Finally starting this thread. I don't tend to do much to the car as I don't have much time to spend on modding the car etc.
First thing when I got it was to give it a proper clean, being white it was full of tar spots and fall out. Once I'd got rid of these I clayed the whole car and the glass. Then gave the paint a clean with Werkstatt Prime and two layers of Werkstatt Acrylic Jett, you can't buy it anymore unfortunately but it looks really good on white in my opinion.
Sealed the wheels with some Zaino Clear Seal.
Also cleaned the seats with an extractor and some GTechniq triclean. The drivers seat was pretty dirty and also the rear passenger seat. Cleaned all the plastics with the tri clean and then finished them with Carlack Plastic Renew. Finally treated all the seats and mats with GTechniq i1 Smart Fabric.
The air con had no gas in it, so I've had that regassed. I've tried putting the battery on my trickle charger but I've not been able to get it to start charging for some reason so might get another. Luckily I do 70 miles a day in it but still wanted to give it a top up before winter gets here.
Mod wise, I've changed all the interior bulbs for LED and also the reverse bulbs. I'm just waiting for the number plate bulbs to arrive from China so should do that this weekend. Changed the Halogens for a London Colour 6k kit, but I may get some 5k bulbs as I feel there a little bit too blue. I've had the windows tinted at the rear and the car is running a Bluespark CR Tech 2 box.
HID bulbs. Seem more blue than usual due to the white balance on the camera
Took a photo after gym that is better metered.
Not much more planned for it now. Probably paint the calipers early next year when the weather warms up and do the hubs also.
