Fixed my sideskirts back onto the car after a garage didn't load it onto the lift properly, as it raised up it hit the skirts before the chassis :mad:

Just went to get my lunch out of it and spotted someone has keyed the passenger side from rear light to under the passenger door handle. Not amused as I think it was today as it still had the little flakes.

The thing is stupidly dirty right now, already had a small key mark on that side and generally looking uncared for so I don't get the thought other than they must think I'm a ****.

They have zero respect. Probably don't have a car themselves otherwise they would realise YOU DON'T **** WITH ANOTHER MAN'S VEHICLE

Insured it. Free modifications up to 180bhp (My brakes and cosmetic mods weren't charged for and future ones won't even have an administration charge!) , track day and key cover, unlimited mileage and 350 excess for just over 600,quite pleased with that

Car is at the dealer now for Service and MOT.

They called me to tell me that the brake pads, caliper/disc is sticking...i know, i told them the squeaking when drive off from cold...so they are going to take it off and clean it

I drove my car through a big ass puddle (more like a fjord!) At 40mph because I couldn't drive around it. Sorry car.

But other than that i have washed and hoovered my car to clean the Day Trip Crap that has been accumilating in it for a while.

The 330 has been spoilt today. Started by fitting some new Bosch Aerotwin wiper blades. Then moved onto the interior and cleaned and conditioned the leather which looks so much better for it.

Then moved back outside again and washed and waxed the exterior while removing a few little scuff marks on the paint. Also found that the Autoglym leather conditioner I was using makes a good alternative to Back to Black so attacked all the exterior plastics, which were looking in a bit faded in places.

She's looking even better now than when I picked her up last week:
