I need to sort mine out too - the nearside one was new after I crashed about eight years ago, but the offside one is fogging as it's original.

Was that just a polish? I've seen guides where you have to sand and lacquer to make it last...

Wasn’t happy with the hose set up I previously made for my simplified brake servo vac. So went shopping for something suitable; ASH flexi hose with spiral wire reinforcement to stop kinks. Spot on for replacing the hard servo pipe.

Also fitted some dv/n75 hoses.

I got mine from nemesis' ebay store. Came in 2 days! My exhaust is very boomy so it was either a resonator or cat. Cat saves future MOT hassle and might just rid the drone, we'll see!
That's where I plan to get mine from.

Still keeping busy...drained my SMIC today via removing the wheel arch trim. 1/4 to 1/2 a cup of oil, not as bad as i expected. Drenched it in carb cleaner a long with the accompanying pipes and let it dry. Voila.

Not given the Freetrack a full clean since purchasing.
So today it was treated to:
Snow foam and rinse.
ph neutral wash and rinse.
AG magma iron remover and rinse.
Clay mitt all over.
Roof got a coating of Auto Finesse tripple.
All panels da polished with Koch Chemie 8-abrasive.
All panels da polished with Koch Chemie 3-fine.
Panels and trim coated with Poorboys white diamond and wipe.
Panels and trims coated in autoglym hd wax and buff.
For a 13 year old car it came up sparkling after 6 hours work.
First pic is how panels looked after the claying.
