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?

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 £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.
