Of course it did its garaged 8 months of the year haha!!

6 months ;)

Who's doing the refurb on the wheels for you mate? Could do with getting mine sorted as well!

Wanted Speedwells to do them but they took far far too long to get back to me and I lost patience with the lack of communication, so now they are going to Kilmarnock Powder Coating. Need them done ASAP and they are the only place that gave me a choice of golds....everyone else didn't have time or only had one shoddy looking gold.

 

KPC sent me to a local paint shop to choose from thousands of colour codes!

Thanks Dan.:thumbs:

 

Car is booked in to Automek tomorrow for a health check and vacuum leak smoke test prior to DB15.

 

Hopefully it's just a split hose. New boost controller solenoid seems to be around £70.

Once I got the car back I fitted my freshly refurbished BBS RGRs that I had fully ceramic polished by Mike The Polisher here in Glasgow.

Car was then booked into Automek for a full alignment and I enjoyed the car through the summer attending various shows.

As per the norm the car has been off the road over the winter and today I've taken delivery of a set of TopSecret SideSkirts that I'll get fitted and sprayed in the next month or two.:)

Interested in what a ceramic polish is when it's at home? Looks good whatever it is!

 

Westy will correct me if im wrong but the wheels were put into a vibrating vat filled with ceramic cones, the cones polish the surface over time, hours/days but leaves a cracking finish.

OEM is good but always wanted TS skirts mate so they will be getting fitted.

Exactly. Takes a good 3 days per wheel but you just can't get the same finish by hand polishing.

Loving it mate, kinda wished I held out for the heckler front side lights now.

They were bought for the 1A1 but after mock up fitting I thought they would suit this car better.:)
