Very nice.

Though I think you may have missed a bit (inside the wheels).

not trying to scratch an OCD itch here but your passenger side windscreen wiper (fitted with a non-standard straight blade) does sit a little high on the screen

Its interesting you mention that as its another project I have on.

The plastic trim piece at the bottom of the windscreen has been knocked by something in the past and its not quite smooth and flush in places against the windscreen. It has a couple of jagged and rough marks on it causing it to rub against the wiper blades.

Due to that its taken a very little piece out of the wiper causing the occasional line across the screen when they are being used!

Its caused me lack of sleep and counselling so far and will be fixed!

Blades are just some Bosch ones I grabbed from Halfords.

In other news over the last month or so the car has had:

New Front Discs
New Front Pads
New Rear Discs
New Rear Pads
New Rear Callipers
New Front Tyres (Dunlop Sport Max)
New rear side bulbs
Service
MOT
Centre Diff leak fixed and new seals and oil
Front Diff leak fixed and new seals and oil
Sump Gasket replaced and new bolts
New Fog light Grill
Spare Emergency Key made

The fog light grill is probably the most expensive!!
You seem to have had much the same work done as myself! How much did the new rear calipers cost? Did you consider refurbishment?
