Well today was the first chance I have for a decent run since collecting the car on Monday. The roads were reasonably dry but I was surprised at how much dirt collects on the bottom of the car. I'm wondering if there's anything I can do reduce the dirt....Apart from bone dry sunny days, avoiding puddles and country lanes of course?
Still wouldn't change it for anything else though.

Stunning, Bri.

You could consider getting a paint protection film added to the sills...won't stop them getting dirty but will be slightly easier to clean and will also stop stone chips (just in front of the rear wheels is a stone magnet).

You could also add some film to the front while you're there if you're that way inclined (I am...my whole car is covered now!).

Thank's for the advice. Looking at the dirt on the car gives me a clear indication where the protection should be.
I think the protective film sounds like a wise move. I'll make some enquiries here in the North East before I put too many miles on the clock.

I've seen the protective plastic work for myself and it great. I would advise using it where you can afford, especially around the Sills.

Shes looking good Bri. How is the cill protection film looking? Still happy with it?
Pretty sure Im going to get my cill area wrapped shortly after collecting.... don't want my newly sprayed gloss design cills getting marked! Wink
