What did you and your MK2 do today?

- Start date
Been to BCS this morning to get the Sport cat-back fitted (already had the downpipe and motorsport cat), amazing quality as always.
Hope it all works out for you mate.
So I washed the car this morning, removed some bird poop on the roof that appeared yesterday which left no marks and all was well.
Drove down to the Air Museum to watch the Vulcan fly past (which was awesome) was there for a few hours, return to the car and guess what.... yup poop all over the roof again.
Get home immediately attend to the poop. Soak it, blast it off with one of those spray bottles, give it another rinse to be sure, dry it and the poop has etched!!!
Throw some rapid detailer at it - marks still there...
Throw some SRP on it - marks still there...
Repeat a few times - marks still there.
Gutted!!
Warning to all, it took just a few hours to do that damage, through a layer of EGP too although that was a few washes ago.

Now had remap, egr delete from map also and new hot start map, so its no longer slow to start when engine is at temp. So much nicer. Would recommend it over guessing which part is causing the issue or spending money on a new starter etc. So many stories of people spending hundreds and still not solving it.
Sorry to hear about the poop. It must have been burned on or something. Maybe the marks will come off next time you give a polish. Don't rub to hard though sometimes does more harm than good

Sorry to hear about the poop issue mate, will probably need machine polishing to get the etching out. I've done a few for other people in the past with my machines.

That's always how it goes, something always happens just after a nice wash! Sorry to hear it mate
Anyhow, put some Fly Eye on my rear lights this afternoon, photos on my readers ride, and I'm having a really slow night shift at work, but I've managed to Fly Eye one of my headlights while I've been here, 2nd one should be done on my next break too
Looks lovely 
I feel your pain on the poop mate, our alfa has some etching from poop that was washed very quickly. That paintwork is so thin though.
Had a good chat with pat at LVS yesterday whislt picking up the car for minor service. Top bloke and lots of inspiration...

Ouch! I'd be gutted! Nice car aswell! Shame it's not a Seat
Haha that's what I said!! Luckily he didn't have the young un in the car! All he has a s a memory is the headlight washer haha.
Ouch I would be crying if that was my car. Never a good crash to be in, as it's likely they will say the car behind pays for his repair/replacement but his insurer will pay for the car in front as the gap left wasn't big enough to prevent him being shunted into it. It's lose lose scenario. Hopefully no one was hurt that's the main thing.
exhaust
any vids mate love to hear the sport exhaust never heard one is it much louder than prestige

Replaced the bubbling and knackered centre caps and bolt covers with shiny new ones from Dave @Seremotors. Finished the car off a treat.
This just happened this morning.
No injuries luckily, but not happy in the slightest.
Going in tomorrow to see if it can be popped out.

No idea atm vs the Prestige, will have to meet up with another guy off here again to compare. Will try and get some videos up too.
