My new cabriolet - 216 SE
Re: My new cabriolet - 216 SE
Not managed to find the time to do much on the car, other than rack up my first 1000 miles of ownership, the new oil is just starting to tinge colour now :-(
Still got lots of niggly little jobs todo, and still not tried the new alloys yet.

An update I. The cabby still going strong but the wife just hit it with her scenic so I've now got a dented / scraped rear arch! Bloody women! So I've now got two dented cars to repair!

Re: My new cabriolet - 216 SE
Did a couple of little jobs on the car today.
Got the washer jets working again - look at the dirt that was trapped between the wing and arch cover!

Whilst I was there I waxoyl'd the inner wing and swapped over the a worn tyre, but found that the spare has been painted a different colour!

Not being a fan of the wood trim I swapped in some from an mg zr

Finally got round to fitting my new alloys, using these whilst I consider refurbing the originals.

Re: My new cabriolet - 216 SE
Yes I think I will. Going to experiment with a diy refurb and see what I Can get one looking like.
Need money for new tyres and time to do them! Meanwhile the other alloys have tons of tread and look ok!
