Default Sapphire out for last day of the year

Usually the Sapphire is sorn from October, so thought I would keep it taxed incase of any nice days.
Not really done much to it over the years, apart from polishing it and changing the wheels.
Decided it needed a bit more life in it so now changed from stage 1 setup to stage 3 setup, such a difference, drivability has improved greatly and is now as responsive as my 3 Door.
Brakes were standard so a whole new setup has been brought, fronts already fitted (360mm), rears (330mm) are sitting in the boot to be fitted when I get time to do it.
Blotches in pics are from my bloody iPhone, can't clean them off.
