well yesterday I took out the front splash gards as they are F***ed, did some panel beatting to knock back the metal strip that runs down the back of the wheel arch, so it now will not hit on the wheel/tyre.
sprayed all the wheel arch black.
cleaned and polished the front rims

Washed car using High Pressure Water Jet... works wonders on mags and mud, only took me an hour instead of my regular 2.5
Took to a dent from a 4x4 mishap a couple weeks a go with a rubber mallet. fixed it right up
Sanded back area where paint had been moved from car to ground and sprayed with a clear coat to keep from rusting.
Maybe used a little too much spray... Oh well, better safe than sorry
I'll have an FTO one day... i swear!

***Changed the 2 lower engine mounts.
Results:
- Wheelspin is now more possible when shifting to 2nd straight after 1st gear at 7xxxRPM(or even in mivec range)
- Gear changing is a lot smoother now, used to feel a clang when footing the clutch after 1st gear or engaging 2nd.
***Also opened up my doors to grease up the rails where the window guides run in an attempt to slow down the wear.
***Put one of those sun mesh like shade visor things on my sunroof so whenever it is open(which i always love), the sun wont burn me.

Just because the group buy failed doesn't mean I cant buy a single one
