Did mine on Saturday. It is a later model facelift so fairly clean anyway but pays to keep on top of the job once you have the bay clean.

I use Auto Glym Tyre Dressing which is also suitable for engine bays, white milky substance which is very thin to apply but i put some in a container and applied with an old paintbrush which gives more control rather than spraying directly from the nozzle.

Looks white when going on but allow to dry and stand back to admire the results !

But at least the bonnet release mod has been carried out :sissy:

it was mentioned before on a different thread, didnt get one with the car and as i didnt realise it should have one didnt miss it. I didnt have one on my previous 75 either so somebody somewhere must have loads.

Just missed one on e bay recently, will keep looking

Also interesting to note that you have exactly the same hose arrangement where the 'optional' FBH would be sited... I keep looking at that spot under my bonnet saying to myself.... I want one!!!!

Ordered a battery cover from Les and great service as usual - there is one currently on e bay but mine was cheaper - well done and thanks again Les
