While in Durban i had taken the car for a maintenance wash and wax at OCD:
Quote:
This time around, i had the morning free so i took the car to them myself and waited for it. I learnt a hell of a lot and actually saw where my wash technique is completely wrong. The car was washed using 2bm, wiped down in the garage and then waxed with AF Spirit. This AF Spirit smells awesome and does a great job. Even at the passed weekends event, i had some asking me if the car was waxed before the event yet all i did was wash and dry. OCD Detailing has come a long way, even though detailing is there business, they do not shy away from spreading the knowledge. Kyle constantly updated me with what he was doing, explaining why and the benefits of each task. Yulz did a great job with the tyre gel. Thanks guys! Coating next...

Front Bumper Undercarriage covers Gearbox Sump (New oil and filters as well) Rear trailing arms 2 rear tyres I replaced the following while the car was in: Front control arms and bushes Front Tie Rods Front Stabilizer Bars When i picked up the car, the rear end was all over the place. Took it to my mechanic, he found the rear left stub axle bolts all loose. He tightened them but one of the bolts stripped so it kept coming loose. At this stage, the people who did the suspension had closed. I contacted Insurance, advised them and provided the report from my mech. Today, we await the response and way forward. My mechanic did temp fix the issue and the car feel much better, bar the rattle. Hopefully, a new stub axle to be fitted and all will be good. Some pics from Divio at the Kyalami open day:

So I'm curious about those tail lights. Are the LED accents actually the brake lights or is there still 2 brake light bulbs, behind the accents, in each housing?
Car looks great btw!!

Great read....I'm also very curious about those tail lights, they look/looked spot on and in my opinion better than Lci lights...did you say there F10 style?
Did they require coding to avoid dash faults..? Again a great read.. |

Do you have any video from the outside (except for the cold start) after you've had the exhaust done? I'm considering doing downpipe (emptied my DPF, but the "box" is still there) - just not sure of what it would do to the sound.
