Finally, after more than a year, I got around to painting my Cup Edition bumper. Here's a quick sneak peak whilst the bumper is being flatted.

I gave everything a good clean last night, the amount of dust etc. that came out from between the fins of the SMIC was quite incredible.

New aircon condenser installed. Ready to fit the bumper.





Three weeks ago, my battery finally started to give in - after 7yrs, my OEM Varta has served me well. So I replaced it with another Varta - very very happy.

Then, two weeks ago, my front pads decided to let go, so it was time to replace the discs and pads.

This past weekend was spent searching for the minute aircon leak I had. This week we found it, turned out that the only place we didn't check was the dryer, under the black cap. There was some corrosion and after battling a little to get the circlip out, I was told that it's not uncommon for them to develop a leak there.

I decided to replace the condenser with the new screw type dryer and not the circlip type, which I fitted last night. Tonight I plan to fit the bumper and will get the system re-gassed next week.

It's been an intense three weeks, with also having to sort out SamStaR's front discs and pads on her Polo.

It's been a busy month, with so much going on both with work, SamStaR's Polo and then Sooty's odds and ends too, but we finally made it - 2x car batteries, 2x front discs and pads, 1x condenser and re-gassing and a few odds and ends between, but we did make it.

Without the support and help from my SamStaR, it would've taken even longer.

Here's a quick shot I took last night on my iPhone, but I hope to give Sooty a bath soon and go snap some great ones soon.

Why no front mount??? Mine's sitting there waiting for me to fork out the money for piping.

Thanks mate.

It's sitting in it's box still. With all the other expenses that occurred all at once, with the fact I still need to sort out the pipework, it just wasn't possible to do the FMIC now. The time will come, have other priorities too of course.
