Put on some german font plates without the 0 cutout. Also wanted to clean the exhaust tips as when I got the car they were pitch black. Used some autosol, steel wool and a microfibre. 90% better than it was but will take a bit more elbow grease to get it 100%.

Also used some IronX. Brake dust particles shows all over white cars and alot of it wouldnt come off with claybar as it was probably there for so long.

The exhaust gaskets & the rocker cover gaskets on my car where both perished so I finally got around to pulling off the headers & scraping away all the old gasket & replacing with brand new ones
The old gasket was really bad.. just fell apart

Spent the day detailing nursing a hangover...first and last time I'm ever doing that.. Some difference to the look of the car..feckin nackered.
Heres a taster of whats to come.

I think it's generally a good idea to have the same tyre on each side.
Enduro
Maxxis
Could be way worse.
Not to mention that having two different tyre types (Radial, Assymetric etc) on the same axle is a fail for the NCT.
It's a while before the NCT is due.
I will match up as soon as i have the money.0 -

Even if tyres look similar(which they don't IMO), it means nothing about how matched they are in terms of grip/performance etc0 -

As promised...
A tough enough job todo but worth it IMO! Nearly died when I thought I burnt through the clearcoat, thankfully it was only a build up of polish....lesson learned concentration is needed when DAing the car!
Car is completely transformed with the bumper done..my neoghbour came out and told me it was looking well! I've a dilema with the bumper lip, the paint is chipped to feck one side and thinking of wrapping it in carbon fibre..let me know what you thinK?
Plate surround taken off to polish easier (need a new plate as well, old one is bent)
I recommend getting a creeper for the low panels - I already had this..
this
No not an oil change - this was all the dirt that came off the bumper!

I noticed straight away the maxxis is quieter and has way grip than the enduro.
Seriously impressed with the maxxis for the price i paid.
The Runway enduro's are beyond rubbish.
This was how the last set I had ended up after the only worthwhile use I could find for them:P
