Got my radio unlocked.

Now just need to decide whether I want £100 back in my pocket, or my head unit to be able to play MP3s off a USB stick. Decisions, decisions.

Just took delivery off an alloy wheel I bought of fleabay. Now got 4 wheels ready for my winter tyres to go on.

Question is do I just go ahead and fit them or get the alloys repaired/repainted/powder coated while the tyres are off and use them for my summer tyres instead?

Fitted my new grill at the weekend, I think it gives it a far meaner look.

Before:



After:



Next thing is to get some new tyre's and get the other wheels on there as i think we have a track day looming.

Drove it to the petrol station and then drove it home. As ever, a pleasure.

Collected the car from the paint shop.

No stonechips or scratches on the bonnet any more and the splitter is now minus its missing paint.

£200 later, car looks great.
