Didn't get much chance to work on her this weekend, just
Polished up the painted front bumper - not a great job, temp fix until i know what to do - replace or have painted professionally.
Installed new number plates
Gave her a good wash.
New rubber all round.As she will be used mainly by my gf, and only on short town trips, I wanted some 'economic' rubber to put on. In the end I had Roadstone N2000s which after some further reading, turn out to be pretty damn good. At £210 for the lot (tyres, fitting, valves and balance) Im pretty happy. They look quite nice too..
Will update as they wear in with progress on grip, feel and wear.
