That's mighty clean.

 

What's the consensus on losing the under-bonnet fluff. Much NVH change, or should I just doit ?

Get rid of it. They destroy engine bays in the event of a fire.

They look a billion times better without it. Bugger all noise :)

Engine bay looks good.

I haven't had one for like 2 years so NFI what the difference is. Plus low profile tyres, and coil overs would mean the Nvh would be negligible in my case :P


I used cut and polish. So it's forking smooth and shiny as well as clean :D

Tempted to spray it with a gun.

Would need too many cans to get a finish I would be happy with.

Was your bonnet white?


I like to think of it as borrowing someone's car and driving it better than them.

All good!

Though I found that the cause of that bit has something to do with a dent repair (bog or some shit)

I'm not sure what bug I've caught :) just trying to bring my car back up to scratch after being a 700km+ a week daily. I now only do about 100km a week so hopefully it will stay a bit cleaner.

Unfortunately there's a tonne if stone chips. But hopefully they can get sorted all in due time.

There's a pretty good list if mechanical stuff I want to get sorted first as time and budget allows.
