What did you do to your car today?

After seeing a few interesting threads popping up lately, i got to thinking what i could contribute. Ive seen threads like this on other forums and its always interesting.

As the title says, what did you do to your car today? Anything from washing it, detailing, changing wheels, servicing, mods, mapping, anything at all. If you spent time at it, tell us about it. Oh, and pictures as much as possible to keep it interesting and for proof of your hard labour.
 
:lolpoint:

as for me
took front bumper indicators out
now going to get the wife to try and put the gunsmoke tint i purchased on them
i would do it myself but dont have the patience for it :comp26:
also trying to figure out how to wire up my new gauges and pod
deciding wether i should leave on the small rear spoiler or change
wondering would carbon wrap look good on the black plastics on the sills and rear bumper
have decided to make some mods on the interior in the future :thumbsup:
 
That just means you didnt drink enough Robbie, or you getting old! :icon_pidu:

Lucky you that the woman will help you with it instead of giving out your always at it yourself :icon_blahblah:

Any pics of the progress??
 
Washed the flies off the windscreen before driving from Donegal to Dublin.
I'll give it a proper wash now tomorrow after work
 
Wash, dry and Wax.

Good outside cleaning as it was not nice to look at so now she's all clean and Shiny. Need to clean the inside now as Ethan has had his own way with the back seat for far to long. :icon_eyes:
 
Just drove it.
It's getting a full wash inside and out this week.
New front splitter going on too this week coming.
 
Just drove it but had to overtake a car with a trailer down a backroad so had to floor it to get around it and the girlfriend wasnt expecting it..She nearly got sick and called me a dickhead a few times lol :subaru:
 
It didn't even get unlocked today!
But in the past month it's had new rear drop links, amp wired up, fresh oil service including diff and gear box
Windows tinted, change of wheels!!!

In the next 2 weeks it's getting (fingers crossed) a turbo upgrade, change of ecu, possibly front mount
After that I'll concentrate on suspension upgrades and arb upgrades
 
ended up doing it myself as I couldnt wait for her to finish what she was doing
have to say the stuff was real easy to work with
Thanks to Nic Spec C for the link to where to get the stuff
its quality gear alright :thumbsup:
just used a hair dryer and pilled around the corners
couldnt get a good pic as its of the phone
toook the things below the indicators out so going to spray them black in the morning in work
:subaru:

What's up with it??
 
I looked at mine out the window and wished it didnt cost as much as it does to have it :wall:
Dont use it much at the weekends anymore and washed it for the first time last week since
the AGM... :icon_redface:
 
Just drove mine to my football match then into town to collect the other half. :dontknow:

Usually would get a full clean but weather all weekend was sh1t so didnt bother so will tomorrow after work. :icon_grin:

Alan you disgust me. You should be given her some tlc every week. :icon_grin:
 
I put in a second fan for air con. Such a small job turned out to be proper awkward.
Also put in a pollen filter. The car never had one for some reason. Only the turbos got them. :ponder2:

That's funny, I was thinking that myself today. The one I have is broken and it temporarily glued together until I sort out something else.
 
went as far as the shop , but in past two weeks have double-din half fitted , front windows tinted (light smoke) and finally got my prosrort gauges fitted , so im happy out for the min :clap:
