What have you done to your Elgrand today?

Seeing as the dog absolutely destroyed the interior of my previous car, this time he is being confined to a crate. I had one of those back seat covers that hangs off all the headrests to keep them clean, so I chopped it up and made a custom crate and boot floor liner. Got to at least start with good intentions right?

Forgot to post these up. Got myself some new tyres and alloy wheels.

The tyres are Nokian Weatherproofs and the alloys are Wolfrace Eurosport JDM's in Gunmetal.

So far so good .

Nice wheels, reminiscent of R35 Nismo/track pack Rays :)

I’d like something like these but polished.
 
Fitted my newly painted winter wheels with landsail winter tyres. 😎👍👍👍👍

Ebay special

get the 2 meter one as its 1.75 from memory and the other size is 1.4

£3.99 then lots of water so it doesn't stick too early, had to trim as too deep...i've got to bottom of tint as otherwise it gets into view area, took 15 minutes to fit....
 
Ok seen a post on here about shitty steering wheels so I decided to take off a horrid steering cover that was on when I bought it and the wheel was rough dirty bald leather went on ebay to see about another cover then spotted a leather dye product bought it to nearest colour I could get (should of bought both greys and mixed together for a better match) anyway tried to use circular motions as it stated soon got pissed of with that I'm no Mr miaggi so got a half inch brush and feathered it on 3 coats later and a 48 hour leave went out and it don't look half bad just gotta take off little bit off the plastics but a damp cloth is working well gonna post a pic when I work out how.

That's not too bad fella

mine has those crappy 'wooden' inserts too so really annoying, gonna have to get a cover as its knackered...will post pic at some point, but gearshift was same, that was removed and replaced with Pokeball early on though

think previous owner wore lots of jewelry lol
 
Got a new battery from Halfords today.
Yeasa HSB072 Silver.
Comes with a 5 year guarantee, when I asked the guy if it was worth the paper its written on he said 'If the battery fails in the 5 years they'd replace it with no quibbles'!
It wasn't the one I went to get but was the most powerful that would fit straight in...best thing it was only £85.00 which was £24.00 cheaper than Halfords own battery which was less powerful and only 4 year guarantee.
 
all I done so far is 1 new tyre fixed electrics (well had them fixed) put new battery in on tues. bought a jvc radio yesterday to be fitted and washed the grand once a week since I got it :eek: other tyres to come at some point :cool: oh and de-cat this weekend if not raining :rolleyes: then some bling ;)
 
That's plenty of stuff completed, time to relax and have a beer :)
