Well today I wasn’t planning anything until I noticed condensation in my new rear light bar, tried to dry it out with a hot air gun but no, now it looks like soaking wet bubble wrap , a few leds are dark ( but still working)
Will have to take it off tomorrow and dry it slowly in the house ( no, she won’t be happy but needs must)( and I won’t tell her)
Think I’ll put the old lights back on till better weather and re seal the new ones
Up to now I’m still smiling : unamused:

Superglued the bumper on as I'm sick of looking at the sides jutting out, the screws aren't anywhere near it and I can't afford it falling off. Enjoying the rhythmic grinding as I drive. Wondering why it doesn't go as fast in reverse as it did before it went into the garage. Waiting for Autoglass as the crack is about a foot long now. Wondering where a random 'buzz' is coming from in the cockpit. Worrying that my rear screen has died. 4 months of ownership and the money pit has begun.

All in all a quality day.
