Thought I'd update this as it's been a while. Nothing major but still worth doing! :)
I went to adjust my coilovers and they're seized solid. Tried everything to unseize them but I just ended up wrecking the adjuster rings. I need some new ones for MOT time as now the adjusters are knackered the spring doesn't automatically seat correctly being let down after being jacked up. I'm hoping for some Apex RDXs but funds are really right at the moment as I'm getting married next year so it'll most likely be FK's again :(.
And more recently I've been correcting the paint work (again) due to more swirl marks which I caused using QD when my car was was beyond just a little dusty.
Small before and after
It took around 17 hours in total (inc prep). I wanted to get it looking nice for the Uk-Mkivs MegaMeet as I entered it into the show and shine, which paid off! :smiley:
And a couple of photos from the day
I won the Overall Winner and Peoples choice, best in show. Was extremely surprised as I wasn't expecting anything. It's made my year! So glad all my hard work paid off :)

Thanks dude :smiley:. I'm really happy with how it looks. I just need to go over the drivers side and the bonnet a bit more :(. The pad I was using got to the point it wasn't cutting as good anymore so there are still a few swirls in the sun on that side. Going to order a new orange Hexlogic pad soon and give it a 2-3 passes and it should be a lot better :)
