Thought i'd start a thread, as I can imagine they'll be plenty of peeps who've taken advantage of good weather and had a spruce up.

I was shocked at the amount of stone chips and mini parking dents ive picked up over the winter as I only really washed it over the past few months. After a polish It looks like its been in the wars a bit.

Cheers Jay, wheels are on thier way once I get some new tyres for them. Im keeping the straights and yokohamas for any future track days.

Its an oil cooler sat in the mesh. I fabricated a couple of brackets and fitted it with unions connected so I can measure up for a bit of hosing, then fit it up with a thermostat. Ive had it kicking around and thought I may as well get it on the car. I also need a sandwich plate for it so I can hook up an oil temp guage at the same time. Bit of a work in progress.
