I must admit, besides Pugfest my number plate is *always* obscured... I had ordered show plates too... I HATE my number plate being out there... :cry:

Oops, will fix number plate, though the car was in Autocar last week.

No armrests on any of the coupes as standard, though there's an official Pug one that bolts onto the centre console. I've not been missing it too much yet though.

So having done so few miles (less than 200 in the last two years), there was a reasonable amount of surface rust on lots of bits underneath the car. Nothing on the chassis, but some of the other bits weren't great (e.g. track rods, drop links, hubs, etc etc). So again thanks to KrisB's expertise, everything was cleaned up, all the loose rust and paint removed, and then the whole of the bottom of the car coated in a thick coat of underseal and waxoyl.

And the calipers painted matt black for good measure
