Repainted both rear wings and the rear bumper :)

Not a proffesional job but what you want from rattle cans and done on my driveway :y

Replaced the rear doorcards with non scratched type.... had to refurb them by chopping up MV6 doorcards and Elite doorcards :)




Checked oil and water since changing HG's and all good, could do with changing the oil and water though as they look to be a bit crappy TBH...


Does anyone have any way of cleaning the header/expansion tank.... besides buying a new one...

Have tried a while back , even with the most caustic of fluids it didnt make much difference to the colour  :(

Funnily enough, a Vauxhall van turned up outside my house this morning, and dropped off a new coolant bottle and some coolant, so the Bullet is now sporting a nice shiny one. That works.

I had to rearrange the garage (again) to get it in as it's a tad (nearly half a metre) longer than the M3 and ~15cm wider as well..
