Thanks for the positive comments guys - I appreciate it. :)

I used a brush mainly and a trigger spray gun thing. It was a simple job but a bit messy. The dye was about £23 delivered from e-bay. You just spray/paint it on and leave 24hrs to dry. It's a really good product and I plan to use it again to do the carpet in the TWR.

Well it rained yesterday afternoon and for most of the night. In fact, it pissed down.

Today, I have nice dry carpets! :D

Now, I don't want to get carried away but it looks like I might have cured that bloody leak!

Finally got round to fitting my new head unit today and as I didn't want to drill a hole for an aerial I bought a Blaupunkt window jobbie. It was a bit pricey but seems to pick up a good signal.

Decent head unit although having trouble pairing my i-phone with Bluetooth. Anyone got any idea what the problem might be please?

Wash it weekly and wax it each month or two. Its my daily driver and I like driving it too much to just stick it in a garage or driveway.

Decided to take the Motorsport steering wheel off and give it a bit of a refurb'. The leather is a bit dry and needs feeding before it cracks. Anyway, I thought I'd fit this and see how it feels? I think I need to swap the horn push for a BMW one though.

Put away a few panels that have come my way too. Just in case the worst ever happens.

Managed to get another set of alloys so I can keep the split rims away from the winter roads / salt etc. Picked up a cheap set of 7x15 Ronal Turbo's. 8)

Time to get the elbow grease out and decide on how they should look?

ECHOOOO ECHOO lol

forget polishing them and all that crap. just send em to the refubishers and have them powder coat them bright silver, all one colour, and then get some black paint and then colour the lettering only.
