Ordered myself a touchup paint kit and some bumper repair stuff so I can sort out the scar in my rear bumper and all the other little scratches on my car. After that I can give it all a nice clean and it should start to look a little more looked-after!
Little steps but at least its getting there slowly! I really want to clean my engine as well but I don't want to break anything and I am really not sure where to start as its all so grimey!
Not sure what to do about all the bits that have rusted as well - I shall post some pics up soon (as I keep promising!) of what is rusted! I might have to replace each bit which is not going to be fun!

Wipers
After reading some recommendations of wiper blades on http://www.club323f.com I decided to get myself a pair of PIAA wipers for my front windscreen. My old wiper blades did more smearing that clearing which meant that I tried to use them as little as possible as they tended to decrease visibility in the few seconds after using them!
I fitted them yesterday and its not rained .... yet .... so I will do a proper write up when I have had a chance to use them in anger!

Well ...
I have fitted a K&N panel filter into the factory airbox the other day. Didn't seem to make too much difference, but then again it never was going to as its not an induction kit! Might be a bit smoother or it could just be the placebo effect of having bought something new! ;)
Just ordered myself some new wipers, hopefully they will last me a while as I decided to get some reasonable ones as you need good wipers this summer in the UK. My current ones are rubbish to the point where I try to use them as little as possible as they smear rather than wipe which doesn't tend to help visibility ....
Next up I need to sort the scratches and scuffs on the paintwork.
