Birthday clean
Well its my birthday today and considering had piss up the other week for it and going for meal tonight with my rents i decided to give my car a clean,first time in bout 6-7months and now im in love with it again. jsut had a basic 2 bucket wash for now ill polish and clay it tomorrow as well as cleaning the inside...
cant recommend the 2 bucket method strong enough for those that dont...this is the result of the bucket used for rinsing the sponge before putting back into wash bucket..
now a bit pic whoring,i havent driven to any nice location cause ive re sealed my top elbow to try and get rid of my boost leak
finally put engine cover back on after trimming it down
And my mascot Bertie
yes you can probs see some swirl marks etc but im pleased after a good wash
comment and criticise as normal

Re: Birthday clean
some better pics of the splitter
looking at the 2nd pic looks like the intercooler has dropped an inch for some reason,will sort that out soon enough
took it for a blast and the boost leak is now sorted run it in for a few weeks then chuck the new map on (reduced torque)
