    Cheers Edd,

    Its the fact it's there tho, i fixed a bit next to it and that was fine. Its the prob that it is right on where the sunroof surround is welded/bonded. So if the car sweats that is where water gets trapped. So even tho i wire brushed it all clean, rust treated it, painted it, then under seal waxed it. It can still get it. Which pi**ed me off.

    And you'll take it back to get it fixed, believe me its grates on you every time you see it.. And with roofs cause they are what you look down at (might just be mine cause of the lowness) but you cant not see it.

    Started the day off with a bit of tracking. As i've found the car pulls to the right, last night on a quiet motorway in the inside lane i found if i even gently sped up the car would drive across to the outside lane..

    Popped to the Local ProTyre. Only place i trust. Big thanks to Paul, Jim and Kenny.



    Oooo lazors..



    Kenny getting all the book settings up,



    Toe was miles out, now set with a bit pointing in. Camber isnt to bad. But i have bad toe on the rear both wheels to the left.. Which isn't good...

    Moved on to picking one of these up as i needed one for a while...



    Is abs plastic with a resign like coating on the insides as its from a boat place. £9.99... Win.
    Not a fan of the red lid tho... Gave it a coat of satin black.. Mucho better.




    Back on to the roof...
    Re wrapped the car up with the plastic sheet to save polishing splatter.. Set about with 1500 then 2000 grit finishing paper..

    Before,



    You can see the orange peel in the reflection, no where near as bad as it used to be. Cause the body shop have a all now £25k oven and the new painter is really good.

    After,





    Quite flat..






    Now as the thunder and lashing rain has stopped, i can wash the car and try and blow some of the dust from the insides out (from being at the body shop and all the sanding)
