Bit of an update then guys, just had a week off work so thought id get some bits n pieces sorted out :)

I have had an abcess on my leg so walking has been a right bitch, n the work ive had done is stuff that I couldn't really do myself anyways...

First up, with my car due to be detailed by my mate Mike, at Crystal Clear Detailing, I decided to take the car down to his unit in Crewe, and he inspected the paint work, so we knew where we'd stand when he gets the car for paintwork correction.


At the same time I decided to apply my new 10mm spacers to the front, giving enough clearance between the coilover and inner wheel to lower the car to its lowest point. I could then take the car to PSI for 4 wheel alignment, as it was driving shite before!



I also clocked up a pretty cool milage on the way and took a quick snap at the traffic lights ;)

                                      

Then, with my wheels aligned, and a practically bald F/N/S tyre, I decided i'd treat the car to some new rubber, and Toyo Proxes were the choice of the day. A bit of ringing around helped me bag 195/40/16's at £60 per tyre including fitting! Winner!


And with all that, she's driving like a dream! (Talk about driving on rails! :O ) She's also looking a little lower, and sits a lot better than before :)

With a couple of dry spots this week, I thought Id clean, protect and seal the fabric roof too, just to prevent it sucking up too much water when it rains in the future. It doesn't have any problems with leaking but I don't want it too have any in the future!

AutoGlym Fabric Hood protector was the product of choice just as an amateur trail and I'm actually really happy with the results! The roof came out a lot blacker than before, with no marks or streaks, and it repels water like a ducks arse!


Hope you like!

P.S. all the photos are taken with my 2MP iPhone 3G camera. Roll on June 24th and I'll be taking crystal clear HD photos and videos :D
