Jump started my car using a mini jump starter battery.

Had no idea these things existed until the other day. Amazing piece of kit that will now reside in the glovebox!

Enforced day off due to the weather, though the local scrapyard is always open. So managed to pillage the P1 boot safety belt, clips and net, including the boot lining. So will drop it off at the dry cleaners tomorrow and all will be ready to fit by the weekend
Also managed to remove a P1 front bumper lip, that`ll replace my p2 front lip

I agree! You have the best combo imo of sport lux with piano black inserts and just looks so right on your car. However it will be interesting to see the results after you have 'scratched the itch'. I suspect the bumper profiles are completely different so will result in a fair amount of bodging. The mountings underneath are completely different between the phases.
