February Update...
Well, February has been great... NOT!!
Well, it has for the Clio, but not the Superb!!
On the 11th I hit a crater and I got taken to the unit like this...
With be total honesty, the recovery lad was bloody quick to arrive.
I’d reported the puncture at 02:55am
I then got recovered to the unit in the next town, changed to my full size spare myself and then driven home by 04:30 that morning.
Here’s the crater :rage:
Believe it or not, I travel this road to and from work EVERYDAY...
This hole was filled in 3 days before this photo.
Whilst I was taking this photo, A lady came out to me and told me that they’d only filled the hole in 5 nights ago and that the workmen had used their van to ‘roll in’ the tarmac 😂
We then had a. Assive freeze and a quick thaw and it ended up like this very quickly.
Then.... exactly two weeks later... no photos with this one... but I hit a huge ‘item’ in the road, drivers side this time!
So, this month has now been eaten up with tyres for the Superb!!
That said, I’ve done a few things with the car this month.
Firstly, I cut the N/S headlamp out so I could make my budget blank.
I’ve not cut the holes yet as a mate of mine has the hole saw/drill bits
That’ll happen this week, then paint
I’ve also had the interior loom back out, wrapped it up in electrical tape, something I DID NOT want to do.
The non sticky “Loom tape” that you can buy, is really expensive.
You’ll also see that I’ve sprayed the top of the dash with a dusting of black paint.
This should hopefully dull down any glare from shiny bits.
Loom is now back in
I’ve also received my powerflex exhaust mount insert, more on this in the next update, plus camber bolts.
I bought the camber bolts as an impulse and I’ve no idea if I’ve bought the correct ones or not
Please advise if not.
Last but not least... my door card set arrived last week
Whilst I’m rather happy with the way they look, for £130 I guess I expected them to be slightly better quality.
I married up the drivers side and it needs fettling to get it to sit right, also I still need to purchase the door latch extensions, something that doesn’t come with the kit, but is needed to make them fit snug I should think, something I wasn’t aware of.
However, they come with a comprehensive set of DESTRUCTIONS 😂
Once they’re fitted I may have a different verdict, I hope so
Well, later this evening I SHOULD get down there to get these fully fitted, but for now... it’s bed time
:smile:
Thanks for looking
