Rooose Posted May 29, 2021 Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 Had my MOT today too. Flew through no issues then took it for a proper blast for the first time in a while and reminded myself why I love the car so much. Roof down, PSE singing away, it just doesnt get any better! these cars are just brilliant, always an occasion and so, so much fun! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought a couple of those super-absorbent drying cloths which are excellent. Those and Wheel Woolies by far my favourite bits of cleaning kit of late. FFS. The fact I now have favourite car cleaning items depresses me, I used to be mildly more interesting! 😢😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheel woolies are great, you wait it will be addicted, you will need to be with a black car. Get one of those cheap pet driers and you wont have to hardly touch the paintwork, there are levels and once you get one of those there really is no going back lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s ceramic coated so the water just runs off. I’ve never hand dried the car the same as my motorcycle. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davidbf1.com Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Finally, refitted my sun visors. Retrimmed in Alcantara with Carmine Red twin stitching to match much of the rest of the GTS-option Interior. shout out to Hawkes Autoworks for a superb job. I’ve had them back for about 7 months, but only installed them on Friday. Really happy with the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikaner Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 They look OEM almost especially with the matching red stitching. My 981 S has full black leather so maybe re-trim in black leather is going a bit far but the Alcantara works for sure. I am looking for a phone mount and see you have one on your passenger vent. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you say the car was driving fine with no noises? It must be very early stages of going, which is a good thing but still annoying. How many miles are on your car, as I don’t think I’m heard of a drive shaft needing replacement on a 981 before. Hopefully the Cayenne is fine and there are no more nasty surprises for you 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
