Well its about time I got a diary started so here goes...
I purchased my 07 SRi 1.9CDti 150 a few weeks back with 44k on the clock, loads of service history, fresh mot etc and at a great price, but having another car to get rid of meant I could't use the vectra just yet, however this weekend I finally had the insurance changed over and I'm now enjoying the veccy which is a great combination of economy and power imo, the coupe is still for sale though so pm me if your interested
Shame the weather wasn't better this weekend because I wanted to give the veccy a good machine polish and wax however due to the rain I had to settle for just a good wash instead (roll on better weather!) there was lots of green stains & dirty in all the hard to reach areas so they got a good seeing too.
The veccy was clean but just not to my standard so I gave the interior a good going over, hoovered everything and gave all the trim a wipe down. I also removed the un-used Witter twin socket tow bar as I have no use for it -the wiring was hooked into all sorts so carefully removed it all (the reason the car was traded in was because the last owners wanted to tow a massive caravan on verious holidays etc and the towing weights for the vec where on its limit! I also fitted my irmy tax disc holder & sunglasses holder (I do have the centre roof one but the missus has already claimed it lol), fitted a set of flat blade wipers and insignia washer jets (brilliant combo imo) and I had a set of silvertec indicator bulbs laying around so they went into the rear lights, I also purchased a set of vaux mats, they are a perfect fit and look great!
Heres a bunch of photos, sorry about the order, they are abit mixed up but you get the idea!
Next jobs to do are fit a new pollen filter, de-badge the boot and fit a boot liner. I also want to do the machine polising when the weather is better, remove the alloys to clean under the archs and seal the alloys with some poorboys sealant.
Plenty of mods lined up in the future too so watch this space!
