Default My S1 (NOT 56k friendly)

Some pics (well, quite alot really ) that I took of my car today. She's a bit grubby after the winter as she's stored and hasn't been cleaned or touched this year at all. Have got a a new plenum to go on this year which is cleaner, and a few bits and a few other bits and pieces to clean up this year too. Excuse the rather crappy photoshop blackouts but it's the first time I've ever done it, and TBH I'm quite proud of myself !!! Took her out for a drive back home, and then back to her hiding place

Leave yours alone Mike mine was restored and I'm the fussiest fecker as dad can testify yours doesn't need it. If you've got dings and marks maybe get them done but don't go for a full repaint.
