The jacking points are a bugger on this car but the SS wheels look fantastic especially with the Campo Grey! Worth the sealing and polishing too.
The cardigan, I'm not so sure

Thanks for all the nice comments guys.  The cardigan is mine, and I like it . Got it at River Island. We're having as low as 2 degrees celcius here at the moment so some knits are almost a necessity.

Regarding the cleaning I am preparing a massive session in two weeks time getting the winter protection on the car.  First it will get rust proofing on the underside at a Tuff Kote Dinol centre and then I'll do the paint and trim myself.  Got some new stuff from Gtechniq that is supposed to be good:  C1 Crystal Lacquer for the paint and C4 Permanent Trim Restorer for the black trim.  Will also use their P1 Nano Polish.  Expect more pictures

Going to London for a short week next Tuesday Will have to check out the flagship store.

Very cool pics   

Cdog are you going to use the P1 with your machine or by hand?, I just got some P1 and a couple of. Tri foam hand polishing pads,just need some spare time to try them out,so any feedback will be appreciated 

Going to use my DA polishing machine with the P1.

You are absolutely right.  Did it using a level.  So the sticker is level but the window isn't   It's hardly noticeable so I don't bother buying a new sticker

I have a sticker on my rear window, TMC's sticker, and the TMC letters are perfectly straight, but through some unknown force I managed to have the "www.tmcmotorsport.com" part slanting up quite badly, its pretty noticeable, and it drives me nuts, thats why I'm getting a replacement sticker made up this week, because I cant stand it Everyone says its not that bad, but I notice it, so it has to go!

Very nice car though, I've always been a fan of the grey/red combo, I'd definately rate it on par to the funk white I have on my SS

Got my GTT Cold Ram kit and shiny engine covers plus 695 style mats from TMC about a week ago.

Of course I wasted no time putting it on

I also got the silicone intake hose, but it seemed a bit fiddly so I'll save that for when I get my GTT 190 fitted this summmer (Hopefully)

I am sorry about the picture quality, but bad lighting an the iPhone is not a good combo.  Also had a bit of a rattle drom the CR kit when fitted and thanks to Nibor found that my mate who helped me fit it hadn't listened to the instructions and adjusted the oil filler neck.  A quick adjust and all was well

Here are the mats:  I have fitted some 695 badges I got on Ebay to them.









They look the dogs danglies IMHO, worth every penny

And the engine:

All parts placed on the dining room table for inventory



And after they were mounted  (edited out ebay sourced scorpion badge)









Some details:







Very happy with the mods.  Looks great and the induction kit does all that's advertised and gives a great sound.  Need to get a hole drilled in scuttle area next

Did you remove the top part and then drill the hole in the lower part?  Is it difficult to get the top part off.
