Have done about 350 miles without them on, so not huge build up in there, but once lockdown eased and I’m back out in it.... woudl ideally like to take the front bumper off and I’m sure I’ll find loads more debris, but just lacking a bit of confidence to do that despite some very good how-to guides on YouTube etc. Would prefer to wait and probably get some help, once restrictions lifted. Phew! Thanks David I thought for second some of that detritus had bypassed the grills!! I know what you mean about removing the front bumper, if and when I do it I'll enlist the help of some of the guys on here who have done it before!

Davidbf1.com Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 My thoughts exactly the same John, don’t want to feck it up by simply not releasing a didn’t know is there etc. having seen all the cr*p that @Toeside dropped out once he removed his bumper, I know there will still be quite a bit unseen, but at least I’ve cleared what was there at the front, before the grilles went back on.

Patt Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Not difficult to do on your own. There is a video of how to remove all the trim linked in Daz05's video. The funk plastics slide rather than pop. Ohh and a c-clip at the top of each side that took me a while to find (not present of earlier cars) that makes refitting a perfect fit each time.

Patt Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 I have tinted my high level brake light and cleaned and treated the external plastics this weekend. Before: After Will have to wait to check night illumination is safe (need someone to press pedal) however only a 25% tint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patt Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Pedal too stiff. Last time I needed to check I had a clutch pedal to lever against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_L Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 If I recall I “won” 1000 PY for £2,300 plus fees which equates to just over £3,000. 1000 NY went for £2,800 plus fees at the next auction but I decided I’d already been too frivolous with my number plate purchases.
