it last time but better quality vinyl and a bit of patience and happy days. Made up some new kick plates too - not 100% on these and still need finishing with some PPF before I decide whether to fit them. Smoothing a spare set of bullets next which...

Oh and put my plate on too. Mildly arrogant now after seeing some of the genuinely mint cars at the weekend but it’s on and she scrubs up ok.

Trip up to Caffeine & Machine last weekend. Third visit and even better at a weekend. If you haven’t been yet, we’ll worth the trip ? Renaultsport day hence the volume of cars there and the highlight for me was seeing Mark’s stunning RB in the metal - perfection. Journey back spoilt by the...

Got woken up by 6 year old at 6.30 today so read the entire post. I know exactly where the love for these things comes from - I’ve had mine for 5 minutes by comparison but intend keeping her forever. I won’t add to the bashing of specialists as it’s been done to death and back but your patience...

Been a bit quiet here lately. Rear wheels refurbed as they’d started flaking on the spokes and I managed to clip a kerb avoiding a van (honest..!) Coated and refitted and recoated the fronts while I was at it and also repainted the calipers as they were looking tired. Carbon Collective with...

Welcome to Blazingsmoke! Quite a few around here.

Ambasssor Carpets on eBay ?

Full length rear carpet added, bit of sound deadening beneath to make it slightly less noisy inside. 300 mile round trip to Caffeine & Machine, Perfectly Cleaned and Bicester Heritage averaging 36mpg. Next job is straightening out the jacking points, wiring up the spoiler stop light and clearing...

Productive day. Back seats removed and all belts. Few kilos off and not as noisy as I’d expected. Extended carpet ordered.
