    It can be difficult to tell yourself that you have done enough on this car when there is so many minor faults. Well done on the cabin filter never too be seen again on this channel. 👍👍

    Stinky Ella is starting to look good. I love the red, but you have been lucky with the match on this one. Think it has definitely had a bump on the passenger side rear as the crash bar was all red paint on that side. As always love the channel and keep up the good work. 🏆

    Chaps and chapettes -- the pollen filter cover is made easier if once you have the cover removed for the firts time --trim back the plastic bit around the screws and then replace the screws with a 7mm self tapper bolt. You can then easily get an open ended spanner sidewys on.. you will see what i mean trust me. The original shroud around the factory screws make it a begger to get the screws and consequently the cover out , Once you make the modification it is a relativle easy job the second time in.. just changed my wifes car pollen filter and was easier than then the first one...........

    Hi Paul, thumbs up again ! could you make a how to on painting the bumper or break down the process in steps? I understood that you first wet sand surface (paper type/grain ?), use some filler for the holes (which type?), sand again, grey primer (1 coat), spray paint (how many coats?) , polish (types ? a heavy duty and a finisher ?) ... thanks a lot 🙂

    Poor you. The pollen filter is really in the wrong place. Mine doesn't have a steering gear on that side...so it's easy to replace.
    Have you tried removing plastic scratches with a heat gun yet?

    Good job on the pollen filter Paul, never had mine done wonder how much a garage charges, I ain't doing it after watching that 😂
