Another satisfied Armidale Run member!!! Still smiling today!!! Found it very hard driving to work today to try and stay on the limit. Car ran beautifully all weekend but definately need to replace the rear tyres now. They have just started peeling on the rear so they are cooked. The only downside of the trip as naishou would vouch for was the number of stonechips!!! Will have to go the bra option!!

I've just washed my car and it's not as bad as I originally thought. It's only around the grille opening where the underlying plastic is black that it's really noticeable. I'm going to give the touch up paint a go. You black guys probably have more difficulty with this if it gets down to the primer. On mine the primer seems to be a light colour so it's not really very noticeable against the silver.

One more thing is that it looks like I'm going to have to take my wheels off to clean them. There's a ton of tar and gravel on the insides from the newly surfaced roads.

Black cant really hide the chips. I recieved a lot more than I thought, no major ones but let say heaps of minors! Not so happy with how fragile the paint really is! But hey, it was worth the fun! No point just keeping them in the garage!
