Last night before i went to bed i thought id have a cheecky go at doing some Carbon wrapping..... proves to be difficult lol.:wtf:

Today has been fooking lovely again, so decided to give the old girl a spit and polish, "Dirty Girl" sprug to mind.:whistling::whistling:

After id finished cleaning it, i fitted the Carbon Wrapped bits, a few more blue Samco hoses to the engine bay, and my new D1 Spec Blue Lightweight Wheel Nuts,

Oh and then took some pics with my bros goochy camera :disgusted:

4D being the shiny stuff Craig used on his? does look alot nicer, and i suppose with it being shiny, it could be polished too.
