Really .....

Never have seen the attraction for those wheels over the standard 11 spokes personally .... but hey .... if we were all the same .... blah blah ....

Love the look of a Red ZS with graphite wheels.

Yeah i suppose each to their own, ill be doing the wheels the same colour as they have a slight glitter effect when in the light.

also just topped up coolant with water 500ml's, nothing major but considering Ive done 1500 miles since last checking, I thought I best keep an eye on it. grand scheme of things its at a rating of 2/10 for concerning me

[talkingcars]

500ml as in half a litre - that sounds quite a bit to me and should have triggered the low level warning.

[hansligg]

No lights were triggered, i dont think ive ever seen the coolant light come on in fact. It does when starting the car up then goes off as usual

When the low level light comes on in mine it takes about 500ml to take it up to Max

It might have just been above that line then. the 500ml's did take it just over the max line

Just a little (pic heavy) update of my 180 over the last couple of months:

Had a new clutch plate and repaired the Bracket, due to be fitted with Sheddist clutch when I can source funds.

Now all mechanical issues have been dealt with, I decided to attack the body, more specifically the imperfections and first on my list was the scuff on the front bumper where I dinged a car at traffic lights,

Front bumper respray along with full machine polish removing swirls and all light scratchings:

I then decided to change the alloy wheel colours as they were looking old, tired and scuffed to high heaven!

This all happened within a week, the Alloy wheel colour will be much like love or hate but ill leave it here:

Whilst the alloys were being refurbished, i decided to go the full hog and get light tints on the rears to add to the look I was going for. the next plan is to add the same tints to the fronts, subtle yet effective.

Next little modification was purchasing a set of these charver-looking rear aftermarket lights:

decided to go with red tint spray but blanking off the indicators and reverse lights, hoping it all turned out as standard as possible without looking charver-ish:

Turned out they look pretty good and very much a one-off:

Fitted them to the car but after a little struggle with bolts as they had rusted on:

Now for the Valeting from Maximus Valeting, took him all Sunday but now i have a finished product apart from front tints. I got the car back, new alloys, tints and freshly machine polished to within an inch of its life, I gave it the whole hog of wash, wax, sealant and inside and out thorough clean from Maximus Valeting £50 I cant complain.
