Painted the grill

New Ferrari side badges fitted. Got them off the bay at £9 for a pair look quite swish if a little small but they work quite well I think.

Link in case anyone fancies a pair

Today I spent a couple of hours on the Monza exhaust tips.... half a tube of Autosol later, the results before and after!

Now apply a decent sealant to make the next time easier

Never thought of that... what do you recommend?

Any sealant really, I use either Britemax Extreme Elements or you could look at some of the ceramic coatings (GTechniq/CQuartz DLUX for example). Waxes don't last on them.

Gtechniq C5 wheel armour nano coating, very hard wearing and heat resistant!

Gave it a bloody good clean. Took the wheels off and cleaned them inside and out , cleaned the big red Brembos.
Looking lovely again.

Ashamed to say 'ignored it'. Predicted rain fell so decision not to go for a full valet was right however there's still a need to get the cleaning products out soon.

fitted a new HD dashcam - already come in useful the last few days...there are some idiots about!

Which dash cam, how easy to fit was it, and how discreet on the dash area is it?
Too many questions I know, but I would like to know.

XSR play time... Fitted the ally oil cap. Added a subtle nod to 'Yamaha' with a sticker or two. First polish: Autoglym base coat with Dr Beasley carnauba top coat. Wheels and windows tomorrow 'cause it's now beer o'clock.

And another massive post-purchase addition... fitted a pair of Team Heko deflectors. Always resisted on past cars but rather pleased with the look now I've done it. A
