replaced the battery, it dropped a cell.

threw some Upper Engine Clean, feels less sluggish, and runs smoother

Gave it a wash and wax with the Meguiars stuff. Also did the tyres and tried wax and grease remover to remove the left over glue on the Mivec badge, but didnt make much of a difference. Installed some festoon LED's as well that my mate had lying around spare.

Also noticed someone hit my car.. nice scratch near the front right side wheel well.. oh well..

I also washed and waxed... first time since purchasing the car 5 weeks ago. Kind of wished I did my usual and just go to the local car wash cafe and enjoyed a coffee while someone else did it. Cos now I'm acutely aware of all the little scratches, dents, and areas of imperfections on the car. Ignorance was bliss... I was happy not knowing all the flaws.
