Ordered a bunch of stuff from Autovaux last night. Eagerly awaiting their arrival now
Have also got my centre console out in the sun to finish drying the final coat of paint I put on last night

Missed the cup holder in the front door and dropped a large McOrange Juice on the floor under my feet.. Whilst travelling at 100km/h... The fun part was when it hit the floor the lid popped off providing an orange juice explosion that hit the drivers door, window, seat, back seat and then filled both the door pocket and foot well with orange juice...
Tasty....

Well I cleaned my EGR Valve today. Only cleaned it 5k ago but decided to do it more regularly due to the amount of soot it gathers up

Had a crack at colour coding today. I pulled off the bumper strips off my Corsa and had a go at it. I learned several important lessons:
*Auto-One will happily mix up any colour you want in an aerosol can for a decent price
*There are two Star Silver 3 colours - one is slightly brighter and more metallic than the other
*I used the wrong colour so will get a can of the second forumlation and try again next pay
*Don't even think about going to Holden for the colour
*Great prep is everything - don't sand down the plastic enough and the finish will look horrid
So whilst the bumper strips look ok, the colour is a very slight mismatch and I need to redo the sanding on the strips as they're a rough still. However, i'm really happy with my first go at it and feel really confident that I can do the rest of the external trims myself instead of paying someone $500 to do it!
Meanwhile, i've gpt a new Alpine headunit on lay-by too, so when I pay for that and get it installed, i'll post photos. No photos of the colour-coding yet though as the bumpers need to have little paint chips sorted out.
