Was given loads of Chemical Guys cleaning products and 90% of them have been brilliant (and smell like you want to eat them :D) but the Interior detailer which at first looked good leaves white streaks if rain manages to get in through the window onto it.
Gave the interior a clean up with Halfords own Dash & Trim cleaner, heard it was good and for £4 worth a go. It's loads better and took off all the old residue from the Chemical Guys stuff.

They should not need the wheels off for the alignment but you should be able to see if there is any rubbing on the flex pipe

Had a feel around and I don't get the impression it's rubbing - I had the wheel at full lock so I could get a look in, and they weren't touching, but there would be a chance that the flex pipe would touch when turned full lock the other way. I'll try and get a jack out and have a closer look, but I don't get the impression anything catastrophic is happening. Thanks for the eagle eyes though - I'll make sure I keep an eye on it.

It’s ok sometimes I can’t get out off work mode when looking at cars

I do still have it but not sure whether I will sell it because I also have all the armrest bits too and would probably sell as a whole if I did.

Got my reducer from creation motorsport for the RamAir oversized filter to fit into the MAF. Next to do is relocate the battery to the boot and section off the corner to keep the air cool

Is that the SFS 70mm oversized TIP?

No, I really appreciate it. I can do most of the simple fixes on the car, but I don't have the kind of experience that means I can look at it and say 'hmm - that doesn't look right'. It saves a lot of money when you can sort something early on, rather than only finding out when the alternator explodes or something that I could have solved it six months ago by tightening a screw or something simple like that.
