So I only just spotted this thread in the B5 section, and was wondering why we don't have one?

http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a4-s4-forum-b5-chassis/163779-what-have-you-done-today.html

So what have you been upto on your car no matter how big or small, post it up. Saves you creating a new thread just for washing your car!

As for my own car, I parked it up into my garage pretty much right after ADI, and it's been dormant since. I did take it out yesterday however, just to give it a good clean. Didn't take any pictures though. lol

I'll just post a clean pic of my car anyways! :laugh:

Not sure Dani... Got it terracleaned first and then he tried this new solution to get rid of the carbon but just turned it into tar... Then my pal used a few different solutions to see which was best.... I'll find out for ya...
 
I had an entire weekend off cars for a change, and rode my bike instead.

****** loved it too

Bought new wiper blades as mine have definitely seen better days.
 
Nothing! Still waiting on my catch can, might do my n249 delete tomorrow just for something to keep me occupied. Hoping my number plate LED's will turn up tomorrow as well.
 
N249 delete was done yesterday, and today i fitted led number plate bulbs (turned out my old bulbs were completely blown). dont know why I've left it till the winter to do these jobs, had all the parts laying around for ages
 
Sorted out my headlights using the 3M restoration kit. 5x better now. Forgot to take the before/after photos though!
