No problem Daniel, if your boots are muddy carpet isn't much good but it does dry your soles of your shoes off to stop them slipping off the pedals.

Ebay pre-cut sunstrip tint fitted. It goes well with the wind deflectors and tinted Windows. This stuff still lets plenty of light through so I can still see the traffic lights.

Could have done 2 weeks ago hal I was in Northumbria visiting family. It's easy to fit I sprayed water on the strip back with a drop of fairy liquid and moved it into place then used a card to squeegee out the water.

Thanks Jack, I think this is 20% I forgot to message them after I bought it that I wanted 35% (one less dark) but this is fine. When you are inside it looks very light.

The mats arrived just in time for the wet weather and they fit pretty well. Surprisingly they also come with a 2 year gaurantee for heel wear.

This evening I wanted to check how clean the throttle body was so removed the pipe and gave it a clean with a rag and carb cleaner, it wasn't as dirty as I thought it would be after all these years.

Reminds me of when I removed my 205 gti throttle body to improve airflow by boring it out slightly and polished it to a mirror finish. Not sure if it gave much bhp increase but the smooth internals never got sooted up.
