Correct that man! Bored the other day so decided to do it. Bloody awkward where it necks as it joins the adjusters, but pretty reasonable job.... Will probably do rear as well but take the bar itself off and leave fixings as they are more of a PITA to get to....

100% correct! Turbo XS that I have had for best part of a year. Easy fit in comparison to fitting the blanking plate on my S70 T5. All in, including trimming the IC to TB silicone hoses to get a perfect fit, about an hour and a half. It's quite discrete and nowhere near as loud as they are made out to be, though not had it at full boost as was in town on run home. We'll see.....

Doors done in CF
As above
Passenger door had been repaired at some point and was starting to bubble with rust so prepped that then did all 4 doors (lower portion, below rubbing strips. No bubbles (quality material, not the thin cheap stuff and a heat gun). |

As nice as they wheels are Grant it must be a bummer trying to keep them clean?

It's best to clean them couple of times a week, even if not doing whole car. Looking at getting a product to coat them with that will help. Need to touch up couple of chips, that are on INSIDE of visible part of rim, not spokes or the edge of the rim itself. No idea what could have caused that.....
