Update - central locking all sorted, just needed a computer update £9.99 from Saab.

The body work was in a very tired state when I got the car, scrape down driver side (full length of car)
Very faded plastics, looked like it have never been washed, waxed or polished in it's life!

After 8 man hours of snow foam, 3 X 2 bucket method wash, attacking all areas with jet wash, getting in areas with a soft paintbrush, tar remover, clay bar, polish, sealant. It is looking so much better.
I need to get the alloys off to give them a real good scrub and the car still needs a good few layers of wax.
Luckily I have a friend who details on the side so his help was greatly appreciated.
Cleaned the interior and re conditioned the leather seats, bonnet badge replaced, just the ariel to replace tonight and I will be pleased with how she looks!

Here she is;

Looks great in that colour (I maybe a bit biased smile) and once your wheels are done it will make the car look much 'fresher' if you know what I mean.

Another update.

Got her remapped yesterday from a very reputable guy from UKsaabs (Noobtune).

250bhp and 370nm of torque - even more fun to drive now. Whoooooosh!
