If anyone wants that parcel shelf I'll happily swap for a good condition standard one that's not saggy :)

It'll probably just be new paint that's next craigy . Body shop at the start of April :)

I noticed a while ago there was a little water in the spare wheel well . I stripped out the boot & took off the plastic back panel to find that BOTH sunroof drains had came out their sockets ! I put them back in & cable tied them so they'll not budge .
Thankfully it's still not too bad looking in there seeing as it's out in all weathers :-) Image

If you look closely you can see the amount of water that's run out the soundproofing while the carpet was over the fence.... :-o

Cheers guys . Steve I totally agree ! The drains actually looked as if they have been shaped to go over the top of the bulbs in the rear light cluster . Anyone not aware how easily these tubes come out could pull it out & not even realise ! I put the cable ties on mines as when I was putting the carpet back into position the corner of the carpet actually caught it & pulled it out again !!! Hopefully now it'll be solid & the car won't mist up as bad now.... Time will tell :)

Dropped the auld girl off at body shop last week to get the bottom half on both sides sprayed along with the underside of the doors . Had the bit behind the number plate painted too & the whole car machine polished . Really happy with how it turned out :-) Image
Once the paint hardens & I can was it I'll post up some new pics
