What did you do to your car today?

Today was kinda slow, all I managed to do was blow a fuse (which I replaced) and I finally found a spare minute to fit the new headlight bulbs the car needed.

Yesterday was a bit better though - I fitted some new OE mats. They'd been on back order for weeks but I don't regret waiting on them. Here's the result:

Old mats:

New mats:

New mats detail:

They came with 'invisible' fasteners and the driver's side is missing the heel reinforcement bit. Which I like, to be honest.

So. What did you do today?

long live small mods!

i drove mine today (to meet Nelson) and scared everyone in the petrol station with my exhaust!

Small mods are nice. It felt good to do something that improved the car without getting dirty hands or having to break out the jack.

I broke mine. It now has the fuel emissions light on. Anyone know what that could mean??

Going into the garage tomorrow.

They are nice indeed - 'twas a bit of gamble with them as the partsguy (Bert, cool fella) couldn't tell me much about them when I ordered. Came out really nice I must say. OE stuff roxxors.

Edit:

Petrified --> Perhaps the Lambda or MAF sensor?

Petrified: Mine did that a little while ago, turned out it was cheap fuel, I topped her up with some Shell and the light went out.

Speedy: Got mine from ebay for Â£12 delivered! Was well happy with them for that price

All I did today was wax the alloys, and about an hour later some little scum bags thought it would be funny if they threw hot chips on my car.
