      The autoglym bug and tar seems to shift everything- just a matter of giving it time to soak in and dissolve the adhesive.

                Don't they attach the removable tow bar to the mount ?

                        No idea. I paid some place to do it and they took about 4 hours! I didn't fancy getting under the skin on this one with the car being so new and the precious cargo being a new trailer and equipment.

                          Clair has inspired me to maybe get a bit funky with some wrap colours. I've been thinking about orange for a while. Wrapping the grill, roof, and wingmirrors. il keep the black bits i have already done.

                          First of all I will be getting the grill in black just to see if i prefer that but im opening it up any suggestions?

                            Personally I think that white cars look better with darker colours on the bits and pieces. Take the Red Edition...it works much better on the black car. I'm a big fan of orange anything but I don't know if it will suit the white.

                              Sounds like we need someone to Photoshop a DS3.
