the extended life of the plugs is down to the precious metals used on the tips this is also why they are expensive to buy

Default A Little Cosmetic Addition

During yesterdays oil and filter change, whilst the oil was draining I decided to finally do something that I'd be wanting to do for ages.



A blue pinstripe for



The bottom edge of the front splitter.

Last day off today, so I washed the car (shock) as it was a bit dirty.

Just the one shot of the wash



Blue was then all dried off, tyres and windows done.





The pinstripe is quite subtle in my opinion and not overly visible. Got some closer pics











Quite happy with it. Hopefully it stays on/stuck for a good while.

That'll be it for a little while. Back to work tomorrow for 8 days straight and don't have any mods coming up and have just serviced it, so, yeah.

I like the stripe. It blends in nicely!

Lovely photos. Amazing scenery...

Thanks for sharing.
