Should've dewipered it! ;) Hope you put the arm back on with lots of copper grease.
Out of interest why didn't you just get some back to black?

Nope, no copper grease :(

Because i'd back to blacked it a few times, and it just slowly fades again. The part was £5 and it was relatively easy to do. Freshly painted spoiler and the wiper cover should tidy the back up nicely!

I'd get it popped back off and get some copper grease on it mate. Should make it lots easier next time as they easily rust/seize on again. I know you have the tool now but still.
Fair play on the back-black. I've been looking into getting some of the more expensive stuff but you get like 30ml for £30! Crazy. It seems to be the only thing that works though.

Yeah spoiler should look ace. Look forward to seeing it on.

Put a microfibre under the lip, or do it with the lid down and screw it up from the inside. Get an extra pair of hands as it really helps.

Spoiler still isnt back from the painters, grr, over a week.

Nothing exciting.. fitted a new pollen filter as recommended by @Louis' - as usual though, I broke something. The little plastic pop screw thing which holds down the scuttle wouldnt go back in and snapped.. any one have any spare?

Cheers mate!

Also bought some of this wax, courtesy of @ADS_V6 - rated quite highly on detailing world! Will try it out in a couple of weeks. Strangely looking forward to a good polish and wax.. dont think it has been washed since the end of October!

Just realised you've had this 4 years!

Good effort pal!

When I first met my wife she had a Flamer... It's part of the reason I have mine now... I absolutely loved that car... (Pre private plate)

That looks smart mate!

Yeah, just ticked over 4 years. No idea how I afforded the insurance just before my 19th birthday! Strangely enjoy the car just as much as I did when I got it. Can't see me selling it either as it's a great little reliable car (touch wood).

That like was for your bird, not the seats ;)

In seriousness, I've just put Recaros in mine, they don't seem as supportive as the standard seats but the look ace.

Haha cheers mate.

Yeah I can see what you mean. Worth it for the looks though.

They're in mint condition though, very happy with them.

If you've got the money/if Jon still does them, I'd recommend the lowered frames from @JON FOZ.

I got both his standard height ones and lowered ones and the lowered ones make the driving position so much better.
