New parts to order are:

    - Engine Undertray (does not have one at the moment)
    - Under bonnet insulation (taken original one off as it was falling apart)
    - front driverside inner wheel arch (existing one broke where it connects to the bumper)

Nothing major or performance related, but I dont like knowing that things are wrong.....think I have a problem (well, my wife tells me I have - lol)

Update:

ordered and received:

- Engine Undertray (does not have one at the moment)
- Under bonnet insulation (taken original one off as it was falling apart)
- front driverside inner wheel arch (existing one broke where it connects to the bumper)

The Under Bonnet insulation is about to get a coat of black paint, as it currently looks like this:

The Inner Wheel Arch: (sorry rubbish pic)

Image



Also in the middle of researching a replacement for my very old Halfords Trolly Jack and stands. Next update to include pics of painted Bonnet Insulation, purchased trolley Jack and maybe a bit more - lol.

still working through the list....

New Trolley Jack & Stands

Thought it was time to upgrade my trolley jack and stands. SGS Engineering products looked good and their service got good reviews. So, a purchase was made:

Inner Wheel Arch and Engine Under Tray

Order a new inner wheel arch and engine under tray last week. Fitted them both today.

The inner wheel arch had cracked and there was no engine under tray - always nice to replace and add to bring back to good. The pictures below show the new Trolley Jack, Stands, engine under tray, inner wheel arch and plenty of new clips and bolts.

Alloy Refurb

Not done too much recently, just enjoying driving her at every opportunity. However, I have recently refurbished all the alloys and put on new tyres all round. As always here are a bunch of pictures:

Wheels in original condition:

Jacked up and wheel off to the alloy-man!

Wheels back looking very nice; decided to stay with dark grey on the outside, but black on the inside:

That's nice. What's it like compared to the wr1?

I'm going to start using mine daily, been parked up for two years in a garage and very little use during summer, not getting the true benefit from the car. Just need to overcome getting the bloody thing covered in salt :D

You cant compare them - two totally different beasts.

The ST220, is a great motorway workhorse. Comfortable, loads of space, quiet. I have lowered it with Eabach springs, added spacers and added a Miltek Exhaust. The kids love it because it has heated rear seats too :-)

I have had lots of daily drivers, merc's, BM's, Audi, etc - M3, X5, A6, 530i, 730i etc....and I must admit the ST220 is just as good and fun to drive....and A LOT cheaper to service,tax and repair if needed. I picked this one up last January, 4.2K with FSH, immaculate and only 32K on the clock - absolute bargain!
