No just the standard stuff. That picture was taken in February just after i took the cover off to clean it ready for the spring and also because i was having my drive re-done with block paving.
Block paving done and calipers painted.

Thanks. I think the gloss is less intense than yours. My wife’s car has been ceramic coated (Mazda2) and i am doing a comparison (non scientific) to see which is better overall.

Love the wheels - they’ve recently made it onto my list of future buys… what size tyres did you get on them?
Thanks, its literally taken me years to decide on a set after having upgraded pretty much everything else on the car.
I debated for a long time between 17x7, 17x8, 17x9 and which tyres. At the moment I’ve stuck to (17x8) with 215/45/17 but in future may change to 235/40/17 AD08Rs, but choice in 235/40/17 is extremely limited, so you either go semi-slick or pay £300 a tyre for example.
I’m very happy with my choice though and it rides much nicer than it did with the stock wheels and spacers.

Cheers - just starting down the path, so probably suspension will come first, but kind of loving the idea of these in bronze.
Up on t’moors above Barlow in Derbyshire.
Dodging the rain.
Lathkilldale near Bakewell in Derbyshire. The rain is getting closer and there’s a rumble of thunder in the distance.

Lovely car, set off by the beautiful Derbyshire scenery, which I know very well.
Taken by one of our group on a trip we have just returned from, the water splash is in Biggar, Lanarkshire.
Edit, just washed it this morning after the trip, including full underbody as we encountered a salted road along the Lang Whang… overnights are getting colder!

After 440 miles the view was…
…wet. Between the Devils Elbow and Glenshee Ski Centre on the way to Dufftown.
Wondering if this was the longest run it had in 5 years and possibly its highest altitude?
Later in the week it stopped raining long enough to fold the lid. Near Auchindoun Castle.

Did a sign say “stop if it’s notpissindoun”? 
Lovely car by the way.
Didn’t see one probably due the spray from the bow waves!!!

1st mod, get that aerial pole changed for one from an NA . 2nd mod, get an RS Limited sticker made up for the passenger side wing as an homage to my RS Limited (BBS wheels, Recaro seats, Bilstein dampers, “blue” paint, 30 years apart. Just a shame that it’s got the wrong type of roof). 3rd mod, Roadie LED strip light.

Hate to admit it, but that colour is definitely growing on me.
