What did you do to your car today?

Had a great drive up the gap and back down into blessington, and over ballinascorney. Wet mucky and miserable out but it didn't matter.
 
It was the nicest car in the car park - until I parked beside it !!!!!

My mate also has a jdm bug .

Needed some tlc as off road for couple of years .

So yesterday we removed the "carbon fibre " light surrounds to reveal the mess . Then some toothpaste and a bit of scrubbing left a might impressive result. By no means erfect but a hell of a job imo

So went at the car last night, hadn't gone near it since the track day.
Gave her the full check over, top and bottom and all good.

Tyres were all at 16psi so sorted that.
Refitted the wheel arch liner, it's fairly fcuked and torn.
(Two new ones ordered this morning)

And then removed some more grass........... lovely and dry now.....
 
So much for silver wheels
Started chipping and now it's peeling off,so cheap plastic coating instead of being painted by previous owner
