I had a suede wheel for a while but they wear in no time and dont feel the best. They are designed for racing gloves. I changed for the same wheel but in leather.

Got the car cleaned and went over it with a bit of quick detailer so I could see exactly what needs to be done, thing is plastered in tar so that's first on the list along with a clay and buff, both rear arches have a little paint missing on them so going to touch that up, ordered a load of stuff to let me properly get the car sorted like a portable impact gun, jack, stands etc etc so I can get the wheels off and do the arches and so forth, Interior also needs a good clean so come the better weather the seats and carpets will be getting a good scrub along with the mats, everything should come up pretty well, it's mint inside, it's just not my standard of clean lol
Brakes get a little spongy under heavy braking so next year when I can it'll be getting braided hoses, DS2500 pads and new, matching tyres, all round
(has 3 different makes at the moment :/)
Anyway, took some non phone camera pics.

Ripped this out whatever it was, seemed to have something to do with the OEM diverter valve and it wasn't actually connected to anything on than a plug which I'm going to get a resistor for
Ordered some new R badges as the ones on it are corroding so when I'm buffing it next month I'll replace those to freshen the outside up a bit more

Got a DAS6 Pro for my birthday and I've been itching to try it out, thought the paint was faded because the spoiler looked a bit deeper in colour, turns out some clown painted the spoiler emocion red instead of flash red haha, so that's another thing to add to the list
Didn't get enough time to hard wire my dash cam or re do the CV boot on the passenger side so I'll get those done next week

Getting the car ready for Loughgall tomorrow over the last week, starting with the seats
Changed out the crappy silicone centre caps in favour of some genuine ones
And got rid of the old corroded R badges and replaced with genuine ones
Also ordered an Airtec FMIC which should be here next week, and both CVs are needing replaced

Seats came up well !
Nice simple wee touches like the badges etc make a big difference.
