Today, as it was so lovely and sunny, I cleaned my car. I hate cleaning cars as you forget how many scratches and knocks your car has, and wiping the dirt off reminds you.

Anyway, I turned this:

On another note - the first day of sun in a long time, the first time with the roof off since October, and wow. I forgot how great Elises are.

Good job, can completely understand where your coming from. Black, Fibreglass aswell aint exactly the best of bodywork but looks great.

Certainly worthwhile and puts a smile on your face dont they, well when its dry and bright!

More then likely it will crack.

Also Altrezia did you replace your front indicators for clears? cant help think it looks alittle odd to the rear/sides.

Very nice indeed, you must have enjoyed that, fancy doing mine.... ps, where did you find that sunshine, wouldnt mind seeing a bit of that myself. Was the dirt due to a trackday??

They are indeed after-market indicators.

Dirt is just because its used daily, and my drive is grubby country lanes. smile
