Recent snap of your Westfield

[Kingster]

As per another post, here’s a recent snap of my (ex) Westfield 

 

 

turned up to a car meet in Inverness when I was up there for the weekend.

 

Not quite a coincidence though because it now belongs to a mate of a mate and I also still keep in touch with the new owner.

Do you miss owning it?

Not when it’s wet!

 

It was strange seeing it again after just over a year since I sold it. But honestly, I really, really like the Exige so no, I don’t miss the westy. 

 

The Lotus has a proper roof and is so much more confidence inspiring in the wet that it meant that what would have been a miserable weekend in the Westy was great fun in the Lotus. Which is the reason I swapped over in the first place. 

 

However, if I were to actually drive it again around those lovely highland roads on a nice sunny day, the answer might be different 😁

Turned out nice. I left a bit later and the frost was all gone.

Finally managed to combine a work-from-home Friday with some half decent weather

I like the stripes, is that a new edition. Did you fit them yourself.

Yip, like you said I wanted to try something to break up the mass of the bonnet. Sum total of about £18 so if I change my mind haven't spent much.

Bargain, how fiddly was the application process.

Pretty easy tbh. Just lined up the broad carbon ones with masking tape and applied them dry. And the thin ones I just did freehand, took me back to putting coachlines on cars way back.

All vinyl from Ebay and very sticky, 2-3 weeks in and no issues.

Baby steps towards engine replacement

It’s a bit muddy out there. The wheel arch was absolutely covered until I drove through a bit of a flood and that washed most of it off! Still, will be washing the car in a bit…

Todays - after wash picture

 

 

Later changed headlights bulbs from Philips +130% etc  to Aliexpress LEDs , 

 

 

Was during a beer so test drive tommorow evening, but looking good so far, seems a good improvement.

 

(thanks for advice @Flying Carrot Steve !  (in fact His advice was original Auxito bulbs, but I'v  tried the Alixepress version - will see. External quality looks really good , as is the fitting) From parking perspective I really can see improvement, might be partly due to more blueish colour, but in long distance swithch now I see the bulbs are working, that was not alway the case with halogen H4)   )

First drive after fitting the side screens and they really make quite a difference in the cold weather, I was noticeably warmer inside. Had a 3 figure blast on the motorway too and they performed well, just a shame they've arrived just before Sorn.

The car looks very smart with the stripes. Premade ones or cut from vinyl? Link if possible please?
