    Clean you flap!

    Ok, so as it was such a nice day, i got round to a task i've been meaning to do for a long time! and now i am selling the car (), i wanted to get it looking as good as new.....

    the petrol flap area was a bit grotty with leaves, dust and grime....yuk!





    so first things first was to get the flap off and have a good root around with a rag dipped in meths. Then i took the flap and gave it a gentle scrub with a well known professional degreaser (fairy liquid ;) and it turned out pretty good.



    repeated with the petrol cap and flap "area"...



    now time to replace the worn out stickers with some stock...





    a spot of wax for good measure...

    et voila!




    the rubber is still a bit worn out but it looks much better than before.........oh, and i did change the clip back to the right way up after i realised it would not shut :o: :D


    The car got a good clean too....

        Wow, super clean car. Bummer you are in the UK, this is pretty much the exact car I am looking for - minus the auto.

        Good job on the clean up!

                  91 octane on an OEM sticker? Can someone explain this to me?

                    Higher octane requirement related to higher compression in Euro-spec engines or something? Ours only require 87 octane.

                    EDIT: Jeez Saturnv, thanks for stealing my thunder...
