Refurbished my alloys ready for winter
Sanded, 4 coats of anthracite and 2 coats of 2k lacquer
Refitted to test balancing and all is well
A very satisfying day to get them looking mint
And as i had a can of spray left i did the D4 side grill upgrade to match!

First day off since I collected my D4:
Today - removed panel around gear selector, re-routed iPod / usb cable socket out of cubby box.
Connected LR iPod cable to 30pin iPod extension to 30 pin to lightning adapter.
Fitted Brodit ProClip and iPhone 6S holder.
Result: put iPhone in holder - charges and music with touch screen and steering controls.
Happy Dave 8)
Today I finally decided it was time to replace both the drivers seat base and back foam, a good job well done, makes a massive difference Altox GSM FBH controller thread

Today I noticed that the nearside sidestep aluminium trim has been scratched and dented from the front to half way down. Got into bad mood as suspected it was tyre fitters who replaced two tyres last week until played back the dash cam only to find nothing untoward.
