The car has returned to the UK without any serious issues; there are minor issues listed above but none of them are show-stoppers - barely more than inconveniences, with the exception of the lights, which will be refurbished before I next use it next year!

Have you considered a pair of René's headlight lenses Neil?

Not yet; this is still in planning.

The mission to return to Potsdam has today included a car drive from Evesham to Oxford; a bus from Oxford to Luton; and now we wait in a hotel until half past four tomorrow morning. Then a flight to Berlin; a Regio train to Potsdam; a tram to the bus interchange; and a bus home.

You like the easy life Neil !

It's this bloody retirement. I never get time to sit still.

We're back in Potsdam now, with just the French Thing[tm] on the drive.

One of our esteemed members has fitted these using silicon channel as a seal, having first completely removed all previous remains then refurbing the lower section. It looks really neat and has the advantage of being splittable should anything go awry.

41 miles to the gallon .... love a coupe !!!
