Wheels needed a proper cleaning, suspect they’ve not Been cleaned properly for years.

Fixed some of the lights, including the puddle lights which were all rotten.

Replaced with some led logo lights.

Looks very nice, and Tom my son thinks they are cool too!

Ext project is to replace the head unit. Not much wrong with it, but can put do much with it.

Going to install one of these to give us Bluetooth and WiFi, to connect the Garmin action cameras too.

Rear wiper and washer both not working, so a job for tomorrow, pictures to follow.

I suspect it’s the usual problem of the arm end being blocked.

Also today replaced the noisy front wipers with the newer style units, what a great improvement!,

Much quieter and smother in operation and clean the screen better too!,

Which one?

The old www.nigelpugh.com version?

It’s way out of date I’m afraid!

Will change it soon!,

I put those on my L322 along with 19" wheels the same as yours actually and they've impressed me. Great in the snow and pretty quiet on the road.

The only downside is they're only rated to 99mph but I don't want to go much faster than that all that often.

Thanks that’s good to hear!

I’m also not bothered about top speed, can’t even see me getting up to the ton!

Had a chance to clean mine now, 1,500 miles in and still all working laugh

It does get lots of comments and oddly picking friends up over this weekend their perception was it is more special than my old RRS. Still loving the colour too.

I saw a white Velar on the M5 by Birmingham with the black pack I presume. It looked awful. So another one in grey like yours and much much better. I would want a L405 though.

They are very colour dependant. I saw a black one recently that looked fantastic!

Nice Ninety!
What/how did you galvanically isolate the body from the chassis when reassembling?

I just can’t make my mind up about these - every day I feel differently about the look, today I’m loving them and yours looks very tidy! I have the urge to get a D180 S for my wife but I’m worried it won’t be powerful enough, thing is once the kids have been in there on the school runs it will be wrecked and I just can’t justify spending more on a bigger engine as it will break my heart!
