Constructive day at Marios work shop today with Marietto, discodaz & SG03 RRZ Over the moon with my detango'd headlights, STi oil cap, temp orange bulbs, new battery holder and the sweet smell of bubble gum in my car not going to lie its a bit frightening looking at your headlights in the oven but well worth it in the end..
Cheers again for pushing me to get it done

It was a pleasure bud - I love seeing your face when me and Daz say things like "we'll have to bray it off with the hammer" - quality mate. I've never seen ayone watch their headlights in the oven for so long. Anyway we gave your Scoobs lots of love today and it was great therapy & company for me with my Subaru brothers, sister (Sam Brown) and wee Paige & Oscar Brown. Especially since there was no Terminator to pamper today

Today we used Autoglym Engine & Machine Cleaner & Autoglym Vinyl & Rubber Care - 1st time using that as I usually use Meguiars Engine Clean & Meguiars Engine Dress
I sometimes use Areospace 303 Protectant after I have cleaned the engine. Just spray on, close the bonnet and leave overnight.

Billy I've done quite a few NESF member's engine bays over at mine so you are welcome any weekend (except next weekend of course!) as that's what I do as my "therapy" on the weekend - clean the car!
Saw your car up at Andy K's last week - you did a cracrking job on the headlights mate. I got my rear Hawkeye light clusters smoke painted - like this:
