car looks like its had a lot of TLC by someone who cares, that engine bay is well clean. Bit more that just spit and polish mind you as top mounts look like they are nearly brand new as well. :D

Hope you enjoy it mate and it was a good drive home.  To put peoples minds at rest, the plastic bag on the roof was to stop the rain getting in whilst I had the sunroof surround taken out and painted as it had some corrosion on it and the yellow wire was from the modified head light loom prior to reconnecting it.  All above board and not masking any 'horrors'.  

Should do you proud for some time to come as I replaced pretty much everything there is to replace!!

Enjoy mate!!

It was flapping about in the road, someone had hit it before me and there was a car at the side of the road trying to stop the traffic.  After hitting it I turned the car around further down the road, the cat and car had gone but half my splitter was on the road.  Went past and turned around to pick it up but it had dissapeared??? :dontknow:   Went for the Golf C splitter after that episode…it was always a pain on the speed bumps!!!
