You're not parting with it anytime soon are you?

Jury is still out at the moment. Depends on a lot of things like work and stuff. It is a lot of money tied up in something that gets used for about 3,000 miles a year

switched the PASM on and gave it some beans on the twisties on the way home.... combined with the Yokohama's it really does go round corners soooooooooooooo well!

@r1flyguy has one I believe

Made it super shiny.... gotta love a mirror reflection finish!

Sunny Bank Holiday Saturday at work... so what do you do? Give the car another coat of Nattys of course!

Check that reflection

Thank you, I will give that a go, its definitely better

Look into one of those re flocking kits , I’ve used several times and very effective 

You mean for the window seal? Funnily enough I did look at the cost of replacing it but the new part is over £900! How do they justify that!

Any links to the flocking kit mentioned?

Thanks! I think it is pretty much finished now 🤩

Picked it up last night after the wheels were refurbished. I was glad to give back the 1.0 litre Polo that did 0-60 in 11 seconds!

Washed it today and gave the tyres a bit of slick conditioning as they were looking a bit dull

Given the tyres a bit of slick bling after the wheels were refurbished

Picked it up from having its wheels refurbished

Was glad to give back the 1.0 litre VW Polo loan car... 0-60 in 10.8 seconds 😁

what do you use @Bike Loon as I am fettling mine for sale 😉

 

Any leather conditioner will do, I used the Simoniz one

Simoniz CONDITIONING LEATHER CLEANER 475ML | Euro Car Parts

Dunno about the 987.1 but on the 987.2 there is a switch on the underside of the wiper stalk to work the headlight washers instantly rather than wait for the 10th pull

You really aren't helping the stereo type 😂

As your “uncle” said to you all those years ago…

“don’t knock it till you have tried it 🤣”

if your car has a decent wax on it, it is a game changer ! 

Washed it and then tried out my new leaf blower drying system... worked really well! 👍

Umm I  just said its not green 🤓

How are your bolts

Just for @Mattman42 I think it might have been something in the photo. Went out this morning with the cleaning kit and scrubbing brush and all good

Now, about your rusty bolts 😆

crawling over broken glass 😆

Shhhh you, you do not get to pick holes until you have sorted your rusty wheel bolts I pointed out months ago

Leather all cleaned and conditioned this morning. All looking great for an 83,000 mile interior!

Yes, I know the floor has not been vacuumed, that gets done last!

Conditioned all the leather interior ( seats, centre console sides, handbrake, door panels, dashboard, arm rest).

I tend to do it every 6 month which not only cleans it but moisturises it and keeps it looking good and gives it protection from heat / cold / sun

Booked it in to get the wheels refurbished next week. Only minor kerbing on them but it annoys me!

That rules out Bike Loon then. 

Why? All the things on mine are factory options, not added after

Not my sort of thing though unless it was within 10 miles of me lol

Buy all 3, if you replace one I bet it’s brighter than the other older ones

No, I like triggering the purists #rebel
